The cruise Take a cruise on the historic M.V. Loch-Ard. To really appreciate the beauty and size of the surrounding lakes get on board the MV Loch-Ard, which has been beetling around the Victorian waterways since it was first built, from Huon pine and kauri, in 1910. It is a snugly romantic vessel and during a sunset cruise you can watch the changing colours of the skies, see white sea eagles dive for an evening meal and hear some great local stories from Captain Dale Winward. See mallacootacruises.com The historic stay Karbeethong Lodge was built in 1922 and offers a slice of nostalgia. Karbeethong Lodge has the distinction of being favourably compared to heaven by A Sentimental Bloke author C.J. Dennis when he stayed here in 1932. It is hard to argue with him as you sit on the balcony of this 1920s-built seaside guesthouse with a local Gippsland drop in hand, looking across the grassy slope of a yard to the tranquil East Gippsland waters. Owners Graeme and Jenny Mitchell keep things warm and inviting with a retro collection of furnishings that populate the communal spaces of the huge living room and the help-yourself kitchen. Rooms are quirky and often have more beds than you need, but this is a very special place from which to explore the region. See karbeethonglodge.com.au The local dinner Lucy’s Cantonese fare is legendary in Mallacoota. Lucy’s, on the main street of Mallacoota, is an order-at-the-counter, family-working-all-stations affair that is packed on a weekend with visitors and locals sharing tables full of simple but utterly delicious dishes in serves that often require a take-away container. The go-tos here are the fresh, handmade noodles teamed with locally caught abalone and homegrown herbs, generously stuffed prawn har gau and rolled-up newspaper-sized spring rolls. The museum Mallacoota’s Bunker Museum was once part of a group of World War II-era military installations. The Bunker Museum was originally part of a chain of military installations that protected this exposed easterly part of the Australian coast during World War II. Now visitors descend the stairs into the rainbow-roofed bunker for a taste of military and local history with displays of “trench art” made from shell casings, the story of the sinking of British ship the SS Cumberland and a full-scale replica of home life in the 1940s complete with a mannequin looking like she has come off the set of Dad’s Army . See mallacootabunker.com.au The market Located near The Muddie, the mud brick pavilion at the centre of the Lions Park in town, this local market is full of the freshest local produce, local arts and crafts and community groups. It is a regularly changing roster of stallholders but keep an eye out for The Travelling Squid with its signature salt-and-pepper calamari and “prawn twists”. See mallacootamarkets.com The festival The Wild Harvest Seafood Festival was created to celebrate some of the less-loved creatures of the sea, such as the abalone and sea urchin that Mallacoota is known for. Started in 2022 (after some delays), the “whelk-om” dinner might have local oysters cooked over fire by Noel Butler from First Nations social enterprise Black Duck Foods, and pesce crudo using locally caught fish by guest chefs such as Stefano de Pieri. You might catch a live band, learn a sea shanty or enter a sandcastle making competition. It is an intimate introduction to this special part of Victoria. See wildharvestseafoodfestival.com The creative hub The Mallacoota Art Space, inside the Croajingolong Centre, often hosts an artist-in-residence. Tucked in behind the local radio station, inside the Croajingolong Centre, is the Mallacoota Art Space that is not only hung with works from local artists but, more often that not, will have an artist-in-residence producing works who is up for a chat about the local area and the wild coast that provides much of the inspiration for the local makers and creators. See visitmallacoota.com.au The nature walk Croajingalong National Park is great for bathing, walking or just taking in the view. It is a short drive to Genoa Falls in the Croajingolong National Park, just outside of Mallacoota, where the water runs down a long, flat slope packed full of water dragons that dart away into the rocks as soon as they see you. It is a great spot for bathing or simply wandering through the walking trails. If you have extra time the walk to Genoa Peak gives you a killer view of the surrounding bush and waterways. See visitmallacoota.com.au One more thing ... Abalone is now being processed locally. Mallacoota is the abalone capital of Victoria and the Australian Wild Abalone plant recently opened after the previous operation was devastated by the 2019 Gippsland bushfires. In the past, most of the popular aquatic meat was sent straight to Asia, but there is a renewed interest in using the fresh meat at home, so keep an eye out for it on local menus and at markets.

