Cheers to another year
By Sheree Hoddinett Every new year, on the stroke of midnight, we often perform the same ritual. Fireworks crackle and pop, glasses clink and somewhere between the usual “Happy New Year” chorus and the first regret of the year, we make promises to ourselves that would impress even the most optimistic life coach.

Dispose of batteries correctly
Beat up batteries carelessly tossed in the bin are causing headaches for City of Moreton Bay’s waste facility workers.

School holiday fun in your backyard: Thrilling local sports activities for kids!
By Chase Christensen It’s the busiest time of year for parents, as the summer school holidays are here, lasting 6-8 weeks, but may feel like 20 for some. Due to winter sports such as rugby league, soccer and Australian rules football being the pinnacle of our local sports base and most popular in the Moreton Bay area, it may be challenging to find suitable sporting activities for children. Bribie Island Golf Club Golf isn’t always seen as a top-tier sport for youth; how
