SINCE the advents of rolling news coverage and social media, smartphone footage and eyewitness accounts have made it easier than ever to experience major events as they occur and probably think that we understand what has unfolded. But the news cycle – and the nation’s attention – moves on swiftly.
This moving ABC series slows down the headlines to revisit key moments in recent history, as told by those who actually lived them, providing viewers with a new perspective on the past, and challenging what we might think we know.
From watching a plane hit the World Trade Center from the 92nd floor of the South Tower on September 11, 2001, to being at Canberra’s Government House on November 11, 1975, the day of the Dismissal, these are incredible first-person accounts of life-changing days.
Later episodes focus on 2005’s racially charged Cronulla riots, the Fairlie Arrow kidnapping hoax of 1991 and the Sydney to Hobart yacht race tragedy that transpired in 1998.
Tuesday’s return is a heart-wrenching retelling of the February, 7, 2009, Black Saturday bushfires, with survivors, first responders and community members generously sharing their personal stories from a dark day that then Victorian Premier John Brumby described as “the worst ever in the history of the state.”
Sixteen years on, the townships of Marysville, Kinglake and Kinglake West are still recovering from the events of the day.
“It was just really surreal,” recalls Kinglake restaurateur Isabella Laudisio (pictured), whose father was among the 173 who lost their lives.
“It’s like, can it possibly be happening in just one normal day?”

LOVE IT OR LIST IT AUSTRALIA
Streaming, Foxtel and Binge
As intense as the final moments of a hard-fought auction, the friendly but fierce rivalry between design guru Neale Whitaker and real estate expert Andrew Winter is as entertaining as ever in the sixth season of this popular property series.
The pair are once again tasked with making their pitches to Aussie homeowners weighing whether to freshen up their existing abode or sell up and find a new place to settle down.
Throw in a volatile property market, deep emotional connections and a cost-of-living crisis, Whitaker and Winter face some serious pressure to help the 10 families taking part make the right decision. However, as always, the dynamic duo rise to the challenge with their expertise, charm and plenty of cheeky banter.
Winter says all bets are off for the battle. “Neale’s highly competitive and has resorted to what I would call ‘cheating’ this season, bringing in so-called friends and doing whatever it takes to try and secure a

Aisha Dee (pictured with Chai Hansen) leads a six-part psychological thriller that will keep you guessing right up until the final credits roll.
After a one-night stand with a stranger, paramedic Lina (Dee) is shocked to find out that the passionate tryst has been captured by hidden cameras. When the voyeur tries to use the steamy footage to blackmail her, Lina sets out to unmask her tormentor.
win,” he says. “Plus ‘Team List It’ is battling with one of the toughest Australian buying markets in years. With so few homes for sale to tempt my team. It’s a tough sell.” Whitaker believes, like with any makeover project, it pays to seek expert advice.
“I think Andrew’s feeling a bit threatened,” Whitaker says. “Not surprising really, when you look at the amazing renovations in our brand new season. They’re easily the best yet, providing life-changing solutions for our homeowners across Australia.” – Travis Lewis

Imagine Mrs Doubtfire set in the world of American football and you’ve got this sports comedy series. Man of the moment Glen Powell (pictured) plays a washed-up quarterback who tries to resurrect his once-promising career by disguising himself as a talented oddball and infiltrating a struggling team. If you’re missing Ted Lasso, this quirky six-parter just might be enough to fill the void.

Inspired by real-life events, this captivating survival drama follows a school bus driver and a teacher (Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera, both pictured) as they race to save 22 children from a devastating bushfire. Directed by action maestro Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy), it’s reminiscent of the blockbuster disaster hits of the 1990s.
From Heat to Ocean’s Eleven, the trope of an expert thief pulling off one last high-stakes heist has provided some of cinema’s most memorable moments. In this entertaining action thriller, Mark Wahlberg (pictured) plays a seasoned criminal who assembles a team to pull off a risky job that puts them at odds against a dictator, the mafia and the world’s richest man.

MONSTER: THE ED GEIN STORY
Streaming from Friday, Netflix
Prolific producer Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story) turns his attention to another notorious true-crime story with the latest instalment in this grisly anthology. Charlie Hunnam (pictured) plays infamous 1950s serial killer Ed Gein, who not only murdered several women, but also exhumed graves to creepily create items from human remains. It’s not one to watch alone.

Having left the sun-soaked shenanigans of Saint Marie behind, this Death in Paradise spin-off delves deeper into the lives of DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall, pictured) and his fiancée Martha (Sally Bretton) as they settle into her coastal Devonshire hometown. There’s still silly crime capers (case in point: this week, Goodman joins the local players to act out a murder mystery that turns out to involve a very real knife in the victim’s back), but the focus is on the characters’ personal narratives. From Humphrey and Martha’s turbulent journey to parenthood, and Anne (Barbra Flynn) hesitantly re-entering the dating pool, it’s clear that this cosy murder series is all grown up.

