A national drought summit in Canberra comes up with a way to help farmers into the future, why computer games could be vital for classrooms of the future, more evidence that you really should listen to your parentals when they tell you to eat your veggies, and the innovative way Japan's trying to get more visitors to their temples.

The EU decides to pull the pin on single-use plastics, we meet a boy who's looking after his dad with such love that you may be reaching for the tissues, true sportsmanship on display at the Aussie Invictus games, and the English robber who has a 'friendly' doppelganger...

Why lots of Tassie schoolkids got an early mark today, the plan that might make forgetting to put the bins out slightly more complicated, kids in WA clown around in the name of self-improvement, and the sea lion that chose the exact wrong place to take a nap.

A group of kids has been moved to Nauru to Australia to get the medical treatment a lot of doctors say they need, we find out who won the NAPLAN (even though it's not a competition), the longest sea bridge in the world is unveiled, and what happens when something's been under constructed for nearly a century and a half without its paperwork in order?!

Our PM says sorry to people in Australia who were let down by the institutions that were meant to protect them when they were kids, why 23 kids read books upside down next to toilets in a park today, the headless chicken monster lurking in the cold corners of our deep blue sea, and the problems with playing dress-up games with chickens.

Voters get ready to head to the polls to see who'll rule the roost in our ex-PM's electorate, the weird and wonderful gadgets and gizmos of the World Robot Expo, the long-lost GoPro pics found off the coast of the sunshine state, and the only woman in the world who doesn't regret leaving her door unlocked and having strangers traipse through her house.

The brand spankin' new $50 note has officially been released, and it's got some groovy new upgrades! History books might need a re-write after some ancient graffiti was found on a Pompeii wall, an 83 puppeteer (whose characters you've definitely seen before) decides to call it quits at the ripe old age of 83, and the US state with an... original... approach to tourism.

We say farewell to the guy who founded Clean Up Australia Day, the royals spend a day in regional New South Wales, robots inch closer to world domination, one of our favourite authors makes the case for school libraries, and keeping an eye-out for cane toads venturing into our capital.

More calls to get kids off Nauru, a mental health org for young Aussies gets funding boost, an exciting announcement from the royals down under, and the funnest party ever that didn't actually exist.

Some recently wed royals touch down in Oz for our first Invictus Games, why washing your hands is more important than you think, when police get involved in your arts and crafts (and you know you've finally gone too far), and the big blue balls that are the latest craze in fine dining.
