800 shopping bags given away, sausage sizzle has been flat out, Crime Stoppers has been non stop. Busy busy busy day at Pacific Pines Winterfest. Plus add all the residents I’ve been chatting with, super busy day.

Full house at tonight Southern Astronomical Society meeting! I think it’s a record number of guests attending. Awesome night to look up at the stars and the rising moon

Big day for the scouts at Nerang! It’s been an exhausting day for both the scouts and their leaders. Parents of the scouts will have a peaceful night as I reckon most of the scout will be fast asleep by the time they get home.

Interesting presentation by Marie Jackson at tonight’s Rotary meeting. Marie has returned from visiting Saint Jude School in Tanzania. Gemma Sisia started the school almost two decades ago. She had a vision to help poor children in Tanzania get a education. After every school day, the child would return home and teach his or her bothers and sisters what they had learnt that day.
