A jetsetting toy monkey left behind at Buckingham Palace is returned to the children of a South Australian preschool.

Once in Australia, Savannah and her friends at the preschool, in the Adelaide Hills, wrote to the Queen asking her to look for Harriet.

"When [Savannah's mother] Katie came back and broke the news to us, we thought, let's write a letter to Buckingham Palace," preschool director Robyn Herringer told ABC Radio Adelaide. "So the children wrote a letter and we sent some photos of her adventures, like at the Pyramids, to show them what Harriet looked like, what she had gotten up to and ask where she was last sighted and if they could possibly search for her."Staff from the visitor services team at Buckingham Palace wrote back, saying they had seen Harriet eating scones in a garden shed.

To repay them, she had to do a day of work as a palace warden, welcoming visitors at the start of their trip and giving out multimedia guides and headphones."The first email was beautiful about all the things that she had been up to so then they packaged and returned her to us complete with a whole lot of photos of her day as a member of the visitor services team."

Poor performances by AFL teams blamed for price rises at Adelaide OvalSports fans in Adelaide are set to be slugged more for food and drink at football and cricket matches, with Adelaide Oval management pointing the finger at both local AFL teams. How much is the AFL funded by Australian Government Grants? I'd say quite a few hundred million? Why do we spend this PLUS subsidise building stadiums? This makes complete sense *sarcasm*, most people bring their own food because footy food is far too expensive in the first place so let’s just increase the price more and have less people buying food
