Yesterday’s Australia

Mastercraft Butterscotch

Today’s blast from the past is something of a mystery. Member @Loraine9 recently shared: ‘Does anyone remember the Mastercraft Butterscotch, wrapped in silver paper, with the box featuring a cow? The ears were the capital “M” and the body spelt the rest of the brand name… I have enquired at lolly shops, but no one seems to remember them.’ On my end, all I could trace was this old newspaper ad. How about you? Do you remember Mastercraft’s Butterscotch? Tell us here and help member @Loraine9 out! And if you have similar memories, post on our 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.

Lilac harvest

Member @featherfour has shared yet another stunning shot—and a lovely story with it! ‘I've read that the best way to prune your lilac bush is by picking the flowers,’ they began. ‘Gorkel and Flossie came to admire the flowers. Gorkel picked some, and I thought he was going to give them to Flossie as a gift, but he just ate them... Not quite the chivalrous move I was expecting.’ Why, Mr Gorkel—where are your manners? A big thank you to member @featherfour for this wonderful photo! If you want to share a photo too, head to our Photography forum and post away!
