Just one baby wombat (pictured) survived a hit-and-run massacre at the Bendeela camping ground at Kangaroo Valley in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales at the weekend. She has since been named Lucky, and will remain in care for at least the next year before being released into the wild. Witnesses said 10 of the animals were mowed down by a group of drunk campers who had killed the animals for sport. Richard Woodman, president of Wildlife Rescue South Coast attended the scene following the rampage and said only Lucky survived. 'I can't believe that people would go round killing wombats for sport or thrill. It's unconscionable,' he said.

Tiger Lily Hutchence - the daughter of Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates (inset) - stepped out with her half sisters in the South of France on Sunday afternoon. The brunette, 19, was frolicking in the waves, where she was the spitting image of her former INXS frontman father. She joined Pixie and Fifi just 24 hours after the wedding of her step-father, Bob Geldof, to his partner Jeanne Marine. Tiger - full name Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily - was just over a year old when her father died in a Sydney hotel room in 1997. Adding to the tragedy, she was only four-years-old when her mother suffered a fatal drugs overdose, three years later.

After years of surgery she is gaining independence but needs to learn how to eat again - a private Adelaide program which requires thousands of dollars.

Her mother Becky Holland, 34, says while it is hard, she has learned to appreciate and celebrate the small things and hopes to get her little girl to Adelaide within the next six months.

Sir Peter Cosgrove has generously bailed out a new member of Malcolm Turnbull's cabinet after she forgot to bring a pair of glasses and struggled to make out her oath during Monday's swearing-in ceremony. South Australian senator Anne Ruston appeared to have difficulty reading her oath as she was sworn in as the new Assistant Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources. But, the Governor-General - who was presiding over the ceremony - quickly stepped in and offered his own specs to the struggling senator.

Malcolm Turnbull has survived his first interview as Australia's new Prime Minister but not without poking fun at Today host Lisa Wilkinson (left), calling her 'grumpy' for her early morning grilling, in which she asked whether he could heal the divisions in cabinet. But some were asking whether Mr Turnbull's deflection was patronising in the context of his stoush with Labor frontbencher Tanya Plibersek, who accused him of 'mansplaining' in Question Time.

They're now free to flaunt their romance and it seems The Bachelor's Sam Wood and Snezana Markoski are making up for lost time.

DEREK LAWRENSON: Amidst unprecedented scenes of rancour and uproar that will forever tarnish the 14th Solheim Cup, the ladies' version of the Ryder Cup, Europe established a four point lead going into Sunday's singles matches but in circumstances that were truly shameful. Norway's Suzann Pettersen (top right) was the villainess of the piece on Sunday morning, perpetrating an act that went so far beyond the bounds of sportsmanship it left her English team mate Charley Hull (bottom right) in tears, let alone the opposition. The Americans were outraged. It all centred around the 17th green of a fourballs match held over from Saturday evening, featuring Hull and Pettersen against Brittany Lincicome and rookie Alison Lee (pictured in tears left). At the 17th Lee had a 12ft birdie putt, which rolled no more than 16 inches past the hole. By the side of the green Hull started walking, in a gesture that golfers everywhere will recognise as the concession of a small putt. All square down the 18th, we thought, as Lee duly scooped her ball up, but then Pettersen stepped in to say the putt had not been conceded. It meant an immediate loss of the hole for the Americans.

Jackie Collins, who died this weekend aged 77, had a wild, tumultuous life among some of Hollywood's biggest names. She used these relationships to inspire her well-loved books. Brando, as we shall see, wasn't the only star who chased her when she was just 15, and there was even a blind date she had enjoyed while still a teenager in London with an unnamed 'prince' who turned up to pick her up in a gull-wing Mercedes. Her undeniably wild youth notwithstanding, Collins always insisted she was really quite moralistic and that her amoral fictional characters always got their come-uppance in the end.

With concentration etched on their faces as they eagerly take notes during a lesson, these are the young Syrian children who continue to attend school despite the ongoing conflict. Sat on rows of wooden desks in a makeshift classroom, the youngsters can be seen listening intently and putting pen to paper as their school day continues as normal in the Idlib province of Syria.

A lone drawing of a tank could be seen etched on the bare wall of the classroom, accompanied by a scrawling which translates to: 'whom who kills his people is a traitor'.

Byfleet Manor (top left) in Surrey, a 17th century mansion on the site of an estate that pre-dates the Domesday Book, was once home to royalty. And in the hit ITV period drama it is Dower House, home to Lady Violet Crawley (centre), the acid-tongued dowager played by Dame Maggie Smith. The 6,000 sq ft home was put on the market for £3.95million, and offered with various separate lots - before selling for £5.95million. Savills confirmed it was a British person who bought it, with the sale representing a bumper profit for businesswoman Julie Hutton. She purchased the home around ten years ago for £1million, before renovating it while holding weddings on the picturesque estate. The eight-bedroom house has 18 acres of land with stunning period features.

Shutting out the world has allowed them survive more than 400 years. The Hutterites, like the Amish, are a collection of Anabaptist Christian communities whose values stem from the 16th century Reformation. Self-sufficient, they live a removed life where members spend their days working the land and attending church. And yet, like all other teens, most millennial Hutterites can be found on Instagram. Now, in an unprecedented collection of images, photographer Tim Smith offers a unique glimpse inside the traditional - and yet surprisingly modern - ways of one colony in Canada. Amid jumping over straw stacks (top left), Smith sees members of the Deerboine Colony texting and posting on Instagram (bottom right), flashing their new sneakers (top right), and arm-wrestling with members of a neighboring farm as they wind down after the annual fall harvest (bottom left).

Pope Francis may have spent months playing peacemaker with Cuba, but today he has shown he is unafraid to take on the ruling Castro family, who he has been highly critical of in the past. Meeting with Cuba's former revolutionary leader Fidel Castro today, Francis presented him with a book written by Spanish preacher Rev. Amando Llorente, a boyhood teacher of Fidel who was thrown out of the country when he came to power. He also used a Mass service in Revolutionary Square in Havana to tell the crowd to serve 'people, not ideologies'.
