We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Crafted from high-quality wood beads in an intricate floral design, these mats add a touch of natural elegance and boho charm to any table. They're flexible, easy to clean, and perfect for protecting surfaces while enhancing your meals or gatherings.
Originally part of a set of 6 bought online, but I've downsized to a 3-seater dining table, so these extras are up for grabs. In excellent condition – barely used, no stains or damage. Dimensions approx. [add measurements if you have them, e.g., 30x45cm each].
Priced at just $15 for the lot – a steal for eco-friendly, handmade-style decor! Pickup in [your location] or can arrange local delivery. Message me for more details or to snag them before they're gone!

There’s no roadworks for the holiday break from Friday 19 December, and all lanes will be fully open. Contractors are back to work on Monday 5 January, at night. Plan ahead for lane closures, night-time road closures and speed restrictions until mid-February. When the highway is closed, detours are via State Highway 59 and State Highway 58.
Chip-seal works begin in early January, so drivers must do 30km/h to prevent flying chip that can damage vehicles.
