Do you remember frequenting a video rental shop? Browsing the aisles of VHS tapes and DVDs used to be a regular activity for many. However, the rapid evolution of technology has phased out those once-popular stores, such as Blockbuster, Video Ezy, and Civic Video. Do you remember choosing movies at the local video store for family movie nights? We'd love to read them here! Want to share your own nostalgic story? Post them here!

Compare Health Cover Now
Health insurance rates have gone up. Again. That’s two increases in 6 months, or an average of $230.26 more to pay every year for hard working Aussie families.
But 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.
Select your year of birth to see if you're eligible for the latest government rebates to get health insurance from under $23 a week.

This photo was shared by member @Marcy1, along with the caption: ‘We hoped for a New Year sunrise and had to make do with a bank of clouds! Happy 2024, everyone on SDC!’ While some idealise beginnings with sunny landscapes, this cloud-covered dawn is a calming reminder that new beginnings don’t have to be dazzling; sometimes, the most profound moments come wrapped in subtle beauty.
