Pink Floyd's 1973 classic has been voted Australia's favourite album of all time, in a national poll. Over 100,000 people were polled by ABC, placing their votes by phone, text message (SMS) and online. In second place was Jeff Buckley's Grace, followed closely by Radiohead's OK Computer. The Beatles grasped fourth and fifth places with Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper's respectively.

Items from the estate of Syd Barrett, including signed artwork never seen before, were sold last night by Cheffins Auctioneers in Cambridge in their Fine Art Sale.
In total, the sale raised over £120,000 (approximately US$230,000), with the ten paintings alone fetching £55,000 (US$107,000).
The sale consisted of items left by Syd in his Cambridge house, which itself recently sold for £300,000. Syd spent his last years living a quiet, yet content, life in the town. Both of his bikes, which he had used every day for visits to the local shops and pub, were hand painted by him and were included in the sale, raising over £10,000.
