Daisy and Aurora | Independant Twins
Age: 29
From: QLD/NSW
Daisy and Aurora spent their lives embracing their individuality and only found out they were identical recently. For 29 years they thought they were fraternal.
Both played guitar and sang and they had a song in the Triple J Unearthed finals.
Academically they both got the same OP score, but when they saw the results they thought it was rigged so that they wouldn't feel bad. Daisy and Aurora did the same subjects at school and were top in art in their class. When they went to uni they did different degrees.
Ashleigh and Taegan | Mirror Twins
Age: 34
From: NSW
Ashleigh and Taegan are 'mirror twins' meaning that they have distinctly opposite physical features, creating a mirror-like reflection of one another.
When Ashleigh was living in the UK she got a severely swollen foot. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong. It turned out Taegan had stepped on a bee (they are both allergic) and as soon as Ashleigh found out her foot went down.
When Taegan had a car accident it turned out that day Ashleigh hadn't driven all day because she dreamt she had a car accident.
Their parents say things like this have been going on since they were small when they lost and gained teeth together on the same day but on different sides of their mouth.
Craig and Paul | Generational Twins
Age: 52
From: VIC
Craig and Paul are from a lineage of twins, with their grandpa being a twin, as well as Paul having twin boys. The two of them both believe that they've grown to be more identical over time.
They believe that growing up and having the same hobbies has shaped their similar interests later on in life.
Bridget and Zeph, they/them (formerly Sophie) | Wildlife Warriors
Age: 27
From: NSW
Bridget and Zeph are open and honest twins that talk at a million miles an hour. They are full of energy and sound just like each other.
Inspired by Steve Irwin at a young age they are very much in the true-blue Aussie mould and are happiest in their khakis.
Charles and Lachlan | Farm Boys
Age: 40
From: VIC/NSW
These brothers feel very close despite not living in the same state.
The two have followed very similar career paths. Both studied a Bachelor of Commerce and played Australian rules football for over 10 years.
Jack and Harry | Boxing Brothers
Age: 12
From: NSW
These boys do everything together and say they look out for one another. Jack prefers to play sport including rugby and soccer while Harry prefers to draw.
Jack is two minutes older than Harry and he's not afraid to let Harry, or anyone else know it!
When they were born they were placed in the same bassinet to comfort each other and so the bond was forged early.
Craig and Brenton | Telepathic Twins
Age: 48
From: NSW
These identical twins are best friends who have always felt each other's physical and emotional pain.
Their mother said that when they were little, one would fall over and hit their head and the other would grab their head and scream.
This connection became lifesaving when Brenton was experiencing headaches and knew something was wrong. The surprise came when scans revealed that it was Craig who had a large brain tumour even though Brenton was the one who felt sick.
Jamie and Stephanie | Inseparable Sisters
Age: 27
From: VIC
This pair of twins are inseparable. They do everything together. They have the same friends, have the same hobbies, go on holiday together, have the same job and finish each other's sentences. It's like talking to one person with two voices.
