Ocean Alley return with their fifth album, Love Balloon
Ocean Alley are finally locking in their return with their fifth studio album, Love Balloon . It sure feels like it's been an age since we've heard from the Northern Beaches six piece beyond the odd track, so it's exciting to know that their next big project sits just on the other side of winter. Love Balloon will be with us on September 19. We've had our first taste of the new Ocean Alley record with 'Tangerine' and 'Left Of The Dealer' (their first releases since 2022's Low Altitude Living ), and now we have another morsel through the album's title track, 'Love Balloon'. This new one sees the band expanding on their infectious grooves with bright, soulful and deliriously loved-up lyricism. Watch this one get immediately added to wedding playlists right across the board. With their fifth album, Ocean Alley set out to explore all facets of love beyond what we project to the public – they're going warts and all. "Not just the cinematic kind where you're falling head over heels," keyboardist and vocalist Lach Galbraith said. "The full spectrum; joy, hurt, discomfort and disappointment. Let's call it the river of love – whether it's with a partner, a friend, or family, you'll never know when it'll get deep, go shallow, or suddenly change course. "It's such a force that you have to just surrender to its current." Ocean Alley are heading off to chase the sun on a North American tour in July and returning again in October, with a couple of cheeky shows in Europe and the UK around the time the album drops. But we bet the call of the Australian summer will lure them back home soon enough.

Farmhand Ellie Morris's camera captures rural Australian stories
On a farm in Western Australia's remote north-eastern Wheatbelt, Ellie Morris sits in a tractor with her dog Marley on her knee and a camera at her feet. While the 24-year-old's main source of income is from her work as a farmhand in Perenjori, 341 kilometres north-east of Perth, her passion is capturing the world around her with her camera. Having received her first camera as a gift for her sixth birthday, Ms Morris has built up plenty of experience. "Basically, while I'm driving tractors, I'm flying drones and taking photos of what I'm doing," she said. "I'm a pretty visual person, and I'm not great with words. I don't always have a lot to say. So with my photos, I can say a lot more." Though Ms Morris has not had formal photography training, the amount of time she has spent on the farm with her camera has helped her strengthen her creative muscle. She believes her photos carry a simple message. "Showing people who don't live here what it's like — it's not always beautiful. There are two sides to it, and I capture that." Having amassed a following of more than 11,000 people on social media has led to offers of paid work. Comments from followers praise Ms Morris's ability to make something typically unglamorous, like dust, look like art. Sheep yards, storm clouds, crops, horses, and her Jack Russell, Marley, are some of Ms Morris's favourite things to photograph. She points to Marley and laughs. "When I bought her, I was told she was half border collie," she said. Marley, dusty sheep flocks, and storm cloud photos have drawn an international following, garnering a strong following from American horse and cattle ranchers. The balance between farming and photography is a simple one for Ms Morris. The camera stays on her at all times. "People don't realise how much time you spend on your computer for photography," she said. "That can get really boring. I do some of that stuff when I'm sitting in the tractor." She is now selling prints of her photos to customers on a domestic and international scale. Ms Morris has been working on Jason King's farm for the past five years. He refers to her as the "farm celebrity" and praises her eye for photography. Ms Morris has spent her entire life on farms, including being homeschooled on one. She made her first trip to the Perth CBD last year and wants to continue her travels. When asked if he was worried about losing his farmhand to full-time photography, Mr King said: "She's very good." "You guys keep turning up, so hopefully, for her sake, it takes off."

Tom Trbojevic linked with shock NRL exit as Manly face Lehi Hopoate headache
Injury-plagued Sea Eagles superstar Tom Trbojevic has been tipped to leave the club at the end of his current deal, with the English Super League tossed up as a potential new home for the man affectionately known as 'Turbo'. The 28-year-old is on a reported $1.1 million per season but has found himself on the physio table more often than on the field in recent years. Between 2018 and 2025, Trbojevic has only played more than 20 games a season on two occasions. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. And since winning the 2021 Dally M Medal, Trbojevic has averaged just 12.8 games per season due to a string of injuries. Trbojevic even offered to give a large chunk of his salary back last year after feeling so bad about collecting over a million dollars per season, but only playing a handful of games. That move was rejected by the NRL. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the club has commenced contract talks with the management team of the Manly fullback and his brother Jake, who are both signed until the end of next season. But in a bombshell new development, it has been reported that the superstar fullback is prepared to walk, so as to not block the development of other young backs at the club. Deputising for Trbojevic at fullback this year, 20-year-old Lehi Hopoate has been outstanding. His speed and agility has sent tongues wagging and even led to the likes of Roosters great Bryan Fletcher suggesting that even when Trbojevic is fit Hopoate should be Manly's No.1. 'He is way too good, it's clearly evident, he needs to be around the ball because things happen,' Fletcher said on SEN on Monday. 'He is too valuable to this team to be playing on the wing. I know Tom is a terrific fullback … he has to be in the centres. Things happen around Hopoate. 'He has signed for three more years there. He cannot play on the wing. If he is still on the wing in three years' time his management, I would expect him, to be looking elsewhere.' But it isn't just Hopoate that has Trbojevic considering if it is best for the club for him to leave. They also have livewires Tolu Koula and Clayton Faalalo, with their form so strong that it has kept the likes of Tommy Talau and Jason Saab out of the team throughout various stages of the season. And according to SMH, if Trbojevic's re-signing will cost the team any of their young backline stars, the fullback would prefer to leave to join the Super League. Trbojevic has reportedly informed those close to him that if push came to shove he would prefer to play in England than for a Manly rival in the NRL. But even still the Sea Eagles are reportedly keen to keep Trbojevic and his older brother Jake. However, if both are to pen an extension it will be on significantly less than what they are currently being paid. Jake is currently on around $900,000 and the club are reportedly willing to offer a one-year extension worth around $500,000. While Tom will likely have to take a similar haircut on his pay packet to around the $700,000 a season mark.
