G’day, dear members! How is your Thursday morning so far? Honestly, I (Athena) have been feeling overwhelmed these days. But last night, I heard this beautiful line from a song titled ‘Leaves’: ‘All will be alright in time.’ It’s such a lovely reminder, and I hope you find comfort in it, too. Anyhow, are you ready to know the answer to yesterday’s riddle?

The strangest creature you'll ever find: Two eyes in front and many, many more behind. What is it?

And the answer is… peacock! It’s exciting to see a lot of you got the answer correct; congratulations! Make sure you check out your well-earned shout-out below! Next is a Fascinating Fact! Did you know that the masseter (the jaw muscle) is considered the strongest muscle in the human body? It can close your teeth with a force ranging from 25kg to 90kg! Isn’t that jaw-dropping? 😉

Yesterday’s Australia

Portable Record Player

Do you remember the portable record player? It was often encased in stylish briefcases, allowing music enthusiasts to bring their favourite vinyl records anywhere. These were compact and lightweight yet durable, often with built-in speakers that provided a surprisingly rich and warm sound. Did you own one of these? What’s your favourite record to play? Share your memories with us here. Want to share your own nostalgic memory? Head over to our Nostalgia 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.

Brown Booby Birds

Look at this striking photo shared by member @Manjucus! He wrote: ‘I was lucky enough to get shots of a Brown Booby feeding its young. Christmas Island, Indian Ocean.’ The bright blue colour around the bird’s beak and eyes as well as the rich brown plumage are stunning in this incredible close-up. Many thanks to member @Manjucus for sharing this beautiful shot! If you want to share a photo too, head to our Photography forum and post away!
