Childhood friends switched at birth

Childhood friends Luke Monias and Norman Barkman recently discovered they were switched at birth over 40 years ago!

Luke and Norman were born on the same day in 1975 at the same hospital in Canada. They were raised in the same small community and have been close friends throughout their lives. People used to joke that they looked alike and switched at birth and the pair always laughed it off but as they grew older the jokes kept coming and encouraged them to find out for sure.

DNA results proved that the men had been switched at birth. Now they would like some answers from their families.

Taylor's score is the highest scored by a touring player in Australia, surpassing Reginald Foster's record of 287 in 1903.

Taylor batted a day and a half racking up almost nine and a half hours at the crease.

His 290 included 43 fours.

 

 

 

 


Lights for Paris

Paris may often be referred to as the 'City of Lights' but since the attacks on Friday, the 13th it is the rest of the world that offers light to Paris.

Historical monuments and buildings around the world - including our own Sky Tower - have been lit up in the colours of the French flag in a show of support and love for Paris.

Many people lost their lives in the attacks around the French capital on Friday night and many world leaders had offered their support and encouragement to France.

Along with the many monuments lit up in French colours, Facebook is supporting Paris by encouraging users to turn their profile pictures into the colours of the flag: red, blue and white.
