    After two decades in silence, the ‘Sleeping Prince’ has said his last goodbye

    I can't imagine what those 20 years were like for the family. My hubby was in a coma for 10 days. I was there every moment I could and sat there waiting, praying, watching every movement or blink, hoping for a positive move forward whilst trusting in the medical care. The only time I was not by...

    There’s something brown in one of our most famous rivers—and it’s definitely not mud

    You can bet your bum there would be no politicians with poo pumping out near his/her front yard. Remember everyone, don't go swimming without a mask, goggles, nose plugs, ear plugs, bottom area plugs, and plugs for everything else that water can get into. In other words, don't go swimming.

    When i heard him call...SHARON!!!!! on his true life show, it sealed the deal for me. Not only was he a great muso, he was one if the original whack a doodles to grace stage and screen.

    Some people just cannot face a situation like this. I cared for my darling 20+ years and considered it a privilege. I also know for certain if the situations were reversed, he would have done the same for me. We were together, side by side, for all of our 45 years. I cherished every moment...

    Car Dilemma: Can this tiny gadget add a layer of security for older Aussie drivers?

    I have had dash cams, front and back, fitted for the current car and the 2 preceding that. One caught the other driver out who insisted it was our fault ... dash cam showed otherwise. Another caught a reverse park nudge out the front of a shop I was in. I reported it to police because there was...

    Fatal Victorian crash that saw 91yo driver hit three pedestrians puts focus on elderly driver rules

    I dont know how i would feel if I could not drive when i need to. It's easy to say off with their heads when something happens, but, for many there may not be an alternative. If the public transport is crap and taxis worrisome, and, there is nobody to help, what is the choice? I see news reports...

    A heartfelt gesture or boundary crossed? One wedding gift reignited an unresolved family divide.
