Yesterday’s Australia

School games

Who here remembers the games you played at school? Member @Jenelle Maree does, and she said she recalled playing hopscotch, playing with the skipping rope, elastics, oranges & lemons back then. She even shared a sweet memory: 'I remember high school, sitting around chatting, I was too shy to chat. No computers, no mobile phones.' So, members, do you feel the same? Which games do you remember playing? If this stroll down memory lane has you feeling extra sentimental, don't hesitate to share more of your memories on 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.

Balloons over Melbourne at sunrise

Thank you, member @wicketoby123, for sharing this photo! Now, we're curious about the view from above the city, looking out over everything. Members, do you have heart-warming shots like this?
