1. Lift Off was based on the ideas of a Harvard University psychologist, with the show being specifically designed for the toddler mind.

2. On Neighbours only six houses are ever seen on screen in Ramsay Street – Numbers 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32.

3. Neighbours originally premiered on Channel Seven, but was a flop and cancelled after a few months. Then Channel Ten bought it and turned it into the show we love today.

4. The pilot episode of Home And Away was a 90 minute film.

5. Cheez TV was the first television show in Australia to have an internet address.

Okay, the title may "shock" some people but I will explain the whole thing...

Hello, I am Krystal, 18, and I live in Adelaide, South Australia. I've been to Queensland in 99/00 (forgot), Sydney in 01/02 (forgot), and Melbourne in 04. I recently went to Sydney again to go see the wrestling. You see on TV and everything they say how beautiful Sydney is and it's like the heart of Australia...I saw differently though. Here are a few things.

My first day there I got sick, terrible headache that shot my head and a very sore tummy. I had been walking around the streets looking at shops. So many...

Looking for the newest Aussie actress to watch-out for? Well, I think I’ve found her.

Opening at The Ensemble Theatre in Sydney on September 19th, you can catch actress Jennifer Corren starring in the new comedy “Camp.” For anyone who has ever gone camping, you’ll be able to relate to playwright Gary Baxter’s newest tale which chronicles three couples, a tribe of children, one black snake, and an esky full of beer.

Like many vacations, “Camp” starts out with the best of intensions but quickly deteriorates into a series of unpredictable encounters. Battling the elements, Jennifer...

I fell in love in a Macca's parking lot
Sat on the curb eating vegemite sangas and pavlova
We talked about the Emu war and how it's too darn hot (whoa oh oh oh)

I told my mum that i'm gonna go swimming
And I'll need three litres of sunscreen to keep me safe
But if it's jellyfish season then i'll need to stay inside (whoa oh oh oh)

I'm always 'slip slop slapping' (yeah,yeah)
I'm always up for a barbie' (yeah,yeah)
No I don't listen to abbott (yeah,yeah)
And I'll never like julia either

I am Australian girl
wishing, praying it'll be colder
I'm wearing shorts, singlets and thongs
Sweating, crying, all australian...

UPDATE 5.20pm: EVACUATIONS are under way in a dozen central and southern Queensland towns with floodwaters forcing more than 1000 Queenslanders from their homes.

Queensland's acting premier Paul Lucas said the damage bill from the state's devastating floods is likely to exceed a billion dollars.

Mr Lucas and Emergency Services Minister Neil Roverts today visited isolated Chinchilla in central Queensland and conducted an aerial inspection of the flood-ravaged Dalby and Warwick areas in the southwest.

Chinchilla, Dalby and Theodore have been declared disaster areas and other towns have been hard...

So recently, a fellow fanpopper Snerkie posted a soapbox article entitled “Sydney = Overrated”. If you haven’t read that article, you may have to in order to get what I’m saying. To start, My name is Ali, I’m 17 and I live in Sydney.

Second, I want to pick a little bone with Snerkie.
You say Sydney is Un-Australian. Um... isn't that is what is so great about Australia? That that we are so MULTICULTURAL. Now you say you are not racist, but seriously, everyone has a right to live in Australia (given they're not terrorists, murderers or dangerous) and that fact that you put Un-Australian...

The Australian Property Market

When it comes to nations in the world that are experiencing a thriving real estate market, Australia is towards the top of the list. Indeed, over the course of the past decade, the real estate market in many locations around Australia has been booming.

Major Australian cities naturally are experiencing the biggest growth in their real estate markets. Cities like Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne are leading the way in the real estate arena. In addition, a great number of more rural areas in the country are experiencing a surprising growth in their own real estate markets....

I woke up this evening around eight o'clock -feeling tired and irritated. Due to the extensive heatwave that has swept through most of the country this weekend, I had been unable to sleep for nearly two days. I live in the outer suburbs of Sydney (away from the coastline) and the temperatures reached as high as 46 degrees celcius today. I'm a person that prefers the summertime to winter as I tolerate the heat much better than the cold but these high temperatures were just too much to deal with.
I turned on the radio and the first news item was about the out-of-control bushfires in the state...

THIS IS VERY URGENT AND NOT A JOKE! ALSO DON'T GOOF OFF!!!!

I really mean it! What would you be able to do if SOPA/TPP censors the internet? What would you be able to do if writing fanfics and drawing fanarts become illegal? What would you do if it's illegal to do a cover of your favorite song on YouTube? What would you do if downloading things from the internet (music, movies, TV episodes, etc) became illegal? What would you do if SOPA/TPP wins the war and takes away internet freedom? Net Neutrality is already dead so far, we can't risk the freedom of internet...
