House prices are ridiculous in Yeppoon a 4 bed 2 bath home that a few years ago was selling for high 400,000ās maybe 500 sold for $808,000 2 doors down from me . Yes they are big blocks of around 1200sqm and a walk to the beach around the corner ā¦ but this is in a town of 20,000 people and none of these homes have sea views .
They might be big blocks but you can still hear your neighbours sitting outside talking, mowing the lawn , dogs barking etc ā¦

20,000? Yeppoon is bigger than i thought! Or does that cover that coastal area down to Zilzie?

According to the 2021 Census, Yeppoon does indeed have a population of around 20,000:

No, itās considered an urban area.

Ive nearly watched 9 seasons of The Goldbergsā¦i had bough up to Season5 a while ago on itunes and the rest on 7plusā¦Season 9 some of the storylines are a bit ridiculous more than previous seasons hard to explain its like theyve run out of ideas as well as original footageā¦think the show is dragging on now . Not sure how Season 10 is rating in the USA.
Modern Family and The Middle stopped about the right time.
New $5 note - the Queen wonāt be replaced by King Charles
In a statement, the central bank said it was time to update the banknote to feature a ānew design that honours the culture and history of First Australians.ā
But the RBA said the new note wonāt be ready for a number of years, meaning the Queen will still be spotted on the $5 for some time.
We will probably be a Republic by the time they get around to it anyway.
even if we are not, he will be on the back of every bloody coin

Anyone with an interest in grammar and style guides might find this amusing.
AP Stylebook put out a tweet last week
And in making the recommendation not to offend some groups by using ātheā labels, they ended up doing just that by giving the example of āthe Frenchā. They then had to issue an apology tweet and edit the previous one.
It seems le Francais were offended by the original tweet but not the poor, the mentally ill, the disabled or the college educated.

If itās going to take a few years to come up with a new design, then maybe they should just reissue the special ones they did back in 2001 for the Centenary of Federation featuring Henry Parkes and Catherine Helen Spence until the new one is ready.

Iām a bit surprised the RBA didnāt already have a design to replace the Queen.
As she was 96, i think they should have been better prepared to move to a new design much quicker.
Thatās not Caroline Chisolm, itās Catherine Helen Spence.
Chisolm appeared on the original $5 note along with Joseph Banks.

Thanks. I looked at an incorrectly labelled image online.

Probably had a design with Charles, but not something different.
Itāll be interesting to see if Canada and NZ follow with their $20s.
