I remember being at home with babies, just gripped by stories that I didn't expect to be gripped by. You knew it was going to be compelling and unexpected. 'I feel that we offer a refuge – this little island where you just know whoever is going to be spoken to is going to be treated with respect. And that is something rare, and worth celebrating.'

‘Aussiest thing ever': Old man yells at koala
An 82-year-old man named Terry has become an unlikely viral sensation after he was filmed rescuing a very confused koala from the middle of a busy Queensland road. But it's what he did after the heroic dash that's got the internet in stitches. The roadside drama unfolded northwest of the Gold Coast on Beaudesert-Beenleigh Rd. Traffic came to a standstill as the elderly driver stepped out of his car, and without missing a beat, scooped up the marsupial, and carried it to safety under a nearby gum tree. But it was his cheeky exchange with the koala that really sent viewers into overdrive, as Terry appeared to be scolding the animal like a misbehaving child. @ some one posted this on the local community page and I had to share 🤣 #koalagetstold ♬ original sound - Joe Paints Social media erupted with theories on what the Aussie grandpa was saying to the furry wanderer. 'Don't worry people, he's got his koalafications to handle marsupials. What a legend.' 'The koala looked up like (he was) being scolded from grandpa.' 'Telling him off in a David Attenborough voice.' 'He said 'don't you listen to that bloody chicken … nothing good comes from crossing the road'.' 'The most Australian thing I've seen today.' The mystery has now been solved, Terry revealing what was really said to 7News. 'I was telling him not to scratch because I'm trying to help him,' Terry said. 'And the little mongrel just kept scratching.' Terry assumed the animal was just trying to protect itself. 'If you get hold of the bear quick enough and hold him the right way, they realise – especially when you start moving off the road – that they're getting out of danger.' Despite now being hailed a national treasure, the humble saviour was quick to brush off the praise. 'Well, I didn't know all of that,' Terry said with a laugh. Terry went back to check on the traffic-disrupting koala, now nicknamed Ted, twice in the same day. He is reportedly safe and sound. 'I had to look up and I couldn't see him. All of a sudden he moved – I spotted him,' Terry said. 'Yeah, he knew I was back.' Blokes like Terry are living proof that not all heroes wear capes, some just wear a few battle scratches and have a soft spot for native wildlife.

‘Tough six months': Inside Daniel Ricciardo's me-time era
Daniel Ricciardo's Formula 1 exit came without a farewell lap, but the Aussie fan favourite has re-emerged on home soil in one of his first public appearances since his abrupt mid-2024 split from Red Bull. Addressing an audience of 3000 real estate professionals at Ray White's Connect 2025 event on the Gold Coast, the 257-race veteran poked fun at his new unshaven look. 'I had a fallout with my barber and then I lost my razor. It's been a tough six months,' Ricciardo said. 'I actually FaceTimed my mum last night and she said, 'Oh, so you will get a bit of a cut before tomorrow?' I told her no. Look, she loves me unconditionally, but I think she'd prefer I looked a little cleaner. I'm still hygienic — the beard is just my comfort right now.' Since leaving the grid – he was dropped with six races to go after the Singapore Grand Prix – the 36-year-old has taken his foot off the accelerator, spending much of the past year out of the public eye. 'This year has been a little bit of self-exploration,' the Perth-born star said. 'I've lived this crazy, high-speed life for so long and I just sat into a little bit of stillness. I wasn't always surrounded by a tonne of people giving their opinions and thoughts. 'I've just had a lot of me-time…figuring out who I am other than the race car driver that I was for so long'. Interviewed by sports presenter Mel McLaughlin, he touched on themes relevant to his audience of resilience, backing yourself and recovering from setbacks – delivered in his trademark light-hearted style that's fuelled his popularity since Netflix's Drive to Survive. On his reputation as one of the sport's 'ultimate overtakers', Ricciardo said he would 'rather crash but try' than play it safe. It's quite scary because there's a level of unpredictability – you don't know what the car in front is going to do,' he said. 'Most overtaking comes with risk… but it's the most fun. It's racing – and what's the point of doing it otherwise?' Asked how he moved on from disaster, Ricciardo pointed to Monaco 2016, when he missed out on a win due to a botched pit stop. 'I was leading, I came into the pits and the tyres weren't ready. You go from being on top of the world and all of it crumbles,' he said. 'We are the drivers, but we are not the sport. We're not bigger than the team. People hurt, people feel as much as we feel, and it is their livelihood as well.' On the subject of his signature celebratory shoey – drinking champagne from his race boot – Ricciardo didn't miss a beat when asked what it tastes like. 'Success,' he said. 'If it's chilled, it numbs the taste… one mouthful of champagne and I'm buzzing.' Shock price reveal for insane Aussie property Earlier, Ray White managing director Dan White had opened the conference with a call to uphold the group's core values and 'bring the full depth of its team to every client'. 'We have been recently confronted with some challenging issues where the privilege was disrespected and a decision was made to move on from that relationship,' he said. 'The more transparent we are, the better for our customers… we run toward transparency and want to be proud of every transaction.'
