Tragedy brings Fox family closer together. July 25,
SIX months after David Fox
celebrated his 21st birthday, the unimaginable happened. The big
brother he nicknamed "Skinny" killed himself.
Fox and his
younger sister Katrina -- heirs to the multi-billion-dollar fortune
of their father Lindsay -- found the body of 23-year-old brother
Michael on the floor of his Kooyong home in Melbourne in January
1991.
Michael Fox never recovered after his marriage fell apart.
The final line of his suicide note simply read: "Sorry, I love you
all, love, Skinny".
"He was my best mate. We spent so much time
together. I still have fond memories. It is like he still lives
every time you look at a photo," David Fox tells The Weekend
Australian in his first public comments on an event that rocked one
of Australia's richest families.

in my eyes, died of a broken heart

Vision into
reality - Council Plan July 24
Boroondara's Council Plan 2010?15 and Budget 2010?11 have now
been adopted and will guide how we deliver services and maintain and
develop infrastructure over the next five years.
Under this plan,
Council has committed to the following four key directions:
strengthening communities, enhancing the environment, ensuring
liveability and amenity, and providing facilities and
assets.
Mayor of Boroondara, Councillor Jack Wegman said the
vision is to create a vibrant, liveable city.
'We will develop
our arts and culture services, sustain our environment, support our
economic development and ensure the wellbeing and safety of our
community,' Cr Wegman said.
'We have already undertaken major
community consultation on the redevelopment of the Hawthorn Leisure
& Aquatic Centre and on the design of both the Camberwell
Library and the Hawthorn Town Hall Arts Precinct.

man in Doncaster Road on January 4 last year he crashed into Mrs
