HANGING WITH OUR HALFSHELL HOMIES… Ange and Bailey attended a special screening of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in Sydney! Avani and Ange are ready to go underground and explore!

Carol Danvers (a.k.a Captain Marvel, played by Brie Larson) has reclaimed her identity and is standing strong on her own. She unexpectedly ends up having to deal with a destabilising universe, leading her through a wormhole and an intense amount of chaos with her powers! Carol’s powers somehow get connected with the powers of her niece, S.A.B.E.R. astronaut, Captain Monica Rambeau, and her number one fan, Kamala Khan (our lovely Ms. Marvel – we’ve seen her room and she’s defs the ultimate Captain Marvel stan).

WILD AND WACKY Believe it or not, but these unique creatures actually exist in the wild… The ‘forest giraffe’, better known as the okapi is the mystical mix between a deer and a zebra. Straight out of a fairytale! The blue glaucus goes by many names – sea swallow, blue angel or blue dragon. Its bright blue colour helps it camouflage in the water. Ouch, it is Aussie’s thorny devil! A lizard who can change colour based on the weather and defend itself with all its spikes and horns! The lowland streaked tenrec from Madagascar kinda looks like a mole. It’s soooo cute, but can be super dangerous too. Beware…. Hi TG, This is my pleco fish, Mr Plecostomus! He loves his veggie wafers and scaring the other fish in…

Hi Alberta, which five emojis would you use to describe Spooky Files? Which character are you most like? A mix between Billie (Bert's stepsister) and Xena. Billie, because we dislike the same things. Xena, because I like interrogating, discovering and being organized. I also say what I believe upfront like Xena. Xena is an inventor. Which invention can you not live without? A toaster. I love toast, it gives me energy and makes me happy. I like Vegemite, peanut butter with raspberry or avocado on it. I like that you can have many varied things on toast. Were there any pranks on set or funny bloopers that you can share? One time during a scene where two other people were talking, a fly flew onto my nose and was crawling…

Macca had the most clean sheets of the tournament with four – meaning she stopped four teams from scoring any points. SOME OF THEM ALSO PLAY IN ENGLAND. Ten of the Matildas play in the Women’s Super League! Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord are even on the same team – Arsenal. If you want to watch Sam Kerr score more incredible goals, you’ll find her at Chelsea. THEY HAVE PREGAME RITUALS! To fuel up the night before a game, most of the players sit down to a bowl of spaghetti bolognese or pasta. They also love to listen to ‘Strawberry Kisses’ by Nikki Webster to pump themselves up.…
