Sydney’s Top 10 Suburbs Are All Coastal, Except One
Sydney’s Top 10 Suburbs Are All Coastal, Except One

To absolutely no one’s surprise, the most in-demand Sydney suburbs are all in close proximity to the ocean; except for one, that is…


Domain, the Australian digital property portal, has released their Spotlight Report which provides a detailed insight into the NSW property market. The report was created by a team of “research experts” and revealed, among other things, what the top ten in-demand Sydney suburbs are.

This was achieved by looking at the average number of views per property listing on Domain to determine what areas potential buyers are currently most interested in. As it turns out, Northwood, located on the Lower North Shore, is the most in-demand suburb in Sydney followed closely by Kurraba Point, also located on the Lower North Shore, and Whale Beach, located on the Northern Beaches.

The fourth through to the ninth most in-demand Sydney suburbs according to Domain’s Spotlight Report are (in order) Birchgrove, Mooney Mooney Creek, Lavender Bay, Clontarf, Canada Bay and Patonga – meaning Sydney’s top nine most in-demand suburbs are all coastal and boast many properties with waterfront views.

However, Sydney’s tenth most in-demand suburb, Darlington isn’t coastal at all. It’s a trendy inner-city suburb that’s located extremely close to Sydney’s CBD and is filled with beautiful terraced houses.

If you’re thinking of investing in one of these ten suburbs prepare for a tough battle though, as buyers’ agent Henny Stier, of OH Property Group, told the Sydney Morning Herald that buyers usually have to wait years before a property becomes available in these areas.

This is because demand is so high (duh, they’re the top ten most in-demand suburbs in Sydney) and because these suburbs are quite small – meaning there’s only a limited supply of properties. Stier also said, “Not much supply comes up [because] they are considered premium suburbs.”

The surprising thing is that as the most in-demand Sydney suburb is Northwood, clearly, there are at least a few lucky Aussies who aren’t struggling with rising living costs because, according to realestate.com.au, the average house price in Northwood is a whopping $5,567,500…

The Controversial Plan To Improve The Socceroos
The Controversial Plan To Improve The Socceroos

The Socceroos did well just to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. But if we want to one day have a shot at winning a World Cup, we need to (drastically) improve the standard of the A-League.


There’s a controversial plan to ‘fix’ Australian football in the works. Some people are super excited about it, others are concerned it could impact some players’ livelihoods. Before we get into the plan, first, we need to explain the situation. The situation, as it currently stands, is that Australia is, as Optus puts it,  “currently irrelevant in a transfer market worth up to $10 BILLION.”

While, in 2021, countries like America and Japan had a transfer spend of $159.9 million and $31.2 million respectively (and had 37 and 24 players respectively at tier one clubs) Australia had a transfer spend of $0 (and four players at tier one clubs). As for the heavy weight countries like France, Spain, Germany and England, you can only imagine the transfer spend they would have racked up in 2021…

While you could argue Australia is actually punching above our weight, considering our non existent transfer market (that’s one of the reasons, actually, why there is some debate on how best to improve our situation without accidentally making things worse), there is a strong argument to say that it’s holding us back.

What is clear is that the golden years, when we had players like Viduka, Cahill and Kewell are over, and we are now, it seems, in a rebuilding phase. One proposed solution to improve the level of the Socceroos is to improve the level of the A-League.

One proposed way to improve the level of the A-League is the introduction of a domestic transfer system. This idea has divided opinion among stakeholders (primarily on how we go about doing it, and how best we can do it while still looking after our players, and our youth system, so that it doesn’t end up shooting us in the foot).

According to Optus Sport, the CEO of Football Australia, James Johnson, “believes this reform will create a free market that allows Australian football to tap into a global marketplace worth $8-10 billion, but the PFA and APL are not convinced, citing concerns that players could be priced out of the professional game and competitive balance.”

Basically, under the reform, our market is expected to become more like other football markets around the world. The main benefit believers in this project hope it will bring is that in allowing transfers, clubs will be able to buy more talent (thereby increasing the skill level of the A-League, and giving our homegrown talent stronger competition and making them better), raising the level and prestige of the A-League and A-League exports (who, come World Cup time, then come back to play for their country).

