Wayne Carey flees the country after alleged toilet tryst to ‘escape from reality'
Carey went viral in July after footage filmed at Toorak Cellars in Armadale, showed him following a woman out of a bathroom.

As the recording unfolded, a voice behind the camera can be heard saying, 'She looks embarrassed' as a woman left the bathroom, before a second added, 'What's he (Carey) doing in there?'
Carey and the woman in the video, marketing executive Kate Aston, both hit out at the footage as it made headlines, with the premiership star labelling it cyber-bullying.

And now the North Melbourne great has revealed he has left Australia, taking his children on holiday to an Asian country to 'escape'.
'Couldn't be better where I am,'' Carey said on Sam Newman's You Cannot Be Serious podcast this week.
'No one knows where you are, and where I am, who I am. Just a beautiful part of the world this is.
'I'm not Australia's most wanted at the minute. Anyone who wants to escape from reality, take four children, put them on a plane and if you think you're escaping from reality, you're kidding yourself.'
Newman hinted that Carey was holidaying in Malaysia as he went on to explain the reason behind Wayne's sudden trip abroad.
'Just withdrawn from the public arena for the time being, just to gather yourself,' Newman said.
'You've got on a plane with your four children and you've left the country.'
In response, Wayne cheekily replied: 'I'm not going to be on Banged Up Abroad.'
Carey also added that he was away to 'get out of the mainstream', and that he had taken his children away despite it not being school holidays.
'I've pulled the kids out of school and said let's do it now. One, because it's not as busy, two, we'll make it educational,' Carey said.
The latest update comes after the 54-year-old revealed following the viral video, he'd been given the nickname 'toilet duck'.
Carey, is affectionately called Duck by his friends, including Newman.
But the nickname 'Toilet Duck' has originated from a footy fan forum on Reddit.
It is a play on the name of the US toilet cleaning brand, Toilet Duck. The American brand's bottles typically have a neck that is shaped like that of a duck's.
Carey and Ashton continue to consult with lawyers as fallout from the video continues.
Both Carey and Ashton have denied any wrongdoing, with the Kangaroos legend saying it was a breach of privacy and 'slut shaming'.
Carey also said what had happened to them should be looked at on the same level as when racist abuse is directed at players.
While Aston labelled it a 'deliberate act of bullying' and said she was continuing to consult with lawyers.

Come behind the scenes with Lisa Millar as Back Roads takes on the mighty Snowy River
When Lisa Millar and the Back Roads crew set out to film along the mighty Snowy River, they knew there could be some logistical hurdles involved. "As soon as I got into the water I was immediately reminded that this was not gentle," Millar said. "This is a landscape that can turn on you at any time and that is what was proven to us several times throughout the trip." The week-long trip took Millar and the crew of four from one end of the Snowy to the other. Beginning in the mountains of NSW, the group finished their journey in the coastal town of Marlo, Victoria, where the river meets the ocean. It also involved not one, but two trips into the river by Millar. "It was an experience that first time - the kayaking - and then when I was in the double [raft], the question was how do you keep equipment dry?" The solution required a little out-of-the box thinking. "A trick that [sound operators] do is they put the microphone in a condom, because it's waterproof," Millar said. "I took a photo of it because it was quite funny!" But the crew's challenges didn't end when the kayaking trip did. "There were a lot of times when there were added challenges for the camera crew particularly when you are going into places where you can't take your own vehicle," she said. "Like when we went down with the buggy." Millar said there was one day where the plan was to venture down a track called Betts Creek into a particularly remote area to do a piece to camera by the river. While the track starts out in lush tree fern and mountain ash forest, it soon becomes steep and rocky. But it's the red clay sections that, with even the smallest rainfall, bring people unstuck — as the team found out. Despite all the checks and precautions, the Snowy proved it's not to be messed with. "I was like, 'I'm just gonna finish this piece to camera' and they're like, 'We need to get out of here now'. "As it started to drizzle, the red dirt started to turn into that claggy glue, so there was a real urgency for us to get up and out of there. And that's when we blew a tyre. "Camera operator Stu Heppell and one of the guides began the slow walk uphill to get a phone signal while the rest of us stayed with the buggy, grateful we'd packed snacks and a sense of humour." Heppell and the tour guide eventually made it far enough up the hill to call for help and another buggy came to the rescue. "It was another reminder that the Snowy has the reputation it deserves — that it can be incredible, but it can also be incredibly unpredictable," Millar said. "Even with all of the processes we put in place … you're still reminded of your own vulnerability and your own smallness when you are in that kind of landscape." Even with the unexpected hurdles, Millar was taken aback by the experience of not just the environment, but the people that live and work along the river. She said she was inspired by the "endless passion" they had, even when they were pushed to their limits. She's hoping that, like her, people walk away with a renewed love and awe for the region. "My take away from it all is that I have travelled around the world, for fun as well as work, and yet I just didn't have the appreciation of what was on our own doorstep."

