Who remembers travelling on a train in the 1950s? Those were the days when every journey seemed like an elegant adventure. Back in the day, train compartments were adorned with rich wood panelling, and if you ever found yourself parched during the ride, you could reach for those cardboard cups filled with refreshingly ice-cold water. Do you have fond memories of riding the train in the 1950s? Tell us here. If you have similar photos and memories to share, head to our forum and post away.

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.
