Very well constructed, comfortable to wear against my skin, and totally secure. i could not have asked for a better way to carry around money, my passport, and other valuables for two weeks spent abroad., these awesome packing squares exceeded my expectations they are made of high quality material and seem like they will be durable., the universal power adapter worked perfectly for my trip to paris. i loved that it had usb ports as well, so i could charge my phone and computer at the same time, we bought two umbrellas for an irish winter vacation. we had heard the winds could be very daunting and other umbrellas would be ruined. the hero umbrella withstood the wind, gave a big area of water protection, was light and the zippered cover was easy to travel with. i’ll never need another one, i was thrilled when i opened this package today and saw the quality of this passport holder. it is lightweight yet extremely sturdy and very well made. i think this would be ideal for anyone day to day or traveling. my use will be for day to day, because in these pandemic days it is not good to take a handbag anywhere, this holds my phone, cards, and anything else i might need to go to an appointment or out shopping. i am very pleased and highly recommend it., - shireslass, wow that is all i have to say about the quality of your products. i bought the packing cubes, umbrella, and passport holder. i was so impressed with the quality of your products, i want more. i went back to see what else i could purchase for needed travel. i was a little embarrassed to admit to my husband how much i spent on the umbrella. we live in florida and go through them like water. well, this umbrella withstood an hawaiian rainstorm with terrible winds. my umbrella was the only one in our group that didn’t flip inside out.

The Hero of Waterloo

The History of the Hero of Waterloo Hotel in The Rocks, Sydney, begins in 1843.

George Paton, builder of the Garrison Church in 1840, bought the adjoining land from Johnathon Clarke (The Shipwrights Arms, 1831).

Paton, a stonemason, built The Hero from sandstone brought up from the Argyle Cut. A favourite drinking spot for the Garrison Troops of the Colonial days.

This lovely hotel with its burning open log fires, amazing live music, well stocked bar, red coat history cellar museum tour, and its warm hospitality is a must for any tourist.

Australia was ‘lucky to have’ Pakistani refugee guard who died in Sydney stabbing, says PM

A ustralian prime minister Anthony Albanese has said the country was “lucky to have” the Pakistani immigrant security guard who died saving shoppers during a mass stabbing attack at a beachside Sydney mall earlier this month.

The family of Faraz Tahir, who would have turned 31 on Wednesday, held his funeral on Friday which was attended by hundreds of mourners.

The refugee from Pakistan was among six people who were killed in the attack by Joel Cauchi at Westfield shopping mall on 13 April. Tahir was on the first day of his job.

"Running toward danger, to protect people he had never even met, without doubt, he helped save lives that day," Mr Albanese said at the funeral outside the city’s Baitul Huda mosque.

"Without question, Faraz Tahir died a hero,” he said.

Under the banner “Love for all, hatred for none”, family members, relatives, friends and community members gathered to bid farewell to Tahir with moist eyes.

“Today, as our nation remembers his bravery and honours his life, we affirm that Australia will always be grateful to Faraz Tahir, ” Mr Albanese said.

Muhammad Taha, who was also on guard duty the day of the attack and suffered serious injuries when he tried to intervene, remembered Tahir’s final words.

“We were standing side-by-side when all of a sudden we heard people shouting and screaming,” he said as he attended the funeral after getting permission from the hospital to leave.

“We were trying to save people at the time and his last words were ‘let’s find out what’s going on’.”

Even though they had met for the first time Mr Taha said they made a connection that would have lasted forever.

“He will be missed, we will remember him.”

Tahir, a member of the minority Ahmadiyya community in Pakistan, arrived in Australia 18 months ago, fleeing religious persecution.

Tahir’s brother, Mudasar Bashir, who last spoke to his brother the evening before said he promised to call the next day. They never spoke again.

“Even until now, we couldn’t believe that he is no more,” he said at the funeral. “We are very proud of him because - Islam, our religion, says that if you save even one human, you save all of humanity.”

The Independent has always had a global perspective. Built on a firm foundation of superb international reporting and analysis, The Independent now enjoys a reach that was inconceivable when it was launched as an upstart player in the British news industry. For the first time since the end of the Second World War, and across the world, pluralism, reason, a progressive and humanitarian agenda, and internationalism – Independent values – are under threat. Yet we, The Independent, continue to grow.

Faraz Tahir, security guard who died trying to stop Bondi Junction Westfield attacker, remembered as 'national hero'

Funeral of Faraz Tahir

Bondi Junction security guard, Faraz Tahir, who was killed while trying to save shoppers from a knife-wielding attacker, has been remembered as a national hero at a funeral service in north-west Sydney.

The 30-year-old was one of six people killed during the stabbing attack at the Bondi Junction Westfield on April 13.

It was the Pakistani national's first day shift as a security guard at the shopping centre.

Mourners have gathered for a funeral prayer at the Baitul Huda mosque in Marsden Park honouring the life of Faraz Tahir.

