    'Is anyone else seeing this?': Bunnings item sparks speculation from customers

    I was just telling my husband about this poor outraged woman & he totally agrees with you that Bunnings gun safes are rather flimsy, as well as a lot of others. He relinquished his guns when we moved to the city & my dad was no longer on the farm, so hunting options were harder. This was before...

    'Is anyone else seeing this?': Bunnings item sparks speculation from customers

    What sort of sad person gets enraged over a gun safe? Some people get hysterical over nothing. I noticed such items in Bunnings several years ago.

    ‘The stigma is melting away’: Why Aussies are flocking to this unexpected bookshop

    While this is not the type of bookstore that would interest me good on this young woman for seeing a gap in the market & filling it. I hope that it is a huge success for her.

    Discover which dish has Aussies divided, sparking heated debates over country's favourite food

    A mutton bird is a small to medium sized bird & lives in burrows around the coastline. They return to their burrows at dusk & certainly make a lot of noise. There are a lot of burrows along the NE coast of Tassie as well as the islands. You catch them by putting your hand into the burrows &...

    This common hairstyle could have deadly consequences: How changing your part might save your life

    It’s a real problem darrelhk. Myhusband hasn’t had a melanoma yet but BCC’s have done enough damage. He’s always covered with a sunscreen & a hat and often when gardening wears a thick silk mask that I sewed for him. Most of his damage has been on head, face & hands with more spots to be...

    Outrage spreads as residents storm city hall—could your council plan surprise rate hike?

    I don’t know what happens in our states but Tasmania, with a small population, not even 600,000, has 29 councils. Mention amalgamating & there is an incredible backlash from councillors. We are so over governed down here. There would be riots in the streets if they ever thought of introducing...

    ‘We have been unable to achieve a sale’: Why two popular chains are closing for good

    I used to shop at Millers, Rockmans & Beme a few years ago but the quality & styles changed so they lost a customer and that was about the time I began shopping online. I’m still wearing lovely lightweight trousers that I bought from Millers over 20 years ago. I have purchased some long sleeved...

    The rising cost of living is closing some iconic spots—here’s what’s keeping them alive

    I used to love Launcestons Drive-in & attended regularly. We also went to the “picture theatre” as it was known then, so managed to see all the new releases. I particularly enjoyed the drive in because I didn’t have to get dressed up, we even had our favourite spots to park to avoid dodgy...

    Discover which dish has Aussies divided, sparking heated debates over country's favourite food

    Heaps of mutton birds on Cape Barron Island & Flinders Island but I’m not sure if everyone can go or only indigenous people. They are sold through various outlets in Tassie during their season.

    'Would it be a bad move?': Cafe patrons share 'disgusting' trend across cafes

    Dogs in cafes aren’t a big problem as long as they’re well behaved & the owners don’t expect everyone else to fuss over them. I prefer to enjoy my coffee in peace so would most likely not choose to enter a cafe with dogs everywhere but each to their own. It’s entitled pet owners who think that...

    Latest poll results shock voters: See who's leading in the upcoming election!

    Not a labour person Jest, just a very disillusioned ex Liberal, but thank you for your respectful reply. Let’s celebrate our differences, would be rather boring if we all thought the same.

    Latest poll results shock voters: See who's leading in the upcoming election!

    Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could have a respectful conversation for once, without name calling etc. While Albo has been a little disappointing after Abbott & Morrison I will most likely never vote Liberal ever again and certainly not while Dutton is their leader. As for members who want to see...

    Oh Jenelle Maree, Im definitely with you, sounds amazing. I’m sure a broomstick would be so much easier to park than my car, my car isn’t good at getting into tight spaces. 😂. Of course we’re in dreamland again but it’s brightened up my morning.
