My lost Australian paradise

DW reporter Chloe Lyneman witnessed the Australian bushfires up close. She and her family had to flee twice from the approaching flames. An oppressive report.

Smoke over Broulee Beach near Batemans Bay, the Lyneham family’s favorite vacation spot

On December 30, my family and I were eating spaghetti in a small village south of Batemans Bay in New South Wales when my mother called. A huge fire is racing down Clyde Mountain towards us, she said. The authorities had asked people to leave the area, otherwise they risk being caught in the flames.

Bonus booklet dentist – what if lost?

Bonus booklet dentist:

Some dental patients will surely know a bonus booklet. It is a brown and white notebook in which the dentist puts his stamp. The stamps are not simply placed in the bonus booklet, but there are two main reasons why this booklet should ideally be stamped at regular intervals by your dentist. First, this little booklet reminds you to visit your dentist regularly for a check-up on your teeth. And on the other hand, it is about the costs of any upcoming dentures, because since the last major healthcare reform, not all costs for dentures have been reimbursed by the statutory health insurance. Regularly stamping the bonus book at your dentist can save you some money. Every member of a statutory health insurance company should have such a booklet and if not, you should apply to your health insurance company as soon as possible.
