Perth people queue up to be first to try popular Chinese tea
Tea lovers descended on the Perth launch of a popular Chinese tea chain that is known for its lemon range, made by punching a lemon 25 times to extract the citrus goodness.
Taning originates from Guangzhou and is known for its signature perfume lemon tea, a range of fruit-infused blends and plant-based options.
Aside from the refreshing drink, a standout attraction at the launch event was the unveiling of 68 Gacha machines, which dispensed capsule toys featuring trendy figurines as random collectables.
The machines were a huge hit with guests, who eagerly lined up to try their luck and collect their favourite characters.
With more than 800 stores across many countries, Taning now brings the signature tea to Newcastle Street in Perth.

'Till the day they die': Long-time royal photographer's bombshell prediction about Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's relationship... as the Duke of York faces fresh scandal
Royal photographer Arthur Edwards has made a striking prediction about Prince Andrew and Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson, saying he believes the pair will remain loyal to one another for life. Edwards, who has worked with the Royal Family for over 40 years, told The Sun on Sunday that Fergie is his "favourite royal" and opened up about his memories of the Yorks' long and complicated relationship. He recalled the first time the "extroverted redhead" appeared on the royal scene in 1985, after being introduced to Prince Andrew by her friend, the late Princess Diana. The couple quickly became engaged and married in 1986, but eventually separated and divorced a decade later in 1996. Still, Edwards believes nothing will break the connection between the Duke and Duchess of York, who share daughters Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 35. "They're still very close and will be until the day they die," he said. Fergie echoed similar sentiments in a December interview with The Times, declaring: "I won't let Andrew down. He supports me as much as I support him. He's supported me through thick and thin, not just marriage or divorce." The ex-couple's bond has indeed remained unusually strong, and so has the public scrutiny, particularly surrounding the ex-working royal and his ties to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The latest round of controversy has erupted ahead of the release of royal author Andrew Lownie's new book 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York', due out on August 14. The book reportedly explores the 65-year-old Duke's sexual exploits and alleges that Andrew's relationship with Epstein was even more perilous than the public realises. According to The Times, Epstein is said to have sold Andrew's "most intimate secrets" to foreign intelligence agencies. The book also claims the disgraced financier was an "agent of influence" for Russian President Vladimir Putin. "The Prince was a useful idiot who gave him respectability, access to political leaders and business opportunities. He found him easy to exploit," Lownie said. These allegations come hot on the heels of Andrew's exposed ties to alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo, who reportedly saw him as "a valuable communication channel" according to documents released by the UK's Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC). The pair still live together at Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate, a situation many assumed would end under King Charles' reign, as reports claimed the King wanted them to vacate the sprawling property. But Edwards believes that's also unlikely. "One thing I know about the King is that he is a kind man who was never going to kick his brother and Fergie out of their home, Royal Lodge at Windsor," he said. "He's not that sort of person."

Overseas stars lure tourists Down Under in new push
Australian celebrity Robert Irwin, English television cook Nigella Lawson and other international stars are tempting tourists to the land Down Under. Shots of these celebrities set against iconic Australian landscapes are part of the federal government's newest tourism push to attract travellers from five countries. Advertisements featuring Chinese actor Yosh Yu, Ms Lawson and Japanese comedian Abareru-kun will air in their home countries, while Steve Irwin's son will become the face of the American campaign and wellness advocate Sara Tendulkar will star in ads broadcast in India. This $130 million push builds on Tourism Australia's Come and Say G'day campaign, which launched the lovable animated mascot Ruby the Roo. "Traditionally tourism campaigns have leveraged one famous face across every market but for our latest campaign Ruby will be joined by well-known talent from five different markets to showcase personal lasting memories of a holiday to Australia," Tourism Australia managing director Phillipa Harrison said. "These international stars combine with local talent ... to create bespoke invitations for five markets." Since the resumption of international travel, the domestic tourism industry has grown with the number of international arrivals expected to reach a record 10 million in 2026 and 11.8 million in 2029. More than 700,000 jobs and 360,000 Australian businesses depend on tourism. The teaser for this campaign was first launched in July during the prime minister's trip to China. Chinese travellers remain Australia's second biggest cohort of tourists behind New Zealand, figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show. "Tourism is the lifeblood of so many communities right around the country and creates hundreds of thousands of jobs," Tourism Minister Don Farrell said. "The previous campaign struck a chord with visitors, with Ruby the Roo bounding into the imagination of countless guests, encouraging them to book a holiday down under. "I know this iteration, featuring popular talent like Robert Irwin, will be a smash." The advertisements will go live in China from August 7 on TV and online.
