I found more info on Scandrew and Charlotte.

Remember that lost show Scandrew & Charlotte: Two of a Kind? Well, I found the show's plot from IMDb. "Scandrew and Charlotte are 2 clumsy Pixls that befriend 2 human children named Sammy and Tina. They go on adventures." I also managed to find listings of the show on Kanopy …

Lunch orders with brown paper bags

Getting a lunch order was legit the best part of primary school. Bring in your brown paper bag with some coins, maybe a sausage roll or meat pie, and then waiting for it with your classmates. Those bags were magic. Your name and order scrawled on them and maybe a …

Scandrew & Charlotte: Two of a Kind!

So, I remember watching this back when ABC Kids still aired shows for older children. It aired from 2005 to 2007, and it had a brief rerun on ABC3 in 2012. The series followed 2 large middle schooler Pixls called Scandrew (who is blue) and Charlotte (who is pink) who …

Countdown Was the Best!

Serious question: is there anyone else out there who misses Countdown as much as I do? Molly Meldrum and his hats, those dodgy lip-syncs, and all the unreal music from the 80s. It was the ultimate Aussie music show! Spent so many Sunday nights glued to the telly with my …

Bring Back Daylight Savings!

Look, I know some people don't care, but let's be real - the vibe was different when daylight savings kicked in. Extra daylight meant more time at the beach after school, more backyard cricket with the family, and more lazy arvos that just felt like they stretched on forever. Not …

Aussie Life Before SPF lotions

Does anyone else remember those sunburns we ALL had back in the day before everyone started religiously applying SPF 50? Looking back, it seems crazy we spent whole summers without even a whisper of sunscreen, just unfazed by potential sunburns down at the beach or by the pool. We’d get …

Classic Fairy Bread Recipe

Righto, if you wanna relive those party days and whip up some fairy bread, here's how to do it proper: Take a fresh loaf of white bread, none of that multigrain rubbish, and slice it up. Smear a generous layer of margarine or butter over it, leaving no corner left …

Why did Polly Waffle really disappear?

Alright, I've been thinking about this for a while. Anyone remember the Polly Waffle bars? Chocolatey, marshmallowy goodness in a waffle wafer. They mysteriously disappeared from shelves in 2009. Some say it was 'due to declining sales'. Yeah right. Seems more like foul play to me, a conspiracy maybe? Could …

Remember paper straws at Maccas?

Anyone else miss those flimsy paper straws we used to get at Maccas? Could barely finish your large Coke before it got soggy haha. But yeah, it felt like a rite of passage during school hols to hit up Maccas with a few mates and complain about the straws. Simpler …

Crash Bandicoot at its finest

Ah, the days of sitting cross-legged on the floor smashing through levels on Crash Bandicoot for the PS1. Still remember when my brother and I spent hours trying to get all the crystals and gems. It was a game, but it felt like a journey man, with that bouncy soundtrack …
