    Cutting it close: Doctor's mid-flight mishap raises security concerns and delays!

    How the x-ray did not pick this up would be interesting. Unknowingly I had left a small pocket knife in a small bag in my carry on and this was picked up by the x-ray. I had the choice to surrender it or put it in a self addressed envelope and post it home. I took the latter course as it had...

    I received it with no problem and I live out where it grows. It is a magnificent sight.

    ABC presenter Tony Armstrong faces backlash over controversial side job amid integrity concerns

    There is a part of James first paragraph that has been left out. Please add "and are smartly dismissed". The ABC lost, "integrity, impartiality, and public trust" many years ago. Please get up to date, James.

    This simple parking mistake cost a driver $283: ‘That’s kind of dangerous’

    As a user of a mobility scooter, I can assure you these people who park on or across a driveway are a pain, also those who have lovely hedges but do not trim them clear of the footpath. Please folks, give us a clear footpath.

    Some not so hidden treasures along the NSW coastline.

    My only association with Hat Head was many years ago sailing back from New Caledonia. We had 30knots on the nose for seven days, there was almost more water in the boat than not. We came across Hat head and spent the night in the lee of it just to have a reasonable nights sleep.

    Seniors commandments. Probably an old one but worth repeating.

    I keep getting told to grow up. Well, at 88 I am as tall as I will ever be, and I think my second childhood is arriving.

    Another Royal member takes charge of WWII commemorations as King Charles recovers from treatment

    Princess Anne is a credit to herself and her family. I am sure she realises she has a privileged place in the world and does her very best to repay that privilege. There are a few other Royals, both young and old who could use a leaf from her book.

    Transform your meals with 'restaurant quality' burgers now at Woolworths!

    As an old fellow who lives alone(+2 dogs) I have found McCains PUB MEALS brilliant. There is a good variety with great flavour. I could not buy and prepare a meal for myself at the price. Don't fiddle with it, McCains.

    Are you making the same costly mistake as this young Aussie? Avoid a $500 fine!

    If those are the photos the Police are relying on, take it to court as there is no sign of a Red arrow in either of those photos. You can defend yourself in court, just produce those to photos.

    This possible road rule overhaul may force you to change your driving habits ASAP!

    In a country this size reducing speed limits is not the answer. That only causes much frustration for drivers. Upgrade the licence test so that people are competent when they get their licence. The licence test has barely changed since I gave up teaching over 40 years ago and it wasn't great...
