Looks like TMR are doing more work on the Front Road towards Neranwood from April 27th to the end of June. Various websites say stop/go and potential delays. Might pay to keep using the back road for a bit longer...

Ever thought of joining the SES? They are looking for new recruits and this week is the week to pop in and see what its all about and join up if you like it. It's a great crowd of people and some really interesting and varied work and training!

We are organising another Trash & Treasure trail for May 22nd and 23rd! There will be sausage sizzles up here and in Numinbah as well as carboot sales and a kids clothing bonanza. Start your decluttering and plan your garage sale for one or both of these dates. Join together with a friend and start saving your coins to nab all those bargains!

Stay safe. Stay in the loop.
