Cars, drums and 2am kebabs: How Jim and Adam became ‘mates at first sight’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jim Hull, 57, is a mechanic and motorsport driver, while his mate, Adam Morris, 47, is a professional drummer, DJ and motoring enthusiast. They host a popular YouTube channel that reviews second-hand cars. Adam: I met Jim about 20 years ago at a drum shop in Newcastle, NSW, where I worked. A mutual friend brought him in and we got talking about cars. I don’t want to say it was love at first sight, but definitely mates at first sight. We’d see each other around. I was the drummer in dozens of ban

Each week, Good Weekend’s how-to column shares expert advice on how to navigate some of modern life’s big – and small – challenges. This week: how to stop worrying about your health. Last year, I had pancreatic cancer, mesothelioma, a myocardial infarction and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. I also had plantar fasciitis. In the end, my long-suffering GP assured me that I actually had none of the above (with the exception of plantar fasciitis), but that I do have the worst case of Illness Anxiety Diso
‘I’m not ready to die yet’: The heartbreaking phone call Max made to his best mate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Max Benaud, 34, runs an old butcher’s shop in rural NSW that he bought with his mate, lamb farmer Wal Stranger, 30. But their paddock-to-plate dream would be interrupted by a shattering diagnosis. MAX: Wal and I met in 2019 in Sydney working in export sales for a Japanese company that owns abattoirs. I thought “Aussie farmer” straight away: he spoke in a certain way. If I said, “Mate, it’s raining outside,” he’d say, “True”. Everything was “True” this and “True” that. I’m from the NSW Southern H
‘You can’t afford to be cocky’: The unusual sport that brought Ashleigh and Blake together (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Timber-mill worker Blake Marsh, and his wife, Ashleigh, a housekeeping supervisor, both 33, are competitive woodchoppers. They’re also parents to Harrison, 6, and Scarlett, 4. Blake: We met at the Sydney Royal Easter Show about 14 years ago. She had a boyfriend at the time, but I thought she was hot – I liked her smile and she has very cute dimples – so I added her to Facebook. A couple of years later, we saw each other again in New Zealand, where there’s a competition every day from Boxing Day

Read excerpt
Each week, Good Weekend’s how-to column shares expert advice on how to navigate some of modern life’s big – and small – challenges. This week: How to nail a first kiss. My first kiss was with Sandra Thomas in a stormwater pipe beneath Hillview Street in Woy Woy, NSW. We were 13. Many years later, we caught up and she told me – rather uncharitably – that it had been like kissing “a Victa lawnmower”. I really don’t know what she’d been expecting, but can I help it if I have a freakishly flexible m