Comments next to Optus’ post. A popular suggestion for improving the A-League was introducing relegation…

The main drawback feared by those more hesitant about the idea, is that it could make the A-League less competitive (some clubs would inevitably do better than others and then money and talent would pool at the top) and potentially put some current players out of a job or get replaced.

Notably, the system is actually already in place, Optus reports, “after FA removed the fee cap that existed in all deals outside the A-League.”

Another big difference between the A-League and other leagues around the world is relegation – something Harry Kewell has commented on, saying: “We do not know what it is like to fail. Because you’ve always got next year, you’ve always got a job, you’re always safe.”

Who knows, maybe a little danger is just what Australian football needs to succeed? Only time (and future World Cup campaigns) will tell…

Australia recently qualified for their 5th consecutive World Cup following a 5-4 penalty shootout win over Peru. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will begin on Monday the 21st of November and end on Sunday the 18th of December.

Australia is in Group D. Group D comprises France, Australia, Denmark and Tunisia.

Air New Zealand Is Rolling Out Sleep Pods For Plucky Economy Travellers
Air New Zealand Is Rolling Out Sleep Pods For Plucky Economy Travellers

Air New Zealand is rolling out a much anticipated new feature, which is set to (for the moments you are in it) make flying economy basically as good as flying business, in 2024. As a cattle class connoisseur myself, I’d say it’s time to rejoice (and pray other airlines take Air New Zealand’s lead). Introducing: The Skynest.


Air New Zealand is rolling out bunk bed sleep stations in economy. Though those of you who always fly business might scoff at the idea (why not just pay a bit more and have a fully flat bed the whole time, you might argue), for those of us who usually fly economy, these ‘peasant pods’ (as we’re lovingly calling them) look like an awesome new feature (you can’t always afford to shell out on an upgrade to business).

These, the airline has announced, will be on its incoming Dreamliners (which are set to take flight in 2024). Each Dreamliner will be fitted with six beds. Passengers will be able to book these beds for a four-hour time slot on long haul flights. The process for booking is yet to be explained in full.

This bunk bed feature is being called Skynest. It is being introduced because customer feedback has been “overwhelmingly” positive, Air New Zealand says. Customers have indicated to the airline they value above all else sleep, comfort and space. The Skynest provides all these things in abundance.

Passengers on these new Dreamliners will also have access to food and drinks from a ‘sky pantry’ whenever they want, according to Sunrise.

General Manager of Customer Experience, Nikki Goodman said in 2020 of the Skynest (it’s been in the works for some time): “We see a future flying experience where an economy-class customer on long-haul flights would be able to book the Economy Skynest in addition to their Economy seat, get some quality rest and arrive at their destination ready to go. This is a game-changer on so many levels.”

“We expect other airlines will want to explore licensing the Economy Skynest from us just as they have with the Economy Skycouch.”

As for us, we’re just curious to hear how much it’s going to cost. But when you hit ‘the wall’ during a long haul flight in economy, we’d imagine quite a few people will be willing to cough up for a kip…

There will also be upgrades at the pointy end of the new Dreamliners, with the new jets featuring a new business class product (broken down into two sections: Business Premier, which will have individual quasi-private pods and Business Premier Luxe, which will have a sliding door for better privacy and space for two to eat).

Bryan Cranston Shares His Thoughts On Returning As Walter White
Bryan Cranston Shares His Thoughts On Returning As Walter White

Bryan Cranston, the Emmy-winning actor, recently spoke about what it was like reprising his iconic role, Walter White from Breaking Bad in the prequel series Better Call Saul.


Back in April, it was revealed that at some point during the final season of Better Call Saul, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul would make appearances as their beloved Breaking Bad characters, Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.

Currently, Walt and Jesse are yet to appear in Better Call Saul but there are only two more episodes left, which are set to air on the 11th and 18th of July, meaning we don’t have to wait too much longer to see Cranston and Paul’s cameos.

All details surrounding the cameos have been kept under tight wraps; we’re still not sure how long Walt and Jesse’s appearances will be, whether they’ll appear together – if so, why? Better Call Saul Season 6 is set in 2004, four years before Walt and Jesse teamed up to cook meth – and how they’ll fit into Better Call Saul’s plot.

