The Run It Straight Challenge, a viral collision sport where two large athletes run at each other at speeds exceeding 25 kilometres per hour, has evolved from an online trend into a state championship event called Run Nation, which sold over 5,000 tickets in Sydney. Neurologists are warning about the catastrophic risks of high-impact head injuries, undetected brain bleeds, and second impact syndrome from repeated collisions. Medical experts are calling for the activity to be banned following a death in New Zealand last year linked to the challenge.

The Artful Dodger is a global hit Disney Plus series inspired by Oliver Twist, set in the fictional Australian colony of Port Victory in the 1850s. The show follows former pickpocket Jack Dawkins who reinvented himself as a surgeon, featuring a largely Australian cast including Susie Porter, Maya Mitchell and Lucy Rose Leonard. The second season was filmed in Sydney's inner west, with elaborate period costumes, sets and props recreating 19th century colonial Australia.

A tropical low is building off Queensland's north coast with a low chance of developing into a cyclone this week. The Bureau of Meteorology warns that millions of Queenslanders should prepare for several days of widespread heavy rain, thunderstorms and potential flash flooding, with some areas expected to receive more than 90 millimetres. The severe weather is forecast to intensify from Thursday through the weekend, particularly affecting western, northern and southeastern parts of the state.
