This week, an ousted politician sat down for a highly anticipated interview while a beloved Tasmanian figure was up to no good.
Meanwhile, Cyclone Jasper didn’t get in the way of people in Queensland enjoying a drink at their local, and a very special “sisterhood” reunited.
Barron Falls after Jasper
This shocking before and after of Barron Falls is almost too drastic to believe.
The videos were taken just 10 days apart, after Jasper tore through Far North Queensland.

Yacht Club pop-up
Even Jasper couldn’t kill the mood for people in Queensland.
Hotel Euramo has been rebranded to Euramo Yacht Club, after locals gathered there for a drink, taking their boats instead of their cars.
@10newsfirst Not even record-breaking floodwaters could dampen these far North Queenslanders’ spirits. Despite the flood carnage unfolding around them thanks to ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper, these locals have gathered by boat at their local pub to share a drink. This small country pub, 155 km south of Cairns, has undergone a rebrand over the weekend as floods continue to devastate large parts of the city. Locals are now calling ‘Hotel Euramo’ the ‘Euramo Yacht Club’, hopping in their dinghies to grab a beer at their local watering hole. #Cairns #flood #Cyclone #CycloneJasper #TropicalCyclone #Queensland #Australia #crazy #Queenslandflood #Queenslandfloods #10newsfirst
Iceland volcano erupts
After weeks of intense earthquake activity, a volcano in Iceland has finally erupted.
It is likely nearby towns will be spared, with lava flowing from the opposite direction, Reuters reported.

Neil the Seal, again
Neil the seal is still at it down in Tasmania.
Instead of lying in front of cars and on people’s doorsteps, it seems he has decided to thump anything in his path.

The highly anticipated Ziwe interview with disgraced former congressman George Santos was released this week.
Santos was expelled from Congress just weeks ago for lying and fraud, and he’s since been making bank on Cameo.

The sisterhood reunites
To celebrate America Ferrera‘s role in Barbie, she reunited with her cast mates from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Ferrera met Blake Lively, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel when filming the iconic movie in 2004 and the group has reportedly remained close since.
Screaming pug
This little pug was quite literally screaming after he woke up from surgery.
The vet assured his human that he was in no pain and it seemed as though he was able to enjoy some nice head scratches in the end.

Bin goes flying
A recycling bin in Perth went flying through the sky, thanks to a huge gust of wind.
The yellow bin flew to the other side of the road, but according to Nine News, the owners are still searching for it.

Bears go fishing
A bear fishing near a waterfall fumbled what would have been a very good catch.
A number of bears were spotted in the water trying to get their claws on some salmon.
@karphotography Brown bears fishing for salmon at the falls. What a cool sight! #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #video #photography #outside #outdoors #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature #adventure #adventure #alaska #bear #brownbear
