Oh, you've got it, OK, yup.
I've left a shovel here to fill it up as you go.

Just dig and you can really go to town.
You got some armrests here, lean back if you want to get really into it.
OK, wow, crafty, um, yeah.

Thousands March to Support Gaza
Good morning and welcome back, it's Ainsley here with all the news you need to kick off your working week. Today's must-reads: • Thousands march to support Gaza • Victoria's hybrid working rights • New Zealand's new tourist charge Tens of thousands of people marched across Sydney's Harbour Bridge on Sunday in support of Gaza, calling on the Australian government to increase pressure on Israel to alleviate the humanitarian crisis. While the police estimated a crowd of 90,000, organizers said the number may have been more than three times higher. It's a rarity that the bridge is closed, and traffic diverted, for a rally.

Being on tour with the British and Irish Lions
Across thousands of miles, discovering the true nature of the Aussie sporting landscape and the tourists' unity, it has been an unforgettable six weeks following the British and Irish Lions in Australia. It wasn't the perfect ending to the tour for the British and Irish Lions but Andy Farrell and his players achieved what they set out to do and that was win the series here in Australia. Since Willie John McBride led the 'Invincibles' to victory in South Africa in 1974, this is only the fourth time the Lions have headed home victorious. For the past six weeks the tour has travelled across this vast nation starting in Perth in the west with stops in Canberra and Adelaide and then on to Brisbane, Melbourne and finishing in Sydney. The accompanying media band of brothers and sisters have spent most of the time living out of a suitcase. By the time I reach home I'll have travelled almost 26,000 miles, taken two long haul and seven internal flights and will have visited a number of Australian launderettes on the way. 'A strange kind of glory' as legacy-defining win eludes Lions The tour, and especially how Australia played in the final Test to win it, should also be a boost for the sport of rugby union in this country. I hadn't realised until I arrived here how far down the pecking order of sports rugby union has fallen. The sporting landscape is dominated by Aussie Rules and rugby league, and the latter entices players away from the union code with big pay cheques. Once regarded as one of the greatest nations in world rugby union, the vicious circle means that over the past few years Australia's reputation has slipped, and poor performances saw the Wallabies plummet to as low as eighth in the world rankings. In turn, that has taken away its exposure. However, under Joe Schmidt, they appear to have a nucleus of players that can lead the revival. While the Lions tour began with little to no media coverage, it built as the Test matches approached with sellout crowds - the highlight being over 90,000 for the epic second test at the MCG in Melbourne. With the next World Cup here in two years time, a successful Australia is extremely important. So what did we learn about the Lions? Losing the final Test, but winning the series, will mean they go down as a great side but certainly not among the legendary Lions squads from history. They were impeccably captained by Maro Itoje, who does rise up the list of great Lions players. You can add Tadhg Furlong to that list as well. The Irish prop has now completed three tours having played all nine Test matches. Tadhg Beirne played every minute of the three tests and was rightly voted the Lions Player of the Series. Dan Sheehan, Tom Curry, Jamison Gibson-Park, Finn Russell and Huw Jones were others who return home with their reputations enhanced. Under Farrell, the Lions tried to play an expansive game and, at times, they produced some great rugby. The first half of the opening test in Brisbane, combined with the last fifteen minutes of the second test in Melbourne, were perhaps their best moments and they were enough to win the series. However there will be disappointment that they didn't produce the full 80-minute performance that would have showcased their talents. They had hoped to do that in Sydney in the final test but the weather and a highly motivated Australia put pay to that. The Wallabies will also look back in hindsight with some regrets. They only had one warm up game, a narrow win over Fiji, and were horribly under-cooked for the first test in Brisbane. They improved dramatically as the series went on and will point to the controversial decision not to penalise Jac Morgan for his clear out on Carlo Tizzano at the end of the test in Melbourne, as the only moment standing between them and a series win. And what if Will Skelton and Bobby Valetini had been fit for all three matches? Sport is always full of if's, buts and maybes. There are some people who believe that the Lions is an outdated concept, but that couldn't be any further from the truth. Eespecially for the thousands of Lions supporters who made their way to the other side of the world to cheer on their team. The 'sea of red' has been evident in every city. There is still something romantic about touring in the southern hemisphere, so far from home. The Australian economy is quite thankful also. There is no doubt that the Lions 'brand' travels well and could that in the future take it to Argentina or France? Maybe but any questions about whether the Lions should return to Australia or not have most likely been laid to rest after three sold-out and competitive test matches, or at least two-and-a-half. My moment of the tour - it's quite an obvious one and that was the second test at the MCG and the composure the Lions showed in the last few minutes to set up Hugo Keenan for the series winning try. It was a wonderful sporting occasion to be at and it got the game and the ending, controversy and all, that it deserved. Experiencing how a tour like this develops and evolves has been special. My final thought is that the Lions is unique and it's ideals and concepts should be protected, and Andy Farrell and the players did just that. It also brings people together from Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland, united by their love of rugby and by sport. That is a good thing. Next stop for the British and Irish Lions - New Zealand in 2029.

