It's finally arrived. After months of being cooped up in our homes, October is finally the time when we can begin getting back to normal.
Australians can start booking trips again, we can finally get that 'Friday feeling' before a big night out with all our mates and before long we'll be making the most amazing memories at events and festivals that we'll never take for granted ever again.
So as we count down the days until we're free, we've hand-picked some of the things we're most excited for this month - including an out of this world documentary, a crisp new drink to try and epic travel ideas to get you prepared for adventure.
What to watch: Unidentified with Demi Lovato
Tune in: Stream Unidentified with Demi Lovato, exclusively on hayu now
It's a question that's baffled the minds of society longer than Melbourne has been in lockdown - do UFOs exist? Is there life on other planets, and have they visited us?
Whether you're a sceptic or are absolutely certain there's something more, then Unidentified with Demi Lovato will keep you more than entertained.
The four-part docuseries arrived exclusively on hayu on October 1, and follows the popular singer, their sceptical BFF Matthew and their sister Dallas as they search for the truth about the UFO phenomenon.
During each episode, Demi, 28, and their loved ones gain insight into the reality behind extraterrestrials as they pick the brains of elite scientists and eyewitnesses who've experienced an encounter with UFOs.
Synopsis: During each episode Demi, 29, and their loved ones gain insight into the reality behind extraterrestrials as they pick the brains of elite scientists and eyewitnesses who claim to have encountered UFOs
Demi believes that UFOs do exist after having a hair-raising moment with something they believe was extraterrestrial.
As a result, they do everything in their power to find out the truth about what happened - and take fans along on the adventure.
'I had this crazy experience that happened in Joshua Tree - it was this right light that kind of moved in these weird ways, that a plane wouldn't move,' Demi says in the trailer.
'My goal is to find out what really happened.'
'What if extraterrestrials aren't traveling lightyears to visit us?' Demi asks in the trailer. 'What if they're already here waiting for us to reach out?'
As Demi seeks to 'make contact with the truth' about extraterrestrial life, they wonder if aliens could be closer to earth than most would expect.
'What if extraterrestrials aren't traveling lightyears to visit us?' the star asks. 'What if they're already here waiting for us to reach out?'
So grab some popcorn, take a seat and get ready for some intergalactic entertainment courtesy - you're not going to want to miss it.
