Mullewa Muster & Rodeo: Another sell-out event credited to surge in popularity with younger generation
For three years in a row, the Mullewa Muster and Rodeo has been a sell-out and the organisers credit the surge in popularity of the outback bash to the 'TikTok generation'. It was a family-friendly weekend of thrills and spills last weekend for 3500 people from across Australia, donning their best leather boots, denim jeans and cowboy hats. It was the 11th year of the Mullewa Muster and Rodeo and organiser Caitlin Bryant says it keeps getting better and better. 'We've seen a really big demographic shift over the last three years; post-COVID, we have started to appeal to a much younger crowd,' she said. 'It's definitely that TikTok generation. Country and western is so popular at the moment, we were worried that maybe it was a trend, but then you sell out three years in a row and it only gets more popular.' The wild weekend in the bush included bull riding, barrel racing and steer wrestling. As the sun set the crowd flocked to the main field for a country music festival featuring Christie Lamb and Reuben Styles from Peking Duck. The night was capped off with the crowd camping under the stars.

How Instagram influencer who speaks Hakka Chinese honours her unique family roots
At first sight, you probably would not guess that Jephina Lueche could speak Hakka, a Chinese language variety most widely spoken in China's south, let alone that she teaches it to others. Advertisement But the content creator of Chinese and Guyanese descent has been giving short lessons on basic but useful everyday Hakka phrases on social media for over four years, wowing tens of thousands of followers along the way. An Instagram video of her speaking Hakka while sharing Peking duck with her multicultural relatives has racked up more than 2 million views. Other 'Hakka 101' clips, in which she covers practical phrases like 'good night', 'I like you' and 'don't speak', have also generated much online interest and reaction, as have her culture-focused videos, earning her more than 90,000 followers. The video that really kicked things off for her was posted in February 2021. It was one of her first Instagram videos detailing her family and features footage of her late Chinese grandmother playing with Lueche's now seven-year-old son.