Mr Tahir's colleague, Muhammad Taha, who was also on duty on the day of the attack and suffered serious injuries while trying to intervene, attended the funeral.

Mr Taha said he asked for permission to leave his hospital bed because he wanted to say goodbye to his colleague and speak to his family.

A man in a wheelchair is pushed across a floor surrounded by people.

He became emotional as he recalled Mr Tahir's final words.

"We were standing side-by-side when all of a sudden we heard people shouting and screaming," he said.

"We were trying to save people at the time and his last words were 'let's find out what's going on'."

The lone-attacker, 40-year-old Queenslander Joel Cauchi, was shot dead by NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott.

Mr Taha said although he only met Mr Tahir that day, they would be forever connected. 

"It's been two-weeks, and I can't even sleep… lots of nightmares, the trauma is horrific," he said.

"He will be missed, we will remember him."

A number of men carry a casket outside a mosque.

Speaking outside the Mosque, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said there was no doubt that Mr Tahir died a national hero.

"He was grateful to Australia," Mr Albanese said.

"Today, as our nation remembers his bravery and honours his life, we affirm that Australia will always be grateful to Faraz Tahir."

NSW Premier Chris Minns echoed the Prime Minister's sentiment, saying the state mourns the goodness Mr Tahir still had to offer.

Family honour the 'bravest person' they know

Faraz Tahir arrived in Australia 18 months ago after fleeing persecution in Pakistan for being an Ahmaddiyya Muslim.

A number of Faraz Tahir's family members have travelled from Pakistan to say their final farewells.

His brother, Shiraz Tahir, said the family spoke to him on the phone the night before his death where the 30-year-old said he was excited to start his new job.

"Always he intended to help people every time that I saw him, and we spent lots of time together," Shiraz Tahir said.

"The strongest person in our family obviously and now in Australia, he was the strongest person, and he was the bravest person I've seen," he said.

Another brother, Mudasar Bashir said the family were proud of him and thanked the public for their love and compassion.

"He gave his life to protect others, he gave his blood to protect the public and we want everyone to pray for him."

Mr Tahir was a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and attended the Baitul Huda Mosque.

The mosque's Imam Inamul ul-Haq Kauser said the community feels comforted by the support for Mr Tahir from across the country.

"His sacrifice has been recognised by all Australians," Mr Kauser said.

"Another life is waiting for him, I'm sure it will be a heavenly life."

Faraz Tahir will be buried in Sydney.

National blood drive created in honour of Mr Tahir

In honour of Mr Tahir and in response to the Bondi Junction stabbing attack, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Australia (AMYA) has announced the launch of a new nationwide blood drive.

Speaking to ABC's News Breakfast, AMYA president Adnan Qadir described Mr Tahir as a "true hero" and "someone who had a big heart" that "gave his life to save other people".

"I think this is a true Australian story. We have each other's backs and support the community members," he said. 

"The Holy Quran teaches us that, 'Who saves one man's life saves the entire humanity'."

A crowd of people look forward as PM Anthony Albanese talks at a podium.

Mr Qadir said Mr Tahir's death inspired the AMYA, with the youth group making the collective decision that the "best way to honour his memory is to give back to the community".

He added that "what could be better than donating our blood to assist the fellow Australians in difficult times".

Established in partnership with Red Cross Lifeblood, the campaign, named "Faraz's Gift", is intended to encourage Australians to give blood.

The campaign was officially launched on April 17.

The AMYA has said the blood drive is to honour Mr Tahir and to commemorate "the lives of the other five individuals lost in the tragedy".

Is ‘Unsung Hero’ Streaming On Netflix Or HBO Max?

  • Candace Cameron Bure

Candace Cameron Bure Says She “Almost Died” Filming ‘Fuller House’ Zipline Stunt

Candace cameron bure says ‘quiet on set’ doc “absolutely tore me apart” on ‘the view’ — but reveals she “didn’t have that experience” as a child actor, the great american family just grew bigger: mario lopez becomes latest celeb to join conservative network as he signs multi-year deal, bob saget honored by ‘full house’ co-stars and loved ones two years after his sudden death: “still doesn’t feel real”.

Candace Cameron Bure is starring in the new Christian drama Unsung Hero , which is coming to theaters this week. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this movie!

Based on a true story, Unsung Hero follows the Smallbone family as its members become two successful Christian recording acts — For King & Country and Rebecca St. James — after moving from Australia to Nashville, Tenn.

So, where can you watch Unsung Hero? Is it on Netflix? What about Max?

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH UNSUNG HERO :

As of now, the only way to watch Unsung Hero is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, April 26. You can find a local showing on Fandango . Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until it becomes available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple , YouTube and Amazon .

WHEN WILL UNSUNG HERO BE ON STREAMING? WILL UNSUNG HERO BE ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO?

While a digital release date has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate on when  Unsung Hero  will become available to rent or purchase based on a previous movie distributed by Lionsgate. Ordinary Angels joined digital on March 26 — about four weeks after its theatrical debut. If Unsung Hero follows the same trajectory, you may be able to watch from the comfort of your home by late May 2024.

