Top 5 backyard additions that add value to your family home
This is branded content. For many Australian families, a backyard is an extension of the home. A place for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories. It's where birthday parties are held, summer dinners are shared, and kids run free after school. That's why outdoor spaces are such a big deal for potential buyers. When people are house-hunting, they're not just looking at the number of bedrooms, they are imagining how the outdoor area will work for their family. A functional, well-designed backyard can add significant appeal and value to your property and with a few clever upgrades, you can transform your outdoor space into a real asset. These five backyard upgrades don't just add value to your home, they also make your outdoor space more practical and enjoyable every day. A well-designed outdoor entertaining space is at the top of many homebuyers' wish lists especially here in Australia where outdoor living is a way of life. Adding a timber deck or paved patio makes your home feel more spacious & provides a base for furniture, a BBQ, or even an outdoor kitchen. Homes with inviting outdoor spaces typically sell faster and attract higher offers, particularly in family-oriented suburbs. When planning, choose materials that complement the style of your home and can withstand the Aussie climate. A hardwood deck, for example, not only looks great but also stands the test of time when maintained properly. In many parts of Australia, the climate can be unforgiving especially during the summer. That's why adding shade & protection from the rain isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a necessity. A wooden gazebo offers welcome protection from the elements, giving your family and guests a place to gather, relax, or fire up the BBQ in comfort. Compared to building a full patio with a roof extension, gazebos are far more cost-effective and much quicker to install. They strike the perfect balance between function and flexibility, all while adding a touch of style to your backyard. Compared to metal or plastic structures, wooden gazebos tend to blend more naturally with garden landscaping, and can even boost perceived property value thanks to their premium appearance. Plus, they're incredibly versatile. Use one as a shaded dining area, an outdoor yoga space, or even a place for the kids to play out of the sun. You don't need to go full "Better Homes and Gardens", but a tidy, cohesive garden layout goes a long way. Smart landscaping makes your backyard feel bigger, more usable, and easier to maintain which are all key factors that buyers look for. Simple ideas that add impact: Properties with attractive, low-maintenance landscaping can fetch up to 20 per cent more at sale than those with unkempt or unusable yards. It might not sound glamorous, but storage is one of the most overlooked (yet valued) additions to any home. Garden sheds, built-in bench storage, or even discrete shelving can keep outdoor clutter under control. For families, especially, having a place to store bikes, tools, sports gear, or gardening bits helps make the rest of the backyard feel more relaxing and less chaotic. If adding a shed, look for one that complements the home's exterior and complies with local council guidelines. A well-integrated storage solution can make your property feel more liveable and that's gold when it comes time to sell. If your home is in a family-friendly suburb (like many in the Cessnock area), adding child-friendly features to your garden can be a major drawcard. Think swing sets, sandpits, cubby houses, or natural play zones. These don't have to dominate the yard and can often be placed in a corner where kids can dig, climb, and play safely. There's growing recognition of the benefits of outdoor play, not just for physical health but for mental wellbeing too. A study by Nature Play WA found that children who engage in unstructured outdoor play show increased confidence, social skills, and resilience. Not only do these features support your own family's lifestyle but they also help other young families visualise the space as a home. Improving your backyard doesn't just add value to your home, it adds value to your daily life. Whether it's a peaceful spot under a gazebo, a thriving veggie patch, or somewhere for the kids to run wild, the right features make your home more functional, more enjoyable, and more appealing to future buyers. And the good news is that many of these upgrades don't require a massive budget. With a bit of planning, some elbow grease, and a few smart choices that work for your space you really can add significant value to your property with some simple backyard upgrades.

These are the best-selling shorts every Aussie bloke is wearing, even in winter
For decades, shorts have been the wardrobe afterthought. A last-minute grab from the drawer while the real energy went into selecting the shirt, grooming the hair and deciding whether the sneakers were 'cool enough'. But one Aussie brand is turning that logic on its head, and the results are catching on fast. That's where Frankster comes in, the new go-to for guys who wear shorts like a second skin. For just $89.95, you can score a pair of 'The Everydays' shorts to wear every day. Created by former Adidas and 2XU heavyweight Niels Hoeben, Frankster has hit a nerve with Australian men by solving a problem most didn't even realise they had. Because while there's no shortage of boardshorts, gym shorts or golf shorts in the men's fashion space, none of them really tick every box. Especially not for the bloke who wants to wear the same shorts from brunch to beers to the beach without a second thought. Frankster was made for that guy. The brand launched earlier this year, but thanks to word of mouth and thousands of glowing five-star reviews, it's fast becoming one of the most talked-about men's fashion brands in the country. Designed for men who wear shorts year-round Whether it's the dead of winter or the height of summer, every friendship group has that mate who rocks up in shorts. Rain, shine or sideways hail, his knees are out. And chances are, he's now wearing Frankster. The appeal is obvious. These shorts are flattering on all body types, thanks to a carefully engineered blend of 98 per cent cotton and two per cent spandex. That means they move with you, breathe like activewear and look polished enough to wear to dinner. They're tailored just enough to feel elevated, but not so fitted that you need a six-pack to pull them off. And they land in that sweet spot between casual and smart, so you can throw them on with a T-shirt or a button-down without feeling over or underdressed. And even though it's winter, now's actually the perfect time to snap up a pair (or two). These shorts layer well with hoodies, vests and jumpers, and they're selling fast ahead of spring and summer. If you want first dibs on the most popular sizes and colours, it's worth adding to the cart before the warm weather rush. More than just a great fit Frankster's popularity isn't just down to comfort and cut. The brand stands for something more. Ten per cent of profits are donated to Movember, the Aussie-founded global charity tackling men's mental health, suicide prevention and prostate cancer. Plus, Frankster shorts are made using certified sustainable cotton, so every pair is produced ethically and with care for the environment, something more men are starting to pay attention to when they shop. From quiet launch to fan favourite In just a few short months, Frankster has gone from start-up to fan favourite. The original shorts line continues to fly off the shelves, while new colour drops are selling out faster than expected. September brought four new shades into the mix, and a brand new sports shorts range is dropping in October, designed for everything from Sunday footy to smashing out a gym session. It's clear that Frankster isn't trying to make shorts for every type of man. It's making the right shorts for the men who live in them.

Matildas star Ellie Carpenter marries Danielle van de Donk in magical French wedding
Matildas star Ellie Carpenter and fellow footballer Danielle van de Donk have tied the knot in a picturesque wedding. The pair shared two photos from the magical day, with the ceremony believed to be held at a château in France over the weekend. Carpenter, 25, was granted personal leave from the past Matildas window to prepare for the wedding. 'I choose you, I will always choose you,' Carpenter wrote alongside the two images. Both brides were traditional white dresses with Carpenter having a lengthy vail. The post was flooded with likes and comments from friends, family and Matildas teammates. 'Holy smokes you two are absolutely stunning. Best day ever. Love you both so much,' Emily Gielnik wrote. 'Stunning!!! What a day,' Steph Catley wrote. 'The most beautiful brides,' Teagan Micah added. 'Beautiful brides, beautiful day,' Hayley Raso said. 'omg stunning girl,' Amy Sayer wrote. Carpenter and van de Donk met while playing for French side Olympique Lyonnais. The Aussie gun joined the club in 2020 with the Dutch midfielder joining the following the year. They began a couple in 2022 before announcing their engagement early last year.
