The Prime Minister’s Anzac trek; Bluey’s big day in London; Milo makes it home; and our first Aussie Astronaut
Your daily kids news podcast.
Tomorrow's sunrise will bring more than just light; it’ll reflect the enduring courage of the Kokoda heroes. Aussie Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and PNG Prime Minister James Marape are walking through history, camping under the same stars that once watched over brave soldiers.
London’s Australia House turns into Bluey House! Amid cheers and music, Bluey wags her tail at fans, scooping up a special award and proving she’s the world's favourite healer.
After a 17-day solo tour of Melbourne, Milo, the speedy terrier, is back with his family. Next stop? A cozy staycation with lots of belly rubs and no airports!
Katherine Bennell-Pegg is the first-ever astronaut to sport the Aussie flag on her shoulder. Beating out 23,000 other candidates, she's graduated from astronaut school.
