Highly successful Helensvale Farmers Market this morning with many stores selling out all their stock! These markets are a major fundraiser for the Helensvale State High School P&C.

Far better day to do a letterbox and chat with locals. Nice cool south easterly breeze.

Captain Richard Vernon Saunders (14th October 1921 - 25th January 2022) was a World War 2 veteran, a gentleman and a great believer in community. A 'life well-lived” Richard was one of our few remaining World War 2 veterans. A man who served his country with distinction throughout the Pacific war. Lest we forget.

Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony 2022 at Helensvale! Congratulations to all our newly minted Australian Citizens. 29 new Aussies at Helensvale took the pledge to become the newest Australians. Huge thank you to the Helensvale Lions Club for hosting this event.

Busy morning for the Coomera River Catchment Group water sampling Guanaba Creek. The group regularly samples our local water ways throughout the Northern Gold Coast. Due to the wet weather we have had an increase in reactive phosphates in the water.
