While Jack Thompson was on hand to launch the Heroes and Villains: Strutt's Australia exhibition at the National Library of Australia on Tuesday the library's staff couldn't resist getting the actor to sign the bound copy of his Cleo centrefold from 1972.
Fortunately the bound tome just happened to be at the library and not in one of its off-site storage areas and Thompson was chuffed to relive the infamous photo spread for the first nude "Mate of the Month" in the magazine's first issue.
New baby Fagan
Former Brumbies CEO Andrew Fagan announced the arrival of his daughter Giselle on Twitter on Wednesday night.
"Something magical just happened & I'm filled with unimaginable delight. Giselle greeted the world at 3.8kg. Alana & Gigi are both perfect," the Tweet read.
Andrew and his partner of two years, former Fox Sports presenter Alana Smith announced the pregnancy back in March.
After 12 years at the Brumbies, Andrew took up the position of CEO at the Adelaide Crows this season.
It is the first child for Alana, but the third for Fagan who has two children from a previous relationship.
