From men’s health to bowls

UNFORTUNATELY, once you get a fire like this started in a river bend, there is not much you can do except wait it out. The fire got into another tree today and put a fair bit of smoke up. All within the containment lines...

The heat was ‘egg-sacting’

FORTY SIX degrees on Monday. All I can say is at least it wasn’t on Saturday for our races. It did not quite hit the predicted peak on our back verandah. But it did hit 44 just briefly. This was our first day over 40 this year as far as I can...
