Rise and shine, members! It’s another beautiful Thursday! Can you believe it's already the last day of August? It's as if it has flown by in the blink of an eye. As we say goodbye to this month, we also bid farewell to our SDC Cooks competition. Today is your last chance to share your treasured recipes, complete with ingredients and techniques, and you might snag a $100 voucher from Coles, Woolworths, or IGA. Now, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle:

Only one colour, but not one size. Stuck at the bottom, yet I easily fly. Present in the sun, but not in rain. Doing no harm and feeling no pain. What am I?

And the answer is a shadow! As expected, a lot of you nailed it. So, if you’re one of them, we've got a shout-out waiting for you at the end of this newsletter.

Now, it’s time for a Fascinating Fact! Did you know that ‘Elm Farm Ollie’ became the first cow to travel by aeroplane and be milked during a flight? She produced nearly 23 litres of milk, which was then sealed into containers and parachuted to spectators as a stunt.

Oh, and let’s give a big warm welcome to our newest SDC Rewards members: RCordin, Adonis, Babster & janj! You can now expect fewer ads, priority updates, weekly rewards, exclusive content, and more! Also, have you entered our latest exclusive competition yet?

Yesterday’s Australia

Crackers and bonfires

Member @RFG whisked us back to the exciting Cracker Night! ‘Every year, we looked forward to Cracker Night in June. We would build the biggest bonfire in the street and just about everyone in the neighbourhood attended. The next day, we would hunt for crackers in the park that may not have gone off.’ Who here looked forward to Cracker Night and saved their pocket money to buy these fireworks? Tell us here. If you have other memories you’d like to share, post them on our Nostalgia forum!

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.
