  • Python hitches eight-hour ride on family's fuel tank

    Python hitches eight-hour ride on family's fuel tank
    Dec 30 2025
    A coastal carpet python hitched an eight-hour ride from Toowoomba, Queensland to the Central Coast of New South Wales by hiding on top of a family's fuel tank. The Australian Reptile Park's resident wrangler Dylan Wallace safely removed the snake after the family discovered it upon arrival at the park. Coastal carpet pythons are not native to the Central Coast area, and the family likely had their hands near the snake multiple times while refuelling during the journey.

  • The sober shift reshaping Australian celebrations and other hot topcis

    The sober shift reshaping Australian celebrations and other hot topcis
    Dec 30 2025
    Non-alcoholic beverage sales have surged by almost 20% in the last year, with more Australians choosing to reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption, particularly among younger generations. This shift is driven by health consciousness, increased participation in fitness activities like park runs and marathons, and cost of living pressures, with drinks at venues reaching as high as $19.75 for a pint. New Year's Eve 2025 reflects this broader trend, with many Australians opting for earlier, more sober celebrations.
