Today saw one of the biggest sporting events in this county, if not the biggest…the AFL Grand Final! It is a day when thousands of people jam into the Melbourne Cricket Ground…the famous mecca of sports grounds…to watch the two best teams fight it out to be the 2015 AFL Premiers. My husband went for […]
For the first time ever, the day before one of the biggest sporting events of the year has been made a public holiday, giving us Victorians a lovely long weekend. There has been a lot of fuss about this new public holiday, especially from small businesses who are doing it tough enough as it is. […]

Mixed Up Everything is a band consisting of four brothers, aged 16, 14, 13 and 11…but don’t be deceived […]

I can still remember chills when going into […]
