    What’s wrong with this ice cream? One photo has sparked a classic Aussie debate

    Former Australian Army reservist jailed for lighting neighbour on fire

    I agree with you about the lady from Hobart, after all they haven’t found his body. I followed her trial and was surprised when the jury found her guilty. I have always found the death penalty abhorrent, but with so many ghastly crimes happening I’m beginning to change my mind. We have way too...

    Are you breaking this unspoken Aussie rule without even realizing it? Many residents are fed up!

    In Tasmania the original land grants had the boundary in the middle of the river, so the property owners had the right to refuse entry. I don’t know if this right is valid today, but I remember last year in a Hobart suburb, council, I think, wanted to construct a path along the edge of the...

    Shoppers trash store aisles, leave Kmart staff to clean up mess

    I’d be reluctant to clean up in Kmart, but then I don’t go there, if I desperately want something that Kmart has, I’ll order online and have it delivered. I get free delivery with OnePass, and have bought several plastic drawers for my craft room. Ted was very surprised that they were fairly...

    I know opening & closing gates is a nuisance, it’s something we do every time we visit my husband’s older brother. I grew up on a farm so have always known this rule, and still remember my dad complaining about people wanting access to the river for fishing, driving through several paddocks to...

    I’m sure some members of my family were born in a tent!

    Former Australian Army reservist jailed for lighting neighbour on fire

    I will never understand how anyone can set fire to another person. It sounds unbearably cruel. I hope that this particular man rots in jail.

    Are These Australia’s Creepiest Towns? Why Travelers Are Warning You to Stay Away

    My next door neighbour was born, and grew up in Queenstown, Tasmania. She absolutely loves the place and goes back to visit frequently. The vegetation is slowly growing back, though I havent been there for about ten years. My husband was often there, on work trips, but neither of us would have...

    He ruled the track in the ’90s—now he’s fighting the battle of his life

    It is so sad that he survived an amazing F1 career, only to have a skiing accident after retirement. I used to love watching Michael race, and he always handled interviews, and the public so professionally, unlike our current F1 champion.

    Fans flooded social media with reactions to TV show finale after 29 years on air

    I don’t usually watch this show but my son did, so I’m sure he’ll be disappointed.

    Shoppers rave over $5 Kmart find taking winter shelves by storm

    Not for me, it’s just ugly. Bet it’s horrible to drink out of. I’m definitely a Le Creuset mug person.