Plus, it’s possible that Unsung Hero will eventually come to Peacock due to a deal that gives the streamer access to all Lionsgate theatrical releases during its Pay 2 window beginning in 2024.

WILL UNSUNG HERO BE ON HBO MAX?

No, Unsung Hero will likely not be available on Max (previously known as HBO Max) since it is not a Warner Bros. Discovery film.

WILL UNSUNG HERO BE ON NETFLIX?

No, Unsung Hero will not be on Netflix — at least not any time soon. While it’s possible the film may come to the streamer at some point in the future, you’ll just have to head out to a movie theater or wait for it to become available on digital platforms in the meantime.

Pakistani guard killed in sydney mall attack hailed as hero at funeral.

hero travel sydney

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hailed as a hero Pakistani security guard Faraz Tahir, killed in Sydney while trying to stop a mass stabbing attack , in remarks delivered on Friday at a funeral attended by hundreds.

Tahir, who would have turned 31 on Wednesday, was on the first day of his job when he became one of six killed this month during the stabbing spree at a busy mall in beachside Bondi.

“Running toward danger, to protect people he had never even met, without doubt, he helped save lives that day,” Albanese said. “Without question, Faraz Tahir died a hero.”

The ceremony was held before a crowd gathered outside Baitul Huda, under a banner that read “Love for all — hatred for none”.

Tahir arrived in Australia as a refugee from Pakistan, according to the Ahmadi community of Australia, to which he belonged.

Fellow security guard Muhammad Taha , injured while trying to stop the attacker, attended in a wheelchair after being released from hospital for the ceremony. He was the last to speak with Tahir as they ran towards the scene of the attack.

“We were trying to save people at that time and his last words were ‘Let’s find out what’s going on,’ so we rushed towards that area,” he said in comments reported by the Guardian newspaper.

Tahir’s brother, Mudasar Bashir, told reporters the two had spoken the evening before and promised to call the next day. They never spoke again.

“Even until now, we couldn’t believe that he’s no more,” he said at the funeral.

Joel Cauchi, a 40-year-old who suffered mental health issues, killed five women and Tahir in the mall on April 13 before being shot dead by police.

What polling can (and can't) tell you

On Nov. 5, election officials across America will count more than 150 million ballots to answer a burning political question: Who will be president of the United States? Until then, the best signals we can get will mostly come from public opinion polls, which will be the fuel of endless debate on who has the lead, Democrat Joe Biden or Republican Donald Trump. But what do polls really tell us? Lik

Billy Brownless has hinted his next career move will be a return to reality TV.

The Geelong cult hero turned footy larrikin has been tight-lipped about his next project after confirming he has been given permission to abandon his radio commitments with Triple M for two weeks.

The 57-year-old has got the rumour mill in overdrive with speculation running hot following his announcement on Triple M’s Saturday Rub.

Co-hosts James Brayshaw, Bernie Vince and Damian Barrett had a good laugh about Brownless’ decision with Brayshaw saying he had “good mail” Brownless will be returning to reality TV.

Brownless, a 198-game Geelong legend, refused to confirm the link.

The Herald Sun has speculated Brownless will be featuring on the next season of Network 10’s The Amazing Race , which is due to begin filming in early May.

“I can’t talk about it,” Brownless said on Triple M.

“I’ve signed a confidentiality clause and I am not allowed to say too much, but I might be away for a couple of weeks. I could be flying overseas.”

Brownless, who sits alongside Brayshaw during the pair’s iconic Rush Hour afternoon radio show, did confirm his decision to take a break from his regular duties is not the result of family or personal issues.

He said he himself didn’t yet know what he will be doing during his next project.

Brayshaw said Brownless’ return to reality TV would be a form of returning to the scene of his “comprehensive failure” on Channel 10’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here .

Brownless featured in the 2020 edition of the hit show where he made headlines for candid comments about his marriage breakdown .

It turns out Brownless was only involved in filming in the African jungle for 11 days, having met the contract clause of 10 days on set.

Triple M has not announced his replacement for the drive-time slot.

Brownless remains one of the most popular figures in football media and rumoured recent romantic relationships have excited fans after years of him recovering from his divorce.

Brownless and Melbourne Demons legend Garry Lyon were close friends before Lyon’s relationship with Brownless’ ex-wife Nicky became public.

Nicky and Brownless were together for 18 years before splitting in 2014.

Most recently in January, Brownless was linked with a mystery lady “friend” Lizzie, when they were seen out and about together at the Australian Open.

A battered Hawthorn has received another serious injury blow with a promising forward ruled out for the rest of the season.

A dual Brownlow Medallist has opened up on the overseas holiday that ultimately allowed him to get back to his best in the AFL.

The Berry brothers will go head-to-head in Sunday’s QClash that the Lions and Suns are desperate to win for different reasons.
