VOLLIE SPOTLIGHT

**BREAKING NEWS:**

Leah has officially hitched up the caravan and is fleeing the country - well the edges of it.

Leah will be in charge of:
- Yelling “IS THE VAN HITCHED PROPERLY?” every 40 minutes
- Waving at every single car/caravan they pass
- Pretending she’s not judging other people’s reversing skills

Her hubby will be in charge of:
- Reversing the caravan while Leah provides “helpful feedback”
- Asking “Did you pack the thing?” without specifying what the thing is
- Holding the dogs treats

We’re expecting at least:
- One tyre blowout
- Two arguments about maps
- Three photos of the dog looking majestic in front of a sunset

Have the BEST time, Leah — we’ll miss your volunteering, but we fully expect you to return with stories involving a rogue emu, a dodgy roadhouse pie, and a caravan park neighbour named Baz. ❤️📻🦘

*NOTE: Massive thanks to our kind and considerate vollie co-ordinator Toni who jumped in her dodgy falcon and came in to say 'good-bye, when it was her day off. Don't get any ideas Toni - you're not hitching a lift with Leah 🤣

STATE OF ORIGIN TONIGHT!

Think you know how tonight’s Origin clash will end?
Drop your final score prediction below — first correct guess wins a Broncos double pass to a home game! 🏉

Our prediction: QLD 32 – NSW 6

Can the mighty Maroons keep their hopes alive for a series domination?

Get your guesses in before kick‑off (otherwise that’d be cheating, lol).

BIRTHDAY SHOUT OUT! 🎂

A very special Happy Birthday to our wonderful President, John Preston - host of Mojo, Mini Mojo and the best conversations you'll ever have.

Although still currently enjoying a UK summer, we are positive he'll come back with a tan and a story or two.

Happy Birthday, John!

NOT A FAN OF THE RAIN

Dropping by TODAY and breaking hearts as he always does, is our favourite guide dog Shadow.....

His face may be greying, but he's as cheeky as ever in his dapper yellow rain jacket.....

He's already cleaned out all the floor bins and found his way to the biscuit barrell.....🤣
