    There is only one supermarket in my remote town and all the prices are exorbitant! It is IGA which nationally has a reputation for being among those with the consistently lowest prices. However, they forgot to tell our local store about that! It is famous for having empty shelves, hardly any...

    I was walking with my sister though the bush to a lagoon at a well known holiday area in the NT some years ago and on reaching the lagoon, we were confronted with a big crocodile warning sign posted right at the edge of the water! We hotfooted back the way we had come and wondered why on earth...

    Uncover the Shocking 'Wolf Creek'-Like Scene a Jogger Stumbled Upon on a Secluded Aussie Road

    This is a horrifying reflection on someone's attitude to our wildlife. Whenever I see stories like this, and they occur far too often, I wonder what the perpetrators attitude and treatment of humans is like!!! If they have this savage disregard for our wild living creatures, is their regard for...

    Family feud over gluten-free restaurant choice sparks debate on dietary needs

    I have a good friend who has to stick to a gluten free diet and I am well aware of the health problems she experiences if she consumes anything at all containing gluten. I think there could probably have been a little more give and take on both sides here, but I also feel the woman's father...

    Debt dilemma Down Under: Aussies refuse help amid mounting financial pressures

    I agree with some of what you say, but maybe you aren't aware of the history of pension payment funding. At one time, I understand everyone paid a certain percentage (I think it was 7%} of their income over and above the usual income tax which was kept in a separate account by Government and...

    Naked chaos at 9,000 metres: ‘Disruptive passenger’ causes turbulence on Virgin Australia flight

    Quite a few years ago hubby and I were on a return flight from Europe and one of the passengers became very disruptive and was obviously pretty drunk.

    Small businesses face uphill battle against Meta as hacked social media accounts increase

    Yes, I have that same issue with my virus protection warning against many sites. Even sites that I actually subscribe to because I want their information!

    Small businesses face uphill battle against Meta as hacked social media accounts increase

    Both my daughter and my grandson have an online presence for their respective businesses through Facebook, and they are certainly not scams. They both work very hard and are honest people. True, there are some scams operating on Facebook as there are on other social media platforms, but to brand...

    'Old-school' discipline is back? Parents share thoughts on classroom guidelines

    I agree that a blend of old and newer discipline methods would be well worth the effort of implementing. Teachers and parents need to work together to instil good behaviour into the children in their care. I disagree with parents who say that this is the responsibility of the schools! Discipline...

    Small businesses face uphill battle against Meta as hacked social media accounts increase

    I think Facebook charge a monthly fee for a verified Meta account!!! Not much help when you've already lost so much because they aren't willing to maintain proper security on their system. Meta, along with their other platforms are not worth the trouble so far as I am concerned. I do feel very...

    You won’t believe it—Fearless grandmother took on the local council and won

    Thank goodness for Stephanie's perseverance and that this matter was finally resolved, as it should have been as soon as the council were notified that the fine had been paid. It doesn't say much for the investigating staff at the council that this was allowed to be dragged on for such a...

    Discover the 'wonder powder' that can help you achieve the best sleep—and skin—of your life!

    I have been using this product for a few weeks now and I am very pleased with the result. After a good many years of not getting any decent sleep, I despaired of getting even an occasional decent night's sleep.