Both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will reprise their Breaking Bad characters in the final episodes of Better Call Saul. Image Credits: AMC

However, Bryan Cranston recently spoke to Radio Times and while he didn’t give anything away about how (or why) Walt and Jesse appear in Better Call Saul, he did talk about what it was like to play Walt again – nine years after Breaking Bad ended – and how exciting it was to film the cameo in “secret”.

“It was [surreal]. Aaron Paul and I, we had to coordinate our schedules to make sure we were available when they were in production. So a year ago, April, is when we shot it. And because it was a separate section of us shooting the scene, I don’t know what actual episode it’s in. Because it wasn’t done in order.”

Bryan Cranston

RELATED: Why Shows Like Breaking Bad & Ozark Are So Addictive To Watch

“We were flown into New Mexico secretly and they created this shroud of privacy – we were sent right away to an Airbnb house that we were not allowed to leave. There was all this stuff going on, it was exciting! But also a secret and we kept it secret for a year. And then when Better Call Saul premiered they announced it, and Aaron and I said, ‘Oh, well, I guess we can talk about it now!’”

Hopefully, the final two episodes of Better Call Saul meet the high expectations fans have and Walt and Jesse’s cameos do the Breaking Bad characters justice. But alas, only time will tell.

Spectacular Photo Shows Why Everyone Should Visit Macedonia At Least Once
Spectacular Photo Shows Why Everyone Should Visit Macedonia At Least Once

A traveller’s incredible photo of a Macedonian lake has us wondering why more people don’t visit the historic region.


North Macedonia is a country in southeastern Europe. It borders Bulgaria to the east, Greece to the south, Serbia and Kosovo to the north, and Albania to the west. Macedonia is a historic piece of land. The ancient kingdom of Macedonia (sometimes called Macedon) was an intersection between Mediterranean and Balkan civilizations. A fascinating past and a many layered national identity.

The stunning Lake Ohrid and the historic town built next to it have put North Macedonia on the tourist trail, but there is so much more to North Macedonia than this. Mountains, food, cultural experiences, horse riding, hiking, swimming – you name it – there are all sorts of things to do in North Macedonia.

It’s a great place to escape the tourist masses too, as there isn’t yet the infrastructure for tourists that exists in many other countries. It lets you feel like you are walking your own path. And the locals are known to be helpful (says Lonely Planet, anyway).

Speaking of North Macedonia’s charms, Reddit user u/koala908 took to Reddit’s popular r/travel community on Monday to share a wanderlust-inducing photo of Lake Ohrid. Alongside the photo (which you can see below), u/koala908 wrote: “Fell in love with Macedonia during our 6-day trip to Skopje and Lake Ohrid.”

Image via Reddit

Comments in response to the video included remarks like: “Thanks for sharing! North Macedonia is high on my list of places I wanna visit. Did you venture a bit out of Ohrid town? The kayaking in the Matka Canyon looks like a wonderful experience!”

“You have to visit!” the poster of the thread responded. “Yes, we went to the monastery ‚Sveti Naum‘ (45min drive) and had a look around. I highly recommend going there and taking a boat tour. The water was crystal clear and refreshing, especially in the heat.”

“The kayaking was fantastic. In my opinion a thousand times better than the hike, which you can do there as well.”

Other comments included: “Wow! I have an ‘across Europe’ trip dream and Macedonia is a small piece, maybe need to add some extra days and do more research these pics look amazing!”

Others recommended you spend less time in Skopje because apparantly a lot of the buildings look ‘fake’ (or are less historic. One wrote: “I really did not enjoy Skopje, or to be fair I did not enjoy the fake/new part. The Muslim side with the old mosques, bazaars, tea shops was very intriguing. Granted, I was there about 10 years ago, so I dno how it shaped up in recent years. But Matko and Ohrid were actually wonderful and also surprisingly affordable – very much the highlight of my trip back then. These pics are beautiful though.”

There you have it. If you’ve been waiting to plan a trip to North Macedonia, this could be your sign.

