Rise and shine, members! What a fine Thursday it is! I (Vella) hope you’re starting your day off just right. Who's had their morning walk today? Or perhaps lounged in bed a little longer than usual? Both sound magnificent. Now, let's get to the answer to yesterday's riddle:

What type of dress can never be worn?

And the answer is ‘address’! A sneaky one, isn't it? But a lot of you got it correct! Bravo! As per tradition, you’ll find a shout-out waiting for you at the end of the newsletter. Up next, we have a Fascinating Fact! Did you know that the heart of a blue whale is so big a human could swim through the arteries? That's right! The heart of a blue whale, the largest animal on the planet, weighs roughly 181 kilogrammes (630 times heavier than a human heart) and is the size of a small car.

Yesterday’s Australia

Old Gestetner Machine

Image Source: Facebook/Australia Remember When

Who remembers those old Gestetner machines? They were like the workhorses of offices and schools, making copies of newsletters, flyers, and other important documents. Now, they're but a distant memory, replaced by sleek computers and high-speed photocopiers. It's remarkable to think how far we've come since the days of the trusty Gestetner. Do you have fond memories of using these machines? 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.
