One in five crashes: why drivers are urged to take care in school holidays
With 20 per cent of serious crashes occurring during school holidays, police are urging drivers to take extra care before getting behind the wheel. As school holidays begin on July 7, motorists who plan to hit the roads should drive according to the weather conditions, which are typically adverse during the winter months, police said. In the July school holidays last year, eight people died in crashes, the same number as in 2023. Police data showed that almost 20 per cent of crashes involving injuries or fatalities happened during the 12 weeks of public school holidays. So far this year, 190 people have died on the NSW roads, 29 more deaths than at this time last year. Officers will be conducting enforcement patrols and operations over the next two weeks. Over previous holiday periods, Hunter-based highway patrol officers have warned drivers to be careful around known traffic pinch points, such as the M1 Pacific Highway at Hexham. In the 2024 Christmas holidays, police said heavy holiday traffic was expected across Heatherbrae, Hexham and Beresfield. The M1 extension to Raymond Terrace, which has caused backed-up traffic on Hunter roads, was expected to be completed by 2028. Traffic and Highway Patrol commander Assistant Commissioner David Driver said wet weather could contribute to serious crashes. "Drivers need to be aware of the risks when travelling in wet and snowing conditions, with black ice a serious hazard on our roads at this time of year," Mr Driver said. A dusting of snow fell on the Barrington Tops this week as severe weather bombarded the east coast of Australia. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service warned driving conditions were hazardous due to the combination of wind and wet conditions. He said drivers should take extra care, reduce their speed and focus when heading off on road trips. "As always, don't speed, wear a seatbelt, never drive when tired, do not use a mobile phone while driving and never drive if affected by drugs or alcohol," he said. In the 2025 January and April school holiday period, there were 1305 crashes where people were injured, including 37 fatalities. It has been a tragic few weeks on the Hunter roads, with several serious crashes ending in fatalities. A young boy died in a two-car crash north of Scone on June 25, while a 55-year-old woman died in a North Lambton crash, and a 28-year-old woman lost her unborn baby. Local legend Lenny Wilton died after being hit by a car outside his Awaba home, and in a separate incident, a 38-year-old woman died in a two-car crash in Fennell Bay.

Australian James Webb is going for 60 at Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
'The first year I competed in 2022, I finished on the podium. The only person to do that at his first attempt was Joey Chestnut, the LeBron James, the Michael Jordan, the Tom Brady of competitive eating. His record is 76 hot dogs in ten minutes. 'My whole life changed forever after that first contest in New York. Three years later, I'm talking to you from the US as the fourth-ranked competitive eater in the world.' 52 hot dogs in 10 minutes 53 Texas sausages in ten minutes 70 glazed doughnuts in ten minutes 276 buffalo wings in 12 minutes 224 grilled chicken wings in eight minutes 350 doughnut holes in eight minutes 6.1kgs of fudge in eight minutes 1kg mozzarella cheese without using hands in 1minute 22.59 seconds (a Guinness world record) Just as Australian Josh Giddey has become a household name with NBA fans, and Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl winner Jordan Mailata is a big deal, Webb, who now calls Dallas home, is recognised by the locals on a daily basis. He was interviewed by ESPN and TMZ this week. His ability to eat quickly was only discovered after a trip to the Khartoum Hotel in Cessnock, in the NSW Hunter region, in 2021. Webb became the first person to devour the pub's 5kg, $60 burger in less than 30 minutes. Word spread about his feats, especially via social media, which caught the attention of a few competitive eaters in the US. Webb was invited to a pizza-eating contest in Blacksburg, Virginia, 'which was in the middle of nowhere, a bit like Cessnock', and finished second with 11 slices in ten minutes. A corn-eating contest in Florida followed, where he consumed 38 corn cobs in ten minutes, before a hot dog qualifier in Oakland, California, paved the way for his invite to New York. This year's competition marks the return of 16-time champion Joey Chestnut, who holds the Nathan's record of 76 hot dogs. Joey Chestnut at the 2021 Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. Credit: AP Chestnut was banned from the 2024 event after he struck up a partnership with Impossible Foods (who make vegan hot dogs), with Nathan's not allowing competitors to support rival brands. The 41-year-old from California has consumed 1219 hot dogs in 19 appearances at the competition. Webb has more than 1.8 million followers on TikTok. He makes a point of getting his heart checked and cholesterol tested every year when he returns to Australia. Loading The only health condition from eating so quickly is a nasty dose of 'heartburn', and a shocking habit of 'gripping a glass or cup of drink' every time he has a meal at a restaurant, given the importance of liquid helping flush food into the stomach. Webb said he relied little on chewing, and more on the fluid, which could be anything the competitor chose, as long as it was not alcoholic. 'The funny thing is, I don't even like hot dogs, I don't even know why Americans like them – they're foul and terrible, but sold everywhere here,' Webb said.

Bravo to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. It was vulgar but they did their wedding right
The last thing I did before running out the door for my second wedding was stick on the veil from my first. From when I was half my age, 24, not 48. From when I was saying 'I do' in a country church instead of 'I'm all in, but fingers crossed' in a city town hall. Of course, I'd debated the appropriateness and chicness of a mum of three sporting a foofy tulle thing. And whether it was a bad look to front up to my new husband in something the first one had swept off my face at the altar. But my second husband was a wedding virgin, and I was hell-bent on giving him the Full McCoy experience – not some toned-down affair because his missus was a re-tread. It was captain's choice. Had he wanted roving troubadours and clog dancing, it would've been a hard yes. What he decided on was the bride in white (for renewal, in case you ask – a fabulous Carla Zampatti), and to dance to Powderfinger's Burn Your Name. Done! I only felt a tiny bit mutton dressed as lamb, and also figured this would be the last time I'd be a bride, so I could push the boat out. And at my age, it felt like one of the few remaining big life festivities I'd get – funeral aside. So why not rock it? Loading Which is why I've abstained this week from dissing Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' ridiculous Venice wedding. Putting aside that he's one of the richest men in the world yet barely pays tax, why shouldn't someone throw an ultra-decadent party for their second marriage? Who says second weddings have to be quietly dignified affairs? The way people have carried on (Charlize Theron: 'They suck'), you'd think Bezos and Sanchez had cancelled Christmas. Yes, it was wildly extravagant: Dolce & Gabbana couture, boats, entire five-star hotels commandeered. Three days of celebrations, not including Sanchez's hen's do in Paris or the foam party held on Bezos's yacht moored off the coast of Croatia.
