Andy Buchanan's done what no Australian has done before, finishing a marathon in under two hours and seven minutes!
The new Australian record holder's time, 2:06.22, came at the Valencia Marathon and shaved a staggering 69 seconds off the previous national record.

Great to catch up with Oz football community in Melbourne at last night's match in the Asian Qualifiers for @FIFAWorldCup 2026.
Superb recognition by @FootballAUS of their greatest WC result: 25 years since the Joeys came 2nd at 1999 U17 World Cup.

This was the game that kick-started the rise of Australian Football again. 🦘🇦🇺⚽️
Everything about this match is so iconic. The kits. The names. The boots. The old school football stadium (Upton Park).
A lot of people born in the 90's were so highly impacted by this result.
The Golden Generation was here.

Happy heavenly Birthday, Les. Today we would have celebrated your 79th year of life and boy, do I wish you were still here so we could have shared a vino or two. Sending you, and the many legends who have since left us, all our love. I miss you ♥️

On this day in 2014, the Hon Gough Whitlam AC QC, Australia’s 21st Prime Minister, passed away at age 98. We remember him as one of Australia's greatest reforming Prime Ministers, who put Australia on a path to a more equal, open and tolerant future.
Thank you, Gough.

Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. Home to Bologna FC.
This stadium is almost perfect. Great design and an amazing example of integrating architecture and built heritage into stadia.
It's easy to see why this ground was the model to follow for stadium construction around the world.

Australian, Peter Norman supported the Olympic Project for Human Rights on this day in 1968 in one of the most famous athlete protests in history.
He was ostracised by the Olympic movement and only acknowledged posthumously.
Standing for human rights often takes courage as great injustices do not end themselves.
Bravo Peter. More than an athlete.
A picture for all Australian athletes to ponder.

An icon of journalism.
A legendary broadcaster.
A friend to many.
#60Mins founding reporter George Negus has sadly died at 82, after a battle with Alzheimer's disease.
We will always treasure the stories and memories he gave us all.