THE AMAZING RACE AUSTRALIA: CELEBRITY EDITION 10, Monday, 7.30pm
Energetic host Beau Ryan always appears larger than life, but in this episode of the Race, the former NRL player takes it to another level, literally –appearing on a digital billboard above the vibrant streets of Taipei to direct the five remaining teams (including Big Brother host Gretel Killeen, pictured, and daughter Epiphany) to their next challenge. From embracing local cuisine at the bustling markets to testing their gaming skills at an arcade and tracking down “techno dancing gods”, the teams’ Taiwanese adventure is a smorgasbord of traditional and next-generation cultural experiences in the crowded city. Exhaustion is beginning to set in, but there’s one final push for the pit stop, where the real Ryan awaits with sad news for the final pair.

While her charming cad of an ex-husband sets about wooing his latest victim, widowed author Cheryl (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), Alice uses the tricks she learnt from him to infiltrate their lives and expose his scam. Marrying whimsy with dark humour, this unpredictable revenge drama will have you falling for both sides of the story.

FISH ON THE BITE
By ROBBIE ALEXANDER WANGARATTA
The fish are biting and I’m excited.
The water is warming up enough now for the warmer weather species to start biting while still being cold enough for the trout to be feeding well.
Recently I have been reporting on how many carp I have been catching in the Ovens River, but not much else.
Well that all changed last Friday afternoon when my friend Sonny and I went bait fishing in the lower reaches of the Ovens River near Bundalong.
Using worms as bait we managed to catch two carp, two small Murray cod (both released) and four yellowbelly.
The fish were on fire.
One yellowbelly was undersize but three were nice fish around the 40cm size.
We kept one yellowbelly and released to rest of them along with the cod, while the carp were despatched.
There have also been quite a few
yellowbelly caught in Lake Hume and a few at Lake Eildon. I have not heard any reports from Lake Nillahcootie yet, but if the yellowbelly aren’t biting yet I am sure they won’t be far away.
I have been doing a lot of reconnaissance type trout fishing trips this season, just fishing different areas to get a feel of how the season is shaping up.
Overall the trout fishing seems to be much better than it was at this time last year. It’s still not perfect, but there definitely seems to be more trout around.
Most of these trout are small, but given time they will grow.
Did you know that trout, particularly rainbow trout, are one of the fastest growing freshwater fish species in Victoria?
Also just a reminder to pack plenty of Aeroguard.
The mozzies along the Ovens River are like mini helicopters at the moment and there’s a lot of them.

TOILET TRAINING YOUR PUPPY
Knowledgebase
Toilet training a puppy or dog requires patience and consistency.
Every dog learns at their own pace, and it’s essential to use reward-based positive reinforcement techniques to encourage the behaviour you want.
Start by giving your dog plenty of opportunities to go outside, especially first thing in the morning, after meals, and frequently throughout the day.
When your dog toilets in the correct spot, immediately reward them with praise, a treat, or a favourite toy.
The reward must occur immediately after the event (within a few seconds), not when the dog comes back inside, as the dog will not make an association between going to the toilet in the right spot and the reward unless it is given straight afterwards.
Supervise your dog closely to catch these moments and reward them promptly.
Look for signs that your dog may need to go, such as sniffing, circling, or pausing in one spot.
By learning your dog’s signals, you can guide them outside in time.
If your dog has an accident inside, avoid reacting.
Instead, clean the area with a nonammonia-based cleaner to remove odours and the likelihood of the dog using the same place again.
Ignoring indoor accidents helps your dog focus on the positive rewards for going in the right place.
Never punish your dog for accidents, as this can create distress and confusion and may delay progress.
Young puppies may not have full control over their bladder, so be patient as they develop.
With consistency and positive reinforcement, most dogs learn to toilet in the desired location over time.

The season for sneezes
As spring awakens across Australia, so too does a wave of discomfort for millions of allergy sufferers.
Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, affects nearly one in four Australians, and the numbers are rising.
The culprit?
Pollen, tiny grains released by grasses, trees, and weeds, that becomes airborne and invades our respiratory systems.
The symptoms, sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, and fatigue, can be more than a nuisance.
Hayfever can exacerbate asthma, impair sleep, and reduce productivity.
For some, the condition is so severe that
relocation becomes a last resort, as seen in cases where sufferers moved interstate to escape high-pollen zones.
Managing hayfever requires vigilance.
Monitoring daily pollen counts, staying indoors during peak times, and using air purifiers can help.
If symptoms persist despite over-thecounter treatments, or interfere with daily life, it’s time to chat with your GP.
A doctor can assess whether your hayfever is linked to other conditions like asthma, and may refer you to an allergy specialist for testing and tailored treatment.
