Remembering Julian McMahon! An Australian talent who rose from our very own Home and Away to become an international star, Julian McMahon has sadly passed away at age 56 after a private battle with cancer.
From his early days on Aussie screens to unforgettable roles like Cole Turner in Charmed and Dr. Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck, Julian brought intensity, charm, and depth to every role he played. He was the kind of actor who left a lasting impression – especially for those of us who first watched him in Summer Bay. Read a personal tribute by clicking here. See:

Anyone remember school milk? For many Aussies, lining up at recess for a tiny glass bottle of milk was a daily ritual – sometimes refreshing, sometimes … not so much (especially on a hot day!)
I was one of the kids who experienced the school milk program, which ran from 1951 to 1973 to support children’s health and the dairy industry. At one of the schools I attended, we lived just across the road – so at recess, I’d take my milk home and stir in a spoonful of chocolate Quik. Somehow, it always tasted so much better with a little chocolate and a break from the heat of the scorching Kondinin (100km inland from Carnarvon, WA) days.
Warm or not, it’s a memory that’s stuck with me – and a little reminder of the simple things that made school days special.
