Farewell to a trailblazing Australian; a hirsute achievement; listening to plants cry; and a row into the record books.

Grand Prix fever in Melbourne; the world’s deepest fish; arresting an alligator; and a most unfair school sports race.

An inquiry into ADHD; Luke Skywalker’s air raid app; a massive gold nugget find; and a crime-fighting burrito

Australia’s about to get bigger; the female Formula One team; new emojis released; and mammoth meatballs on the menu.

New names for Victoria schools; Super Mario wins ice sculpture comp; Fake photos flood the internet; and Mr Pickles the tortoise dad.

A climate deal in Canberra; Australia’s amazing new species; an earth-sized telescope; and a challenge to California’s candy.

Niceness wins in NSW election; Tornadoes tear through Mississippi; 3D-printed rocket has lift-off; and a zebra trots through traffic.

An emotional day in Canberra; the seeds of life in space; beach rescue bravery; and learning leadership from a horse.

Big boost for Paralympians; the crocodile that came for lunch; a surprising artistic discovery; and here comes Lizzo!

Kindness makes a comeback; Japan’s pepper grinder obsession; Mr Beast alive and kicking; and get ready for Ramadan.
