Oh hey there members, didn’t see you there? Seems that we’re still waking up on this fine Tuesday morning 😉 Need something to shake off that early morning grogginess?

The shower is probably the most challenging area of the bathroom to clean and maintain. After scrubbing with all your might, it doesn't take long for the shower screen to start looking murky again, with hard water stains and other grime buildup.

All you need is one product found on the shelves of one of our favourite DIY stores: Bunnings.

Compare Health Cover Now*
Three health insurance rate rises in the space of 18 months are what Aussies are being slapped with after a two year long global pandemic. Aussies were paying an average of $230.26 more for their health insurance after the 2021 price hikes. And now from 1 April 2022, a single person over the age of 65 will pay an additional average of about $75* more per year, with families paying an additional average of about $154* more per year.
What few people 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 & extras policy comes in at under $23 / week (or $3.22 per day) once the rebate has been claimed.
See if you're eligible for the latest government rebates to get health insurance from under $23 a week.

Crimson Rosella
Today’s picture is thanks to member @Algieboy. It’s a photo of Crimson Rosella, a parrot native to eastern and south-eastern Australia. Rosellas are a sought after pet because of their eye-catching beauty. This particular colour of rosella is genetically more distinct.
How amazing is this photo? Birds are truly marvellous creatures, aren’t they? Thanks for posting this one, @Algieboy!
