25.01.2022 We're in for some wild weather this weekend everyone, with the Bureau of Meteorology issuing a severe weather warning for the MidCoast as well as a hazardous su...rf warning. Our team will be keeping a close eye on our vulnerable beaches, particularly at Manning Point, Old Bar and Jimmys Beach. Please practice caution this weekend, we're expecting significant wave height in excess of 5 metres. Beach conditions could be dangerous with abnormally high tides and people should stay well away from the surf and exposed areas.

02.01.2022 It's the first day of winter and things are cooling down Cooler months see a 10% increase in the number of home fires, with more fires in bedrooms and loung...erooms due to heaters, electric blankets, so it's important to refresh yourself on important winter fire safety tips. Did you know that you will not smell smoke while asleep? Only working smoke alarms save lives. Test your alarms and change the battery as required.
