What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

Hi everyone, after a painful few nights and a 18 hour hospital stay because of gallstons, I am finally back to being pain free. So I thought I would share my piece of luck with you.

I donated some money towards a cause that one of my coin groups was raising money for, so the Admin gave me a free number on one of their coin wheels they were running and yesterday I was advised that I won first prize. And this is what I won.

2024 $2 War Animals Remembrance Purple Poppy C Mintmark Coloured Silver Proof

2022 $2 C Mintmark Remembrance Day Red Poppy UNC Card

2022 $2 Honey Bee Mint Graded MS68

2024 $2 Tooth Fairy UNC Carded Coin

2024 $2 War Animals Remembrance Purple Poppy C Mintmark Coloured Aluminium-Bronze Uncirculated Coin

2022 $2 Peacekeeping 75th Anniversary - 'C' Mintmark UNC Coin - RAM Issue

2025 $2 30th Anniversary of the Torres Strait Island Flag 'C' Mintmark Coloured UNC Coin

2023 $2 End of Australia’s Involvement in the Vietnam War - 50th Anniversary ‘C’ Mintmark Coloured Uncirculated Coin

I am over the moon with what I have won and I am very grateful to the wonderful people that run these coin dips to raise money for great causes.

@Chasingsunsets I really wanted to buy the first one, but I didn't win the ballot and couldn't find one before they all sold out. And I refuse to pay the amounts that people are trying to sell them for now. But now I have one of my very own ❤️

And I was watching a Graded Honey Bee Coin with the same grading of MS (Mint State) 68 (70 is the best grade you can get) on an auction site, but now I don't need to.

If feels like I am being rewarded for all the pain I have been going through this past week. As Saturday's early morning attack was the 2nd within 3 days.

I actually found the honey bee one whilst looking for the $5 coin and had wanted to ask you what it was. Just hadn’t got around to it!! Mine is just from general circulation! Yours looks super shiny!!

Hellooo @Bunniekins I hope you are having a good day 😀

@Chasingsunsets in 2023 the ​2022 $2 Honey Bee coin was

crowned as the best circulating coin in the world! Designed to commemorate the bicentenary of Australia's honey-bee industry, this remarkable coin honours the vital role of bees in our ecosystem.

This is my favourite $2 coin
