Looking for good quality jute, sisal or hemp rope in Australia.

Hi folks, not sure if this is the best forum but I hope you can help. I am looking for good quality 6-8mm natural fibre rope. I am a scout leader looking to replace all my troop's rope. Most of it is low quality, like the 6mm rope on the left. On the right is an old piece of 8mm that is still in fantastic condition, soft and strong. It gets regular use, wet and dry, resists mold and is at least 15 years old.

Is anyone aware of any local (or international) suppliers of good quality natural fibre rope?

Seen on TV in the 70s. A group of people (maybe a family) camping on a beach. Voices heard at night, telling the group not to be scared, they just want to be friends.

Pretty sure they were driving a VW combi van, which had been disabled while they were sleeping.

The voice speaking to them was female and friendly sounding, but they were definitely being terrorised. I don't know if this was the main plot or just part of the movies but I haven thought about it often over the years.

Broken clip on my immersion wand

Backed up using a ratchet clamp.

I'm annoyed though. Currently in the middle of a 24hr cook. Left it last night looking OK and woke up to the wand sitting lop-sided and the clip broken off. Still working but it's only about 3 years old. Cheap brand "Masterpro".

The cook is beef ribs 👌🏼

The new Netflix movie "Apex" contains the song "Go" by The Chemical Brothers. First released in 2015, it has experienced a 429% increase in Spotify streams since the movie's release. What other songs have become instant favourites or were 'discovered' because they were in a movie?

This example is top of my list at the moment, but other examples for me have been "Life is a Highway", originally by Tom Cochrane in the early 90s and again by Rascal Flatts for the movie "Cars" (2006). Another for me is "Harder Than You Think" by Public Enemy (2007). I had never listened to anything by PE until it was included in the opening scenes of "End of Watch" (2012).

What other songs have jumped out at you when you heard them in a movie?
