22.01.2022 A most successful wood raffle and sausage sizzle was held this morning out the front of Perry's Butchers. The Historical Society and the Machinery Club have joined forces for the "Wizard" Restoration Fund, to raise a bit of money to help keep it on the road Today's wood was won by Kerrie Raglus. Thanks to everyone who supported the morning

18.01.2022 It’s extremely frustrating to have to write this but sadly our little shop was broken into over night . Lucky nothing of value was taken, but the stupidity wa...s shown in the flipping over of our table and setting off the fire extinguisher. Very petty acts, that while not major, do cost money, time and effort on our behalf and the local police who have to deal with it. The solar powered security camera on the corner of the petrol station block was also damaged and the security company have been notified, now they also have the time, costs and effort to fix that. Hopefully no one else around town suffered at the hands of these criminals. If you saw anything please let us know. To those responsible, please find activities of value to do with your time. Stop using the I’m bored excuse and put your efforts into bettering yourself and the community, a lot of us grew up here and we managed to find plenty of things to do without ruining other people’s property. Oh and thanks for wasting my Sunday Kellie. See more

When I first started going out there, Graham...Continue reading
