Word On The Street 21 August

This week, we asked a few of you two big questions: 'What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you?' and 'What’s on your bucket list?', courtesy of a suggestion by Allan Finn.

Jimmy James
Best thing that's ever happened to you?
"The best thing that's ever happened to me is being around my family and spending time with them."
Bucket list items?
"I really want to go to an NBA game in America."

James and Amber Sutherland
Best thing that's ever happened to you?
James: "When I got to stop mowing the lawn (chuckles). Or scoring a hat-trick in cricket."
Bucket list items?
James:"I've been around Australia, but I regret not turning off to Uluru. So probably to visit Uluru."
Amber: "I'd say mine is to go to Bali. It's just a place I've wanted to go to for a while."

Margaret McDonald
Best thing that's ever happened to you?
"I'd say having my children. They're all gorgeous and they've given me beautiful grandchildren."
Bucket list item?
"To visit Katherine (town) in the Northern Territory. I think I've already been everywhere else!"
