    Cricket and Australia Day used to go hand in hand—so why are matches disappearing now?

    As I have said many times, what happened to the indigenous people was awful and should never be forgotten. You can’t change history but you can change the future. We should be focusing on that and Australia Day is for ALL Australians to celebrate how far we have come and how proud we are about...

    NSW man in hospital with state's first confirmed case of Australian bat lyssavirus

    Yeah but why would it have anything to do with the Covid vaccine? Shouldn’t that actually have protected hm if that’s the case 🤷🏻‍♀️

    NSW man in hospital with state's first confirmed case of Australian bat lyssavirus

    My son was a volunteer for wild life rescue for a while and he had all his vaccinations so he could work with bats. Many get caught in nets used to protect fruit. People don’t realise the danger of trying to release them if you don’t have the protection of the vaccine. One time he had been out...

    Feeling exhausted every afternoon? Here’s what your nap says about your long-term health

    I have a little snooze in the chair most days. Sometimes it can be that I’ve only been up for an hour or two, other times, late afternoon. I’m retired, I can do that lol. I have to say I sleep well every night, nap or not. I actually am known for being able to sleep any time, any where. I even...

    Channel Seven ends broadcast in several areas after deal collapses

    I use Foxtel Go to watch free to air TV. Last night I could not get it to work, thank goodness for the smart TV. But for some reason I could only get the Sydney channel ten news. No big deal. I put the Foxtel Go on this evening and it’s working perfectly. I stream the radio through my speaker...

    Health officials issue measles warning after visits to public places

    I was always led to believe I hadn’t had measles, even though my sister had it and Mum made sure I was in close contact with her. I know I was never immunised for measles. To protect my grandkids I had a blood test to see if I needed vaccinating and it came up that I had immunity. So maybe I did...

    Could your favorite online store disappear next? Why Woolies abandons online shop after just 3 years

    I’ve bought the odd thing from My Deal but I can’t say I’ll miss it. Funny thing but, I bought some items from OZ Sale a couple of weeks ago and it came up on the My Post app as a delivery from My Deal. So I don’t know if the two companies are linked somehow.

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

    This wouldn’t actually be a mini sized Magnum would it. It looks like it could be, or the guy has big hands lol.

    Pigeon killer fined $48k, one of WA's largest animal cruelty fines

    Me too, I’m terrified of birds but I would never intentionally hurt one. It broke my heart to hear of the suffering this bird went through

    Still driving as a senior? Here’s a hidden danger you might not know about

    I have trouble driving at night. I will drive locally as it’s a straight, well lit road and I’m confident driving it. But I won’t drive our local country roads after dark. I’m not confident that I won’t hit an animal or go off the road in the darkness. Now i have read this I will be booking an...

    I like Geelong and I can understand why people are moving there. But we have found the perfect place for us with East Gippsland. Loving it here

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

    It’s not hard to put something back where you got it from. I quite often pick up stock from the floor and hang it back up but I think that pile in the photo I might have walked past, but there again just can’t help myself lol

    Pet owners turn to veterinary telemedicine services for non-emergencies

    That’s a great idea. Sometimes you just need reassurance that it’s nothing serious. We have a vet that comes to us and because she has no overheads ie rent and power bills she is so much cheaper than taking our fur babies to a surgery. Plus the animals are so much more relaxed being treated in...

    Copperart
