TIME FOR REFLECTION: The Bondi to Bronte coastal walk in Sydney’s east is well-known as a great place to be seen, now the local council is ensuring walkers can also see themselves. “After much community consultation, we’re pleased to complete the installation of more than 80 full-length mirrors on the 4 kilometre stretch of picturesque coastline,” says Waverley Mayor Rob Draper. The move has left fitness enthusiasts rejoicing. “It’s great because I bump into so many people I know on the path,” says Bondi to Bronte regular Hannah Tunks-Marello. “Before the mirrors, I used to get really insecure about bad…

HOLIDAY HELL: It was meant to be the party of a lifetime: sun, sand and fun with her closest friends after finishing the HSC. But for one recent graduate of Kambala school in Sydney’s east, Schoolies Week on the Gold Coast has ended in tears, only hours after it began. “I just assumed there’d be at least one Sundays Bondi in Surfers Paradise,” Maddie Grafton-Burns told our reporter. “How can a place call itself ‘Paradise’ without having those cinnamon scrolls? It’s an absolute joke!” The 18 year old’s friends attempted to console her by suggesting alternative micro bakery-options, but Ms…
Read MoreNSW Health announce new plant-based, biodegradable alternative to help people stop vaping
SMOKE AND MIRRORS: The state government has today launched a breakthrough initiative to help combat vaping. “It’s a brand-new product called ‘cigarettes.’” says a spokesperson for NSW Health. Cigarettes use tobacco, a leafy plant which naturally contains nicotine. “It’s a more natural, analogue alternative and it’s better for the environment,” says the spokesperson. With vaping levels reaching record highs, the state government says now is the time to act, offering a packet of 25 cigarettes for $41. However critics are pointing out the drawbacks of cigarettes. “They only come in two flavours, original and menthol,” says one consumer advocate. “Plus…

CLEAN EATING: Iconic Double Bay restaurant Margaret has quietly introduced Ozempic to its menu this week, for people looking for a high-end dining experience, without the burden of actually consuming a meal. “We noticed a growing number of guests booking tables, taking photos of the food, and sending it back untouched,” said one staff member. “So we thought, why not streamline the experience?” The pioneering move comes as eastern suburbs locals increasingly shun food in preparation for the hottest months of the year. “It’s perfect,” said one regular from Bellevue Hill. “I can socialise, pretend I’m having lunch, and still…

STAYCATION: The iconic Watsons Bay Hotel has announced an exclusive Schoolies Week alternative, catering to local parents who feel Surfers Paradise or Byron Bay is too far away and too unsafe. “‘Schoolies at Watsons Bay promises all the excitement of the traditional week away, without the risks of budget accommodation, low quality food or rowdy bogan behaviour,” says event organiser Olivia Cartright. “And if something does go wrong, it’s only a quick Uber ride home.” The week-long event, beginning on November 22, will be closed to non-school leavers, as well as anyone who lives outside of the eastern suburbs. “Every…

ALL TALK: Local woman Maggie Phillips was caught off guard today by a chance encounter with old friend Karen Johnson, who exclaimed “OMG, I haven’t seen you in ages. I’ve missed you!” It comes despite Karen Johnson not replying to calls or texts for the better part of a decade. “Her saying that was a bit rich,” Maggie Phillips told DBT. “Especially as I texted her only last week to say hi, without any reply.” “She hugged me as though she was still my best friend. All while I had flashbacks of the ‘read’ notifications on my messages.” Maggie Phillips…

CRANBROOK COUTURE: Like their fathers before them, a group of eastern suburbs private school students have marked the end of HSC exams in the only way they know. They made a beeline for The Golden Sheaf hotel in their traditional dress: A white linen shirt and beige chinos. “It’s a celebration,” one of the students explained, adjusting the collar of his linen shirt, which perfectly matched the attire of at least a dozen other young men in the vicinity. “We’ve worked hard all year, and now it’s time to unwind in style.” As the evening progressed, the group was seen…
