Our small local bakeries need our support. It is convenient to purchase our baked goods from the big chains, but it’s our small bakers who need your support. They give so much back to the community through sponsorships and donations. Plus, they make fantastic baked goods. We have multiple bakeries throughout the area, Staker’s Bakery 165, Oxenford Bakery, Coomera River Bakery, Bakers Delight Oxenford and Helensvale.

After a week of listening to how NSW will smash Queensland, I was please to give Rod and Emma from Cafe Tahbella a kind hearted gift. There very own Maroons football! The football should be displayed in their cafe for at least 7 days (preferably 12 months) to remind them of the AWESOME game last night! Support our local businesses, especially our NSW Supporters in their time of sadness.
