Firewood
I know it’s only spring, weird though the weather may be lately, but have you thought about next year? Probably not.
So, let me tell you a secret. Now is the time to order your firewood delivery.
I’ve just been down to Tumu to pick up a boot load, just in case. They have so much wood at the moment that if you ordered it now you’d get it delivered well in advance of needing it, and long before demand forces the price up.
$140 for a cord delivered or 2 cord for $260. And if you get it now, you will know it will be dry for winter.
You can also buy by the boot/trailer/horse float/ute if you have a tow bar, or by the truck load.
So, give it a thought and give them a call, now, to save ending up like so many this past winter, myself included.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
