NATURE DOSING
Has anyone ever told you to get outside and touch grass? Well, now that person might be your doctor. Alison Hill is the director of the People and Parks Foundation, which has come up with some nature dosing guidelines that she says have lots of health benefits. Last week, the guidelines were officially endorsed by the Royal Australian College of GPs. Now, nature dosing isn't about taking the place of normal medicines. Instead, it'll work alongside other treatments.
JAPAN EARTHQUAKE
Central Japan has been rocked by a strong earthquake over the weekend. According to Japan's Meteorological Agency, the quake measured in at magnitude 5.7 in the Shizuoka Prefecture, shattering windows and making a mess of shops. 22 people have been injured, and authorities are instructing locals to stock up on supplies of water, food and batteries as they warn of more possible strong quakes in the coming week.
RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD CUP
The Kangaroos have reached the Rugby League World Cup finals after a massive victory over Samoa! Reece Walsh got himself a hat-trick and player of the match, helping to seal the deal 44-12. Meanwhile, our Jillaroos have qualified for a fifth consecutive World Cup final! After overcoming an early scare, they were able to defeat Fiji 30-14.
AFLW
The Melbourne Demons have booked their spot in the AFLW preliminary finals! While the Geelong Cats came out with a bang, the Dees booted the last 5 goals of the game to steal a thrilling 56-52 win! Also making it through to the prelims, North Melbourne's Kangaroos were dominant against the Carlton Blues, and snagged the win 49-13.
RAHEIM BROWN JR
Finally, to one last massive win, this time for the Adelaide 36ers; specifically, 16-year-old Raheim Brown Junior. It was the teen's debut, and he hit a fairy-tale 3-pointer in the last moment, rubbing salt into the Illawarra Hawks' wound with the final score being 106-78.
SAILING KID
Finally, today, we're going to meet Leo, who's a 12-year-old sailing champion from Darwin. After taking to the water for the first time only 4 years ago, he's already won the national championships three times! Both his dad and grandad are also sailors, but there's more than just sailing genes involved here. Leo's been putting in the hours to refine his skills, juggling school with time on the water, practising positioning, race starts and reading the wind. He's now got his sights set on winning gold again at the next nationals, and then hopefully representing Australia on the big stage, or ocean, I guess!
