20.01.2022 The Australasian Federation of Family History Organisations (AFFHO) has confirmed that the National Genealogy Congress will be happening in the first week of August 2021. Norfolk Island is the place to be next August. Congress now has a website you can visit to get details as they are finalised, and you can book your place at Congress now. Earlybird pricing applies till 28 February 2021, and your place is confirmed once payment is received. This Congress will probably be a lo...t smaller that Sydney was, due to Covid constraints, so if you are coming, it is worth booking early. The website is at https://affhocongress2021.com/. You can book now, and also contact the local travel office to reserve your flight and accommodation needs. Cathy Dunn at Australian History Research is also operating packages to Norfolk for Congress - see her link in the comments below.

11.01.2022 I bought this house 8 years ago so that my Mum could be nearby. She loved it and looked after it for 6 years. Since then, we have had a lovely tenant in there for two years who has now moved to be closer to her family. The time has come to part with it. 20 years old and in great condition. Freshly painted interior. Helidon is 20minutes from Toowoomba, 20 minutes to Gatton, and the University of Queensland, and just over an hour to Brisbane. Diagonally across the street is a Spar Supermarket, and Post Office. Located in the main street, it is close to the primary school and day care centre, local hotel, RSL, Skate Park, Pony Club, Cricket Ground, Community Centre and War Memorial. The street is lined with 100 year old jacaranda trees. Please feel free to share. https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-helidon-13