Solo 4WD traveller reveals 'confronting reality' of notorious Aussie road
A 4WD driver who braved a notorious stretch of road in the outback alone is urging Australians not to get swept up in the rising popularity of 4WD holidays unless they truly understand what one entails. After months of building up the courage to drive the infamous Gibb River Road in WA's Kimberley Region, a 660-kilometre dirt track with the reputation of being a 'vehicle wrecker', Jade Nicolle, 44, admitted to Yahoo News there were moments the "confronting reality" of being alone in the Aussie wilderness almost got the better of her. This was definitely the case when she drove out to Wunnamurra Gorge at the start of the month. Despite asking for advice from station staff at Mount Elizabeth, and being reassured that her vehicle and beginner 4WD skills would be enough for the journey, she quickly found herself in over her head — almost literally. "It very quickly became apparent that there was probably a difference in the definition of what a standard track was. I don't know why I didn't turn around and go home," Jade told Yahoo, explaining the terrain was rugged and unpredictable, and the incline steep and ever-changing. "I was terrified, my Garmin watch kept telling me to relax because it was picking up that I was so distressed," she said. "The sun was in my face, and the dust was all over my windscreen. I could barely see because in many areas the roads point upwards and you're doing rock climbing, I had to drive with my head out the window." "It took me an hour to drive seven and a half kilometres." The 'confronting reality' abundantly clear to solo 4WD driver In the moments when Jade was steering white-knuckled along the track, she realised it was down to her to get herself and her car out in one piece. "It does become very confronting when you're a solo traveller, and you're the only car on the road, and you're faced with the reality that if you do something wrong and you break your car, then your holiday is potentially over, or you could be in trouble," she told Yahoo. "I genuinely contemplated just pulling the car over and walking the 12km back," she confessed. However, chose against it as she didn't want to block the road for any other drivers eager to make the journey. The dangers of solo travelling in the outback were apparent when German backpacker Caroline Wilga, 26, went missing for 11 nights following a vehicle accident. Caroline was later found by a driver and airlifted to hospital, with police explaining she survived by drinking from puddles and sheltering in a cave. 🌶️ Caravanning couple travel Australia thanks to OnlyFans 😲 Travelling couple stunned by free detail at servos during 4WD trip 🧐 4WDs making 'dangerous' mistake on Aussie roads The one thing 'mandatory' for Aussie 4WD holiday Jade was relieved to reach Wunnamurra Gorge, which she claims was "totally worth it", and return back to the highway without any major vehicle damage. Despite it being a moment of pride from the trip, she said she "wouldn't do it again", content that it was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. When Yahoo News questioned what she'd do differently, she instead highlighted the one thing that was her lifeline. She urged anyone eager to follow in her footsteps to ensure they have one thing. "In my eyes, a UHF is mandatory," she said. Ultra-High-Frequency radios allow vehicles to communicate with one another in the outback, and Jade claims having one not only helped ease her mind, but it also was exceptionally practical. "For instance, if I've got a caravan coming up behind me, I can contact it and say, caravan travelling westbound on Gibb River Road. This is the silver Navara in front of you. I can see that you want to overtake. I'll let you know when it's clear and you can get past," she explained. Jade isn't the only long-distance driver who has found a UHF hugely beneficially. In Feburary, truckie Ben was caught behind a caravanner who quickly contacted him on the radio to let him know whenever he wanted to overtake, he would slow down to make the process more efficient. The UHF radio was also used between a driver and a caravanner in a separate incident in March, to notify a caravanner that his vehicle was swaying on the road. Despite having moments of realisation that Jade had to get herself out of potentially dangerous situations, she told Yahoo the journey was incredible, and Aussies along the way are more than willing to lend a helping hand. "I was technically travelling alone, but I have never been alone. People you meet on the road are spectacular... the Aussie spirit is incredible," she said. Do you have a story tip?
