This latest edition of Be features some great yarns:

There's collectors and their obsessions with unusual things.

If you've found yourself scouring through junk yards, second-hand shops, antique boutiques and garage sales and are an early riser for swap meets, you've no doubt been bitten by the collector's bug.

There's the allure of running as a sport and a lifestyle.

Some cringe at the thought of walking more than 10 metres to the beer fridge, while others are at their best 10km into their monring session.

There's Beef - beyond the dinner plate.

The next time you indulge in your favourite beef burger spare a thought for where your meal has come from.

There's a CQ woman who is Australia's expert on aliens and UFOs.

While many of us believe we are not the only living beings in the universe, the jury is still out on UFO and alien sightings on Earth.

There's Alumni coming together in costumes for the cricket.

While some are in their element watching sport on the telly, others go to extraordinary, sometimes wacky lengths to enjoy it.

Our latest edition also profiles a CQUniversity alumnus who uses social media to pull a crowd at his blues gigs and we delve into the life of CQUniversity's new Associate Professor for Oral Health Leonie Short; while our parenting expert Dr Ali Black shares with us her tips on raising toddlers.

This edition's Around Central Queensland feature focuses on the township of Calliope and we also learn about the new technologies that make studying via distance education an easy choice. There is also our university news pages and calendar of upcoming events.
