Look Up Tonight! A Stunning Planetary Alignment that happens once every 100 years is Happening!

Don’t miss your chance to witness a breathtaking celestial event! A rare planetary alignment is lighting up the sky, and it’s one of the last opportunities to catch it this year. Here’s how to enjoy the show.

When to Watch: Head outside after sunset and look toward the southwestern horizon as the sky darkens.

What to See, Venus and Saturn will be shining close together, with Venus outshining Saturn as the brightest spot.

Jupiter will glow just above them, lighting up the sky as the second brightest point.

Mars will be impossible to miss near the eastern horizon, glowing with its iconic red hue.

Bonus for Stargazers: If you have binoculars or a telescope, you can also spot Uranus near Jupiter and Neptune close to Venus and Saturn. This is your chance to see the solar system’s wonders in one stunning display. Grab a blanket, head outside, and enjoy the cosmic show!

Hi Everyone,

This March Dr Rob is taking part in the March On challenge to support veterans. He has set the goal of conquering 96km this March to support our veterans and their families.

Right now, veterans aged between 25 - 44 are 2.7 times more at risk of su***de than other members of our community.

This statistic is devastating, so I'm taking on this challenge to fund Soldier On's mental health services and programs to help prevent veteran su***de and save lives.

It is a deeply personal cause to Dr Rob and we would all be grateful for your support.

Please sponsor my 96km challenge now and together, we will help our heroes march on.

Thank you for your support,

Robert.

Moreover it can be the difference between arriving feeling fresh and ready for the festivities and feeling bent, broken and in some level of pain and discomfort.

To help you 'survive the drive' we have created our 'Car Posture Form' to give you a step by step guide to optimising your travel posture:
