22.01.2022 Petrol prices have jumped across the Gold Coast as travel restrictions begin to ease. From this weekend we are allowed to travel up to 150 kilometres from home. RACQ spokesperson Renee Smith says service stations had been offering fuel for under $1 per litre but after a month of record low prices, the cost of petrol is rising.... Ms Smith says petrol is expected to reach $1.20 per litre as part of the regular price cycle. "So with this cycle the cheap prices do always come to an end." "The timing is incredibly frustrating for motorists though of course, we enjoyed those record low prices when hardly any of us were using our cars and now that the restrictions are easing theyre going up."

16.01.2022 Gorgeous! Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary needs your help to name its latest Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby joey. It needs to be a name from an animated series. Your suggestions , please. 14 month old Rocko is pictured with mum and dad and is named after an American animated television series called 'Rocko's Modern Life'. What should the new Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby be called? Some facts about the species:... The Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby is listed as Vulnerable in Queensland. There was once a population at Lamington National Park but it appears that population is now extinct. This species prefers rocky habitats, including loose boulder-piles, rocky outcrops, steep rocky slopes, cliffs, gorges and isolated rock stacks. They are mostly found on isolated rocky escarpments along the Great Dividing Range. Brush-tailed Rock Wallabies are polygamous and a dominant male will be found with up to four females. Threats include habitat degradation; small population size; low migration rates; drought; fire; disease; competition and predation by other wild animals. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary See more

11.01.2022 From Mother's Day, social distancing restrictions will be relaxed even further. Here's how it'll work: There is no limit on how many people are in the household that is being visited for example, five family members can go and visit another household that may have 10 family members.... You can go beyond the 50-kilometre limit, but you must stay at the household you're visiting and you will not be allowed to venture into the community. You can have more than one visit for example, you are allowed to visit one household in the morning, and a second in the afternoon (but you can't have both of those households over at your place at the same time). The changes are expected to last from Sunday onward.