Hasbulla Australia Tour Dates Announced
Hasbulla Australia Tour Dates Announced

Hasbulla has announced he will be coming to Australia, via management company ‘The One Hour Group,’ and the all important tour dates have now been announced.


Yes, Australia, it’s time to brace yourself for the arrival of ‘Mini Khabib,’ and perhaps start rethinking your home security, as the 19-year-old social media sensation from Dagestan will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with.

Dates for Hasbulla’s tour of Australia have been announced, with just two dates in Sydney and two in Melbourne.

With your Hasbulla Meet & Greet ticket, you will also receive a “professional photo of you and Hasbulla, a life size cardboard cut out of Hasbulla and a physical copy of the tour poster.” What the official details don’t state, is that you will likely also head home with a black eye if you make say anything Hasbulla doesn’t take kindly to.

However, it should also be noted that Hasbulla won’t meet with female fans. The Hour Group says this is due to “Hasbulla’s personal and cultural beliefs.” Female guests can still attend the meet and greet, they just can’t have a photo taken with the man himself.

The official Hasbulla tour dates are:

  • Monday 29th August – Le Montage, Sydney
  • Tuesday 30th August – Le Montage, Sydney
  • Wednesday 31st August – Timberyard, Melbourne
  • Thursday 1st September – Timberyard, Melbourne

Tickets for the Hasbulla tour go on sale Thursday 30th June at 9am AEST. You can secure your tickets by clicking either of the links below. Prices have yet to be confirmed.

The One Hour Group has previously held live tours in Australia for some of the biggest names in sports, including Shaquille O’Neal and, speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald, Chris Tamplin, co-founder of The Hour Group, said We will also be touring Shaquille O’Neal at the same time, so we will be bringing Shaq and Hasbulla together for one day only.”

Whether you’ll get the chance to see Shaq at your meet and greet date, remains to be seen.

The Hour Group previously teased Hasbulla’s arrival Down Under, and at the time, comments on the Instagram post were in support of Hasbulla coming to Australia, with many users chiming in with, “The king is on his way”; “All hail the king!”; along with a number of flame emojis.

Despite his often fiery demeanour, Hasbulla has rarely conducted interviews. In fact, he only conducted his first-ever face-to-face interview earlier this year, when he sat down with Caleb Pressley from Barstool Sports.

Adelaide Apartment Contradicts ‘Don’t Sh*t Where You Eat’ Adage
Adelaide Apartment Contradicts ‘Don’t Sh*t Where You Eat’ Adage

A listing for a studio apartment located in North Adelaide must be taking the piss (pun intended) as it’s asking for a ridiculous price; especially ridiculous considering the studio has a bathroom – with clear walls! – in between the kitchen and living area.


People across the globe are feeling the pressure of rising living costs but this newly listed rental property truly takes the cake. Located in North Adelaide, a studio (that was once a singular room in a house but has since been renovated to be a private studio) is currently available for $420 per week.

Now, this pricing is outrageous for two main reasons. Firstly, there are multiple sizable two-bedroom apartments currently available to rent for the same price in the same North Adelaide area.

As you can see the glass walls in this tiny bathroom are slightly frosted but not enough to completely obscure what someone using the bathroom is doing… Image Credit: realestate.com.au

Secondly, this studio has a bathroom – that provides no privacy whatsoever thanks to clear glass walls – smack bang in the middle of the living room/kitchen area.

The property’s listing says, “​​This spacious, fully-furnished upstairs studio offers the lifestyle that everyone deserves.” And what lifestyle is that? Not being able to invite friends over because otherwise, they’d either not be able to go to the bathroom or would have to deal with you knowing exactly what they were doing in there? Yikes.

Obviously, people on Twitter are having a field day with the rental listing.

One Twitter user wrote, “[I] can almost smell the nostalgic combination of food and poop aromas intermingling like a missed toilet stop on a car trip with a toddler,” while another Tweeted, “It just should be like $100/week, max. If they can get $400/week for it, this housing crisis is even worse than I thought.”

