Sue Weaver's photo from 1947 shows how Blenheim has since spread towards the Wither Hills. Do you remember when there were more paddocks on Alabama Rd than houses?

This lowlife/lowlifes delivered some wood to my daughter today that was absolutely drenched.
My wife was promised that the wood was dry and ready to burn. We needed it urgently and these "bottom feeders" ripped us off!
We weren't there to check it our daughter was.
Please circulate this to everybody you can in any way you can.
Thanks

Signs have popped up on Middle Renwick Rd urging motorists to drive with their lights on during the day, after one resident's safety concerns.
What do you think? Are lights needed during daylight hours?

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

An "old and tired" woolshed in the Wither Hills will be repaired to hold one last shearing, before potentially being replaced.
The almost 100-year-old woolshed at the end of Old Redwood Rd and at the base of Mount Vernon was issued an Improvement Notice by WorkSafe in May.

The almost 100-year-old woolshed at the end of Old Redwood Rd and at the base of Mount Vernon was issued an Improvement Notice by WorkSafe in May.
Council originally thought they could fix up the existing shed, but were now recommending to council that the shed should be replaced

Former motelier Eric Collins, who had worked to bring a gondola to Picton for 30 years, said "Picton needs it more than I do...I don't need that stress."

Picton is expected to hit 100,000 cruise ship passengers for the first time during the 2019-20 season, which kicks off in October. That's up 15,000 passengers from last season.
What do you think? Is the seaside town ready for the increase? What could it do to better prepare in future?

Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?
Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.
The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?
