The Sydney Marathon (August 30) medal was just revealed. Why am I telling you this? On the back there's a few of the places the course goes past. One of those is the Allianz Stadium (second picture), which you might notice bears little resemblance with what's depicted on the medal.
Anyway, if you come across any lost runners in a couple of weeks, please send them back. Danke!
Stunning work. Less than 2 weeks to go!
Hi all, due to a design error when renovating our house we ended up with this random room. It’s kind of in the middle the house, access is through a door on some stairs. Looking for some ideas to do something with it, bit stumped. We were thinking some sort of storage, maybe book shelves? I don’t know, anyone got anything better? Cheers for any help
Details:
3.7m long
0.9m wide
Ceiling is 3.5m high from bottom level
Step is 0.6m high and 1.7m into room
Door swings inwards
No windows, single light, vent is just access to a fan
I have this package coming from Portugal and it shows as being received in Port Augusta North (which is an actual post office in Port Augusta).
I'm not concerned, but I am quite curious if any of the insiders here might have a clue about what could have caused that slight misunderstanding. Follow-up question: could that also explain the packet ending up in Melbourne (I'm in Sydney), or international packages just arrive wherever?
City2Surf is such a great event. Like with so many things it’s gotten a lot more expensive over the years (and the medals keep getting bigger), but it’s still magical to have runners and walkers on the road all the way from the city to Bondi – thousands of people just enjoying our beautiful city.
Don’t forget to give out a little bit of encouragement if you see someone struggling on one of the many hills, specially The hill.
I’m looking forward to this being built. A dip after a lap or two of the Bay Run will be amazing.
I like the natural look of the fudge, but I was starting to worry about the longevity of the leather. I applied some conditioner and then wax. Pretty happy with the outcome.
The last total eclipse visible from Sydney happened in 1857, and the next one will be in 2858. Check the position of the sun today at around 12:40PM if you want to start planning for the big day.

A rare but welcome sight these days. I hope they do well.
I still have 20+ hours to go (it’s a tall one printing slowly). Any advice?
First off, I'm really grateful for parkrun and appreciate the massive endeavour it is to run such an event all around the world.
With that out of the way, I wish parkrun would let us dive a bit more into the data they collect. My particular use case is that my running club has quite a few parkrunners and we love celebrating each other's milestones. With the current parkrun club setup it's really hard to keep track of how many parkruns our members are up to. It's also hard to tally up how many events they've done in a year, how many different events, times, age grades, which events had a visitor from our club for the first time, and so many more things.
If it's a cost thing, I'm happy to make a donation to cover for that. If it's privacy, restrict my access to just people who join my club (and the data is all available on the website anyway, it's just harder to get).
Please, parkrun, open up the API.
The Sea Urchin Science Centre in Kurrajong is the product of Ashley Miskelly’s lifelong passion. I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s a fantastic experience to learn from someone who’s so passionate and knowledgeable (and has a sea urchin named after him) about a subject. Very much worth a visit.
