Yesterday’s Australia

Australia’s first credit card

Remember when Bankcard arrived in Australia in 1974? Back then, cash was king, from getting paid to settling bills. Bankcard changed the game, making it easier to make payments with a card instead of cash. Fast forward to today, card payments have become the norm! Do you remember getting your first credit card? If you have more memories from the past that you’d like to share, feel free to post on the forum!

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.22 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 $3.22* per day once the rebate has been claimed.

Pelicans keeping their feet warm

We can’t get enough of this picture shared by member @SirExton! Look at the sunrise casting its golden glow on the WWII Ammo Jetty Woodman Point in Coogee Beach, and right in the spotlight are these adorable pelicans, keeping their feet toasty on top of the lights. It’s too cute for words! Thanks, member @SirExton, for sharing this photo with us! Members, do you have photos you'd like to share? We'd love to see them in our Photography forum!
