It's been a heavy weekend of news.
Around our dining tables, in our group chats and in our local community, we're all feeling it. Those who are directly affected exorbitantly worse than others, of course.
On Saturday, we learnt about the passing of Australian cricket legend Shane Warne, after the 52-year-old died from a suspected heart attack in Thailand.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine continued to make headlines, and closer to home, rescue and recovery efforts are still underway for Queensland and NSW residents devastated by floods. It's a lot - all at once.
As events continue to unfold, we decided to round up five good news stories to bring a bit of light to what's going on right now.
1. Parents in Poland have left prams on a train station for fleeing Ukrainian mothers.
