Northern Rivers Preschools join Day of Action, calling on the Minns government to fix preschool funding.

Macadamia nuts: The diva of the orchard

Dunoon and District Gazette
Agriculture
The Fruity (and Nut) Farmer. Let me start by saying this: macadamia nuts are not just nuts. They are the Beyoncé of nuts. Beautiful, bouncy, nicely rounded, high-maintenance, and fully aware that they're better than you ... nothing has ever judged me harder than a macadamia tree.

From Dapto to Dunoon – the Dorrough family story

Dunoon and District Gazette
History & heritage
Peter Dorrough. In the 1860's both John and James Dorrough took up land grants on the plateau above Illawarra escarpment, and commenced, once again, land clearing, which was part of the condition of the grant ... in 1867, Matthew leased the property "Kalmar" at Dapto, and took Martha to live with his son James, Mary Ann and children at Kangaloon.

Dunoon and District Gazette

Ross McDougall. Last year the Dorrobbee Grass Reserve Trust approached the Dunoon Men's Shed to assist them with making a sign to be placed on the roadside of Dunoon Road to highlight the location of the significant ecological grassland site.

Dunoon and District Gazette

Tony Rowlands. During the First World War, eight Australian nurses were awarded the Military Medal, the highest Imperial award that was available to them ...
