If Melbourne can have a Lemur Sanctuary (or whatever it’s called now), then it can have a play centre for grown up people. Seriously, this town has become a bastion for everything both weird and wonderful, and I love it, so give me more. Too bad that gigantic moving winter-themed attraction place is currently in …
26I’d never have seen myself operating a shoe factory – not in a million years. Who knew there was a market for vegan leather dress shoes? It does make sense, though. What with the ever-increasing concern for the state of the planet and all, people are taking more interest in reducing carbon expenditure in manufacturing. …
Can anyone just order shatter-proof glass? As in, are there regular residential glaziers on call in Melbourne who’ll just come by, give you a friendly tip-of-the-hat and pop in some shatterproof glass for you, then be on their way whistling and definitely not telling their friends about the weirdo who finally took them up on …
Scientists at a remote research facility in the Pilbara region of Western Australia have created a robotic tradesperson capable of completing dangerous construction work without risk of human intervention. The invention has been called ‘accidental’, as the researchers described the creation of the robot as an act of boredom. “Our job was to create synthetic …

Like, one time I had a pirate party, and she built a ship that took up half the backyard. My little bro had a circus party, and the …
I’m so glad we have the technology was have today. Like, I consider myself extremely fortunate just to have been born here and now, instead of 16th century France when they were just getting the hang of this ‘sewer’ thing, and healthcare was just having enough money to buy meat and fresh vegetables. We can …
It wasn’t a difficult decision for me to make, I had always dreamed of spending a day getting pampered. I guess I never thought I’d get around to it, being so busy with my studies and work. When my father asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I casually mentioned that I had been …
I’m not supposed to be doing much, except celebrating right now. I’m still singing the praise of buyers advocates. Melbourne-side, I’d promised everyone I’d shut up about the property market. You see, two days ago, my partner and I bought our first home, after nearly two years of trying to find the perfect place. We’d …
Wowzers. Week of Our Lives must really be stretching the budget to go and film in the highlands of Scotland.
