Iconic Glebe pub transformed to make Sydney thirsty for reopening

Having spent the past three months closed due to the Sydney lockdown, The Glebe Hotel Owner, Zelman Nissen, with the help of Furphy, has set up his beloved local venue to look like the night at the pub we have all been missing – at full capacity, with the sound of classic anthems and punters chatting, along with vision of human figures dancing, drinking and having a good time through the windows.

How to ask friends and family if they’re vaccinated

Vaccination can feel like a loaded topic, something you might not want to discuss if you can avoid it. But it doesn’t have to be a minefield. We can actually take some tips about approaching tricky personal topics from the field of sexual health.
First, try to talk about vaccination before you’ve confirmed plans with someone, and before you’ve communicated the plans to others. Once you’re already at the picnic, the stakes are much higher.

But even as we’ve thought more and more about surfaces and the hands that touch them as vectors for disease, mobile phones have largely escaped scrutiny. We carry them everywhere (including the toilet) but they’re rarely cleaned or sanitised, and we touch them with our hands many, many times per day.

The Outback loses a true-blue character

The outback is farewelling one of its ‘true blue’ characters with the passing of legendary camel man Mick James. Those who knew him would agree that Mick James packed a lot into those 73 years. Mick was renowned across the bush for his larger-than-life exploits – many of them centred around his beloved Canbelego Pub, east of Cobar.  Desite the pub’s remote location, Mick attracted enough attention to put it on the map