Clearly, Australia’s insane property prices are here to stay if an apartment where the kitchen literally has a view of the toilet can fetch over $400 a week in rent. Whoever said ‘don’t shit where you eat’ obviously never lived in a place like this…

Australia’s Top Restaurants Experiencing Insane EOFY Booking Boom
Australia’s Top Restaurants Experiencing Insane EOFY Booking Boom

After being starved of fine dining experiences during COVID, it seems Australians are desperate to eat at the country’s best restaurants once more – and with the end of the financial year (EOFY) looming, it’s particularly hard to get a table…


In what’s sure to be welcome news for the hospitality sector, restaurant bookings are at an all-time high Down Under ahead of EOFY on the 30th of June (that’s this Thursday for those of you who are never early on their taxes).

This is partly because restaurants that never used to take bookings have adjusted to doing so because of The Spicy Cough, but also because there’s unprecedented demand for eating out, especially when it comes to haute cuisine.

DMARGE spoke with Thomas Pash – the CEO of Hunter St. Hospitality, one of the country’s top restaurant groups – who confirmed that Sydney institutions Rockpool Bar & Grill and Saké are seeing bookings for private dining rooms up 30-40% on pre-COVID levels. Other restaurants across Australia’s capital cities are experiencing similarly strong booking numbers.

“There is certainly a big appetite for EOFY celebrations this year and a stronger appetite than there was prior to the pandemic,” Pash says. (We love his pun, too.)

Sushi tasting at Saké.

“After several years when EOFY celebrations were on hold due to lockdowns, corporate groups are coming back strong,” he elaborates. “It’s a way for businesses to thank their teams and divisions for their hard work over the past few tough years.”

We also reckon there’s a bit of ‘use it or lose it’ marketing spend from more than a few businesses ahead of EOFY… Either way, it’s a good thing. Restaurants have done it tough over the last two years.

Qantas Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner: Economy Class Review
Qantas Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner: Economy Class Review

On a recent trip home from Europe, I flew home on a Qantas Dreamliner in economy class. Here is a breakdown of my flight, and a review of my seat.


Route: Flight QF2 London to Darwin (and then on to Sydney).
Date: 19th/20th June, 2022.
Aircraft: Qantas is using a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner jet, which is comfortably large given the long journey we are about to undertake.
Loyalty Scheme: Qantas Frequent Flyer, part of the OneWorld Alliance
Class: Economy. Seat 52 C
Duration: 16 1/2 hours from London to Darwin. A 2-hour stopover. Final 4 hour, 15 minute flight to Sydney.

Qantas International Check In

Checking in isn’t so bad. There’s a bit of a line in security, but this is to be expected. I get through to the gate with plenty of time. I go to the kiosk near the boarding gate and get a cold Peroni. Life is good. There’s a (muted) TV. I watch an interview between some news outlet and one of Russia’s leaders trying to justify their invasion of Ukraine. It’s surprisingly gripping. I almost want to wait in line longer so I can keep watching. Eventually, we are ushered onto the flight.

Qantas International Baggage Allowance

The usual – one big one for the hold, one small one for the cabin. Check Qantas’ website if you want exact weights.

Taking Off

I sit down, glad to be in an aisle seat (on my journey to Europe I was in a middle seat, trapped next to a guy with little regard for personal space, and who snored). On this flight I’m next to a mum and her son. He seems well behaved and she seems like the sort of person who has good arm rest etiquette. Awesome. I start listening to a podcast, studiously ignoring the safety demonstration and downloading a good supply of music before putting my phone on airplane mode.

Half an hour later, almost half way through my podcast, I look up, puzzled as to why we are yet to move. I shug, switch over to ‘2PAC – THE 5 BEST SONGS EVER’, and continue pretending I don’t exist (how good are noise-cancelling headphones). I get through about three of the songs, and then curiously lift one of the headphones off my ears. Apparently, something went wrong with the engine check so now we have to return to the terminal to check it again. Great. Another reasonably long wait later and we are told the engine is fine, but we have now missed our time slot to fly out.

Great.

We wait another half an hour or so, before being shuttled back to the terminal, going through security (with a passport check and everything) and then recollecting our luggage. By this time it’s gone midnight. We return to the check-in desk to await further instructions. We are told to get a taxi to a hotel in Brentford, which Qantas is putting us up in, and come back the next day at 11am (for a 2pm flight).

