JAWN's Curated

From Mount Druitt, Western Sydney, OneFour is one of Australia's most recognisable musicians.  Love them or hate them, OneFour pioneered Australia’s music scene whilst simultaneously reviving the adlay scene. THE GROUP. Initially consisting of five members: J Emz (Jerome Misa),  YP (Pio Misa),  Spenny (Spencer Magalogo),  Lekks (Salec Su’a) and  Celly (Dahcell Ramos) The group grew up together in Mount Druitt, a suburb which doesn’t exactly get featured in tourism brochures and has high levels of socioeconomic disadvantage.  However, in 2024, YP left the group after being released from prison to focus on religion and has since become a priest. He credits his time in prison as a wake-up call. The remaining members continued the OneFour music group. Their sound blended UK drill influences with distinctive Australian elements, such as language and fashion stemming from eshay/adlay culture. Their lyrics documented their life in Mount Druitt, with their early mu...

Jack Gibson-Burrell (21 y.o.), the alleged artist behind Melbourne's Pam the Bird graffiti, is now facing 208 charges, up from the original 59.  The charges include criminal damage, assault, burglary, theft, use of a weapon and more.

The tag's prevalence and the audacity of its placement eventually drew the attention of Victoria Police, who launched a comprehensive investigation into the graffiti spree. CO-ACCUSED. His co-accused, street artist Matthew "Srock" White (39 ...

Australian magpies, otherwise known as swooping birds, are one of the most familiar native birds across Australia.  Known for their distinctive black and white plumage and beautiful flute-like calls, magpies can be found in suburbs, parks and open grasslands throughout Australia. They're as Aussie as it gets - part of the soundtrack of our everyday lives. SERIOUSLY PROTECTIVE. Magpies are intelligent, social and fiercely territorial birds, often returning to the same nesting spot each year. They're clever enough to recognise individual faces and remember who they perceive as threats. This intelligence, combined with their strong family bonds, makes them fascinating creatures to observe - from a safe distance, of course. Between late winter and spring season (about August to October in Australia), magpies guard their nest with full intensity. This is when things get real. If a person, bike, car or even a pet wanders too close, there's a good chance they'll cop a dive-bom...