NoneMan, 70, charged with stunt driving after going wrong way on Hwy. 401Look at the numbers, and it’s easy to assume Iowa State did whatever it wanted in its matchup against Colorado a month ago. Certainly in one sense, the Cyclones did just that while routing the Buffaloes 99-71 in both teams’ final game of the Maui Invitational on Nov. 27. CU head coach Tad Boyle, he of the defense-first ethos, typically is the last person who will defend a shoddy defensive effort by his club. Yet in that instance, it was the Buffaloes’ inability to protect the ball that led to their defensive demise. CU will get another shot at the opportunistic Cyclones on Monday, as the Buffs host No. 3 Iowa State in the Big 12 Conference opener. “You look at giving up 99 points and what they shot against us. But to be honest, it wasn’t our half-court defense,” Boyle said. “It was the 37 points off our turnovers, and the 14 points off second chance on offensive rebounds. You put those together, and it’s 51 of their 99 are a result of us not boxing out and getting our (butts) kicked on the boards, or not taking care of the ball on offense. And Iowa State, that’s what they feed on. They feed off of turning turnovers into layups and easy baskets. “When our half-court defense got set, we weren’t that bad. I’m not saying we were great defensively. But we weren’t as bad as the score would indicate.” Not only did CU surrender a season-high point total, but a defense that hasn’t allowed any other opponent to shoot 50% surrendered opponent season-highs in field goal percentage (.603), 3-point percentage (.440), made free throws (18) and assists (18) against the Cyclones. While CU has averaged just 12.6 turnovers in the past eight games after committing a whopping 55 through the season’s first three games, one glaring exception to the recent run occurred against the Cyclones. The Buffs committed 18 turnovers against ISU, and the Cyclones took advantage of just about every one of them, finishing with 37 points off turnovers. That, by far, is the highest total of points off turnovers by a CU foe this season. The next highest mark was 20 points by Northern Colorado in the second game of the season, and that was a double-overtime game. The Buffs surrendered a relatively modest seven offensive rebounds against the Cyclones but, again, ISU took advantage of all of them, finishing with 14 second-chance points. That’s also the most by a CU foe this season. Boyle reiterated a common theme of his after practice on Sunday that he would prefer a five-second call as opposed to wild, bail-out passes, given the Cyclones’ ability to turn live-ball turnovers into optimal looks in transition. ISU leads the Big 12 in forced turnovers (16.0) and turnover margin (plus-6.5). “Obviously we’ve got to stay in front of the ball a lot better this game,” CU forward Bangot Dak said. “Their guards were able to create a lot for others last time I feel like. And just overall, all five guys were able to beat us off the bounce. We’ve got to be a way better help team. And the big key is just really taking care of the ball. They had 37 points that we basically gave to them. We just have to take care of the ball, no second-chance points, and it will be a better game.” TIPOFF : Monday, 7 p.m., CU Events Center TV/RADIO : CBS Sports Network/KOA 850 AM and 94.1 FM RECORDS : Iowa State 10-1; Colorado 9-2.

Sofia Richie Grainge swayed to a song in a video — and the internet's 'brain chemistry' changed: 'Wishing I was as effortlessly cool'In-form Arsenal Women will travel to St Helens Stadium for Sunday's Women's Super League clash against Liverpool Women . The Gunners are looking to claim a seventh consecutive victory in all competitions, while the hosts are hoping to end a run of three consecutive league defeats. © Imago Liverpool proved to be a tough team to beat in the opening stages of the WSL season, with their first six league games producing two wins, three draws and one defeat. However, the Reds have experienced a dip in form in recent times, having lost each of their previous three WSL matches without troubling the scorers. Liverpool began that losing run with a 3-0 home defeat against Chelsea, before they fell to a narrow 1-0 loss in the Merseyside derby against Everton. The Reds then slumped to a heavy 4-0 defeat in last Sunday's home clash against Manchester United, leaving them in seventh place and one point adrift of the top half. They did at least manage to avenge their Merseyside derby defeat in midweek, with substitute Mia Enderby netting a brace to help her side claim a 4-0 victory against Everton in the Women's League Cup. While the result failed to prevent a group-stage exit, Liverpool will hope to use the confidence built from that comfortable win as they look to claim a home win over Arsenal for the first time in WSL history. © Imago Renee Slegers is yet to taste defeat in her role as Arsenal interim boss, having overseen eight wins and one draw since taking over the reins from Jonas Eidevall in October. The Gunners have recorded six consecutive victories since they played out a draw with Manchester United on November 3, including wins over Aston Villa and Valeranga following the international break. Arsenal eased to a 4-0 victory in their WSL home clash against Villa, before they recorded a 3-1 win in Wednesday's European away clash against Valeranga, which came courtesy of an Alessia Russo brace and a Frida Maanmum effort. The Gunners, who had already qualified for the quarter-finals, finished matchday five in second place and one point behind group leaders Bayern Munich ahead of next week's Women's Champions League meeting between the two sides. Before they play host to Bayern, Arsenal will look to maintain their top-three spot in the WSL, with the Gunners sitting in third position and above fourth-placed Man United on goal difference. Sunday's visitors will certainly fancy their chances of adding to their 18-point tally, having avoided defeat in each of their previous seven WSL away matches since they lost to Chelsea in March (W6, D2). The hosts are without Lucy Parry , Rachael Laws , Faye Kirby , Gemma Evans , Marie Hobinger , Sofie Lundgaard and Sophie Roman Haug . Republic of Ireland international Leanne Kiernan will miss out after picking up an injury in the midweek win over Everton. After making a few changes in midweek, Liverpool boss Matt Beard may opt to recall Jasmine Matthews , Olivia Smith and Enderby. As for the visitors, Slegers remains without the services of Victoria Pelova , Lia Walti and Amanda Ilestedt . Kim Little is making progress in her injury recovery, but it remains to be seen whether she will be ready for Sunday's away trip. After making several changes for Thursday's European outing, Slegers could decide to revert back to the team that started last Sunday's league win over Villa. Liverpool Women possible starting lineup: Micah; Fisk, Bonner, Matthews; Holland, Shaw, Nagano, Kapocs, Hinds; Enderby, Smith Arsenal Women possible starting lineup: Van Domselaar; Fox, Williamson, Catley, McCabe; Cooney-Cross, Maanum; Mead, Caldentey, Foord; Russo Arsenal will carry significant momentum into Sunday's fixture after winning each of their previous six competitive outings, and we think the confident Gunners will sweep past Liverpool to claim a relatively comfortable victory.