‘Can't be true': Aussie shares huge US shock
After going viral last week on the topic of Aussies and their pub meat trays, musician G Flip has stunned yet again by revealing another huge difference between the US and Australia. The latest revelation even prompted their American wife to declare it simply 'couldn't be true'. The Aussie drummer and singer, who primarily lives in the US and uses they/them pronouns, dropped a bombshell with wife and Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, educating her on the topic of the pen licence – a badge of honour for Aussie school kids. 'Today I found out Americans don't get their pen licence when they're a kid,' the GAY 4 ME singer revealed. 'So in Australia, when you're like eight or nine, you do a test to deem whether you're ready to upgrade from a pencil to a pen. 'You've got to make sure it's all legible and the letters look great, and then your teacher will grade you.' At the end of this process, students are gifted a certificate that allows them to use a pen for all writing tasks, known as a pen licence. 'But apparently, Americans, y'all don't get a pen licence and you're out here using pencils until you're in your teens,' the Disco Cowboy singer added. 'That's a lot of sharpening!' The comments section of the video was filled with stunned Americans, as well as other followers from around the world sharing they had something similar and guilty Aussies confessing to never securing their pen licence — but still using a pen anyway. Stause, who tied the knot with G Flip in 2022, was shocked by the key cultural difference between her wife's home country and her own. 'This cannot be true — you have never told me this,' Stause commented. One person said: 'I am an Australian who didn't get their pen licence. I moved schools in year 5, and the school I went to did the licence in year 4 so I missed it. 'But the school I left did it in year 5, so also missed it. I've been writing unlicensed for years and I carry that guilty secret with me every day.' 'Aussie here, NSW. I failed pen licence in year 3. Tried again in year 4 — failed! You bet I walked into year 5 with no licence but a three-pack.' 'BIC 4 COLOUR BALLPOINT PEN,' another said. One person said: 'In Ireland, we also get a pen licence, and what a moment that does be!' 'This is wildddddd,' one added. Another said: 'No … this can't be real.' 'Forgot about this. Putting it on my CV,' another commented. One said: 'We have pen licences in the UK too! We even got a special pen in our school when we passed! I kept mine until I was 25.' 'I'm an Aussie and my kids don't do it anymore! They don't hand write anything anymore, it's all on laptops and iPads,' one commented. Another said: 'Anyone else left handed and have their pen licence taken off them when they smudged the ink across the page?' 'We don't do this in Canada,' one said. One added: 'I never passed so I've had to use a pencil forever. I'm 40. So focus kids and work hard because it can affect you forever.' 'Oh wow. Never heard that before,' one remarked. One social media user commented: 'I never got my pen licence …. Don't tell anyone. It's my biggest shame.' 'As a primary school teacher, I can't tell you the joy it gives me to give a student their pen licence,' one commented. Last week, the Drink Too Much singer confused many by revealing the Australian tradition of the meat tray raffle. 'I'm an Aussie who lives in America and I have an American wife and I think one of the funniest things to explain about Australian culture is that you can win a meat tray in the pub,' they told followers. 'So you go to the pub and they hand out raffle tickets to win a meat tray. And you just win a tray of various meats and sausages. 'You go home with the meat tray. And everyone who's American that I've ever told that to is like, 'What the f***.'
