Top videos: Milkshakes, rogue child and Sydney’s AquaDuck
An Olympic legend reminded everyone just how dominant she is this week, while a Matildas legend made everyone emotional at a friendly match.
Milkshakes were thrown, Sydney was drowning and a politician took his son to work when he should have kept him at home.
Starliner lifts off
This week, Boeing’s new Starliner capsule and an inaugural two-member crew safely docked at the International Space Station.
The Starliner lifted off from Florida, with an Atlas V rocket strapped to it.
Another milkshake for Farage
Eurosceptic Nigel Farage was hit with another milkshake this week while on the campaign trail.
The woman who threw the drink over Farage has been charged. He was first hit with a milkshake in 2019.
Touching Tillies moment
Everyone got emotional this week when Australian tennis great Evonne Goolagong Cawley presented Lydia Williams, a Noongar woman, with a traditional animal skin cloak.
At Sydney’s Accor Stadium, 76,798 were there to applaud Williams, while playing China in a friendly. She will be hanging up her gloves after the Paris Olympics.
Sydney’s downpour
Sydney copped a downpour on Saturday to mark the first day of winter, so much that it looked as though one of the city’s streets was a river.
One person spotted a tram in the city and noted it looked more like an AquaDuck.
Gymnastic magic
Just in case you forgot that Simone Biles is the best gymnast of all time, here is her floor routine at the US Championships.
She won her ninth national title ahead of the Olympics next month.
@nbcolympics SIMONE BILES‼️ She leads the women’s all-around competition after night one with a score of 60.450. #XfinityChamps #gymnastics #floor #simonebiles #usa
Church is HOT TO GO!
Chappell Roan is taking over and her catchy tunes are being played everywhere. These church bells are proof of that.
It sounded like this church in the US was emulating Roan’s hit HOT TO GO!, which is only appropriate, given it is Pride Month.
@healthpolicyprincess HAPPY P R I D E @chappell roan 🌈🌈🌈🌈 #pride #nc #hottogo #chappelroan #pridemonth
Laura Jeanne and Dern
Reece Witherspoon not only exposed her nickname for Laura Dern, but reminded everyone that “Reece” isn’t her real first name, Laura Jeanne is.
Witherspoon reunited with her Big Little Lies co-star Nicole Kidman for a chat, where the Aussie admitted she hates the nickname “Dern”.

Rogue child
A “take your kid to work” day didn’t go as planned this week. US Congressman John Rose took his son to the House to give his take on Donald Trump’s recent conviction.
His son sat behind him and pulled a bunch of silly faces. Apparently Rose had told his son to “smile for his little brother”.
Bears stop by
A mother bear took her babies around to someone’s home, just to say hello.
It looks as though the bear family was on someone’s porch and the cubs were content having a look around and a sniff.

Baby Beaver
A very cute baby beaver was seen swimming along in the water, but then found itself in a spot of trouble when rushing water trapped it.
The beaver is probably fine, it just has a lot to learn.
