Ethan's life was surrounded by drugs and alcohol due to gang-affiliated friends and family. But after losing loved ones, he joined a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme. Initially hesitant and shy, he gradually gained confidence, showed his humour and found his voice.

The programme helped him explore different career paths and Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort. The Foundation took the opportunity to hire him and he now helps other young people involved in the programme on their career journeys.

Black bark

Sonia from Parkvale

I’ve seen black bark in a few gardens and wondered where you get it? It’s more a shredded bark than nuggets. It’s definitely a black colour as opposed to the normal brown we all see around.
I did find some by Daltons but it’s sold by the bag, which obviously isn’t economical. Is anyone… View more

I did find some by Daltons but it’s sold by the bag, which obviously isn’t economical. Is anyone familiar with it and where to buy it by the scoop?

12 labeled pantry storage containers $60

Sonia from Parkvale

Price is firm, the labels were custom and cost over $30, so I think $60 is fair.

I’m replacing my pantry storage, so no longer need these. There’s nothing wrong with them, all in excellent condition, I just wanted new ones to match my other things. They are all labeled as you can see, if … View more
Price is firm, the labels were custom and cost over $30, so I think $60 is fair.

I’m replacing my pantry storage, so no longer need these. There’s nothing wrong with them, all in excellent condition, I just wanted new ones to match my other things. They are all labeled as you can see, if you can’t see, the labels are:
- Standard flour - Wholemeal flour
- Self raising flour - High grade flour
- Raw sugar - White sugar
- Icing sugar - Brown sugar
- Caster Sugar - Coconut
- Almond meal - Rolled oats

Dimensions:
Height 19.5cm (to top of white lid)
Width 10cm
Depth 20cm
Volume: 3L (roughly)

I’ve given them a quick clean, but could do with a better one, I can see smudges etc still. DO NOT put in the dishewaher or even submerge in water for long. I don’t think the labels will like that.