I do as I’m bid, wait another half an hour or so in line to get a cab, sleep in the hotel, and come back the next morning. I enjoy a free meal voucher courtesy of Qantas and eat some weird vegetarian chicken/tomato pastry things from Caffe Nero. I buy a couple of books and kill time.

Finally, it’s boarding time once again. Take two. This time everything goes smoothly and we take off (more or less) as scheduled. Having said that, due to the airport’s busy schedule, there is still a half an hour or so delay.

In The Air

I enjoy the headrest feature which negates the need for a neck pillow, although unfortunately (probably due to my stupid refusal to ever listen to flight attendant’s takeoff spiels) I don’t realise it’s there until well into the flight. I listen to a bunch of podcasts and a bunch of movies before checking out the in flight entertainment system.

Qantas In-Flight Entertainment System

I watch Notting Hill, and then start to watch Euphoria (I don’t have Binge at home so I figure this is my chance). I end up turning Euphoria off after the first episode because I feel bad the kid a couple of seats down might see it and become corrupted by all the drug and sex scenes. I switch to Succession. I manage to lose my in-flight headphones at some point and can’t be bothered to ask the flight attendants for a new pair. I continue to watch Succession with subtitles.

The Bathrooms

Despite my best efforts to dirty them (joking), they get kept reasonably clean during the flight. I’m not a fan of stuffing my fingers into the bins to make sure all the paper goes down, so I’m one of those selfish bastards who pokes most of it in, but leaves a bit sticking out for the next person. Despite this, the toilets are always pretty clean when I visit.

The Teeth Brushing Experience

I go to the bathroom, only to realise I have forgotten my bottle of water (and I don’t fancy rinsing my teeth in the sink). I then traipse back to my seat and then back to the bathroom, fielding off (as I imagine them) suspicious stares of other passengers who must be imagining I have explosive diarrhea or a restless leg.

RELATED: The Hidden Benefits Of Business-Class Economy Passengers Have No Idea About

The Seat

The Qantas Dreamliner cabin feels less crowded than my Qatar Airways flight a few weeks prior (it is a 3-3-3 configuration in economy as opposed to Qatar’s 3-4-3 which I flew out on). In terms of seat comfort: it feels more or less the same (though I am very impressed with the built in head rest neck pillow as I am someone who always forgets my neck pillow).

The Sleepless Bit

I try really hard to sleep for a time, to no avail. This is pretty standard for me. I eventually get an hour or two’s kip in, but it’s not exactly REM sleep (more like a knock off H&M).

Hitting ‘The Wall’

You know how marathon runners hit a point in the race where they feel they can’t continue? I have a theory that most people hit this point in a flight. For me it tends to come after I wake up from what I think is a decent sleep, only to realise that there is half the flight (or more) still to go. This happens to me on this flight. But again: pretty standard, and I get the same thing on 14 hour flights to Dubai. So it’s not the end of the world. Back to the podcasts and music I go…

The Food

I always eat the food I’m given on a plane, because I’ve paid for it (and because it helps break up the boredom). I have a suspicion microwave meals don’t agree with my stomach though because it almost always gives me cramps (on basically all airlines). Other than that, the food was very nice; very Qantas.

I can’t remember exactly what I ate, but I think the London to Darwin flight was either chicken or beef with rice, and some lovely snacks. There was also some kind of meal with sausages (and another with polenta) in there too. There is also a handy button on the touch screen so you can remind yourself what the menu options are.

Health

Everyone has to wear a mask.

Service

The flight attendants are all very nice, and very friendly. They also coped very well with the cancelled flight, and put passenger’s minds at ease to the best they could.

Jetlag

I’m still very jetlagged, but I don’t consider that an airline’s responsibility, really.

RELATED: The Secret CIA Diet For Avoiding Jetlag Every Time

Verdict

Pretty good. Shame about the cancellation though. I guess that can happen on any flight, on any carrier. And at least with Qantas they look after you when things go wrong (it’s not quite so easy when this situation unfolds on you with a budget carrier).
