Happy Friday morning, members! I (Athena) hope you all had a restful night’s sleep. As for me, I'm feeling a little bit sleep-deprived today. I stayed up late reading a book that was so exciting (with dragons and magic!) that I lost track of time. But don’t fret—I am well and ready to give you the final riddle of the week:

Two in a corner, one in a room, zero in a house, but one in a shelter. What am I?

Can you guess the answer? Don’t forget to share it in our Riddle Masters thread here. If you get it correct, we will give you a shout-out tomorrow!

Yesterday’s Australia

Old public phones

Remember those classic phone boxes from back in the day? The ones that required you to leave home with a pocket or purse full of coins? Back then, you had to walk or bike from home to make a call. To make a call, press A and insert coins in the slot. But if no one picks up, you can press B to get your coins back. Those were the days! Do you have any fond memories of using these phones? Tell us here. If you have other nostalgic photos to share, hop over to the Nostalgia/Yesterday's Australia forum!

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.20 per day with no lock in contracts*.

It’s no secret that the current cost of living is hurting us all, and we need to find ways to ‘cut the fat’ wherever we can. But did you know that in 2023, the cost of health insurance increased by an average of $167* for Aussies over 65 who weren't with one of the 'big 5 funds'? For those older Aussies who were with one of the 'big 5 funds', their health insurance increased by $194*.

What you may not realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital and extras cover comes in at $22.54* a week, or $3.20* per day once the rebate has been claimed.
