This year hasn’t just flown. It feels like we were flung out of January and we’ve now crash landed in December.
But 2014 was a huge year.
Shocking aviation tragedy as two planes crashed and all souls were lost.
Schapelle was released.
The Winter Olympics and the Commonwealth Games.
#Bringbackourgirls drew attention to the fate of hundreds of girls kidnapped by Muslim extremists, Boko Haram.
Ian Thorpe came out.
Bloodshed in Gaza.
The Football (cough…soccer) World Cup.
Ebola.
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Todd Carney peed in his own mouth (ok, so you don’t want to remember all of it).
We lost Gough Whitlam, Robin Williams and Phillip Hughes.
