Good morning and a cheerful Monday to all of you! As we gather here at the start of a brand new week, we also find ourselves preparing to bid farewell to June. Can you believe how swiftly the month has flown by? We've shared heart-warming stories, engaged in fruitful discussions, and played fun games. Each interaction has reminded us of the vibrant spirit that resides within our esteemed members.

As we greet the last Monday of June, let’s embrace the opportunity to make the most of this fresh week ahead. It's a chance to continue building upon the fantastic momentum we've established together. Whether it’s exploring new discounts, offering friendly advice, or simply brightening someone's day with a kind comment. That said, you know what’s coming—our first riddle of the week! Here it is:

I am fleeting, yet constant, forever in rhyme. I measure your moments, yet can't be confined. What am I?

Fleeting and constant? Contrary is what you are… Kidding! I’m sure you lot will manage to figure this one out like you always do. Post your answers here! If you get this one correct, you’ll be included in the list of riddle masters in tomorrow’s newsletter. Happy riddle-ing, folks!

Now, let’s dive into the latest happenings in Australia and around the world today:

Kmart is stealing the spotlight today! A best-selling $39 buy is making a comeback—and stock is flying out of stores like crazy! Don’t miss it, folks!
There’s a chook-tastic hot roast face-off between Coles and Woolworths, and there can only be one victor. Did your favourite win?
A ‘bizarre’ rumour about 80-year-old entertainment icon Molly Meldrum has surfaced, and it’s all got to do with a mystery woman and upsetting Elton John. What on Earth…
The internet is absolutely loving a Kmart shopper’s viral tea towel trick, which could spare you a nasty burn or two… Have you tried this before?
A frustrated Aussie spent 52 hours on the phone with Telstra to fix her 97-year-old mum’s crisis. Hers is just one out of many similar experiences. What can be done to change this?
Pet owners, beware! A single mum moved interstate with her beloved companion after a failed relationship, and two years later came a whopping $348 fine. It turns out she forgot to…
One challenge with winter is drying clothes in the persistent chill. Enter this ingenious Kmart-inspired workaround that takes the hassle out of laundry day!
Pre-made meals are an occasional lifesaver for when things get really hectic, but it seems things are busy on Woolies’ end, too, after an amused customer spotted a funny detail in her purchase…

He was a proper bloke in the truest sense: a RAAF fighter pilot who served in WWII and was one of the ASIO’s first post-war agents. He then betrayed us all in a twist that has rocked Australia to its core.
We know you love a good puzzle, but can you crack this one that’s stumped people around the world? ‘Find the following words…’

Isn’t soup just the best for those days when you’re feeling sick? Not for this bloke in member @phantomrose101’s funny joke!

Yesterday’s Australia

Winter Chinwag

This slice of nostalgia was taken at Perisher Valley, NSW, in 1959. I don’t know about you, but these blokes were pretty laid back for a valley that promises lots of perishing… Kidding! Really, it’s evidence of the place winter has in the collective Australian experience. How about you? What are your favourite winter activities? Tell us in the forum! If you have similar photographs and memories, feel free to post them 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.

A scene from my early childhood

Would you look at this stunner sent in by member @Algieboy? Lucky for him, he spent his early childhood looking at this view! ‘(It’s) where the Tahakopa river meets the sea (at) my grandparents' farm up on the hills (in) Southern New Zealand,’ they said. Thanks for sharing, member @Algieboy! If you're feeling inspired to share your snaps, too, our Photography forum is the place to post.
