Poolside Playground Seating

Installed

A joint project with Port Wakefield Community Management Committee, Port Wakefield Community Newsletter, Clementina Corner Cottage and Wakefield Regional Council purchased and installed five (5) bench seats in Port Wakefield Township. Two seats were placed in the playground, one outside Clementina Corner Cottage, one in the park area at the Wharf and one in the park area where the Rivergum Information Centre had been located. Thank you to all who supported the raffles run by the Community Newsletter to raise

funds for the playground benches.

Would you believe? After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies.

The deception wasn’t discovered for 3 days.

Qantas launches flights to Kangaroo Island One of Australia’s premier eco-tourism destinations is becoming easier to visit thanks to an airport expansion that has attracted direct flights from Qantas.

Kangaroo Island is just 200 kilometres from Adelaide, and has been accessible by SeaLink ferry or REX air services.

An $18 million upgrade of the Kangaroo Island terminal has allowed Qantas to offer direct flights from Adelaide and Melbourne during the island’s busy summer months.

The flights will commence from December 2017, as part of an agreement between Qantas, the South Australian Government, Kangaroo Island Council and Adelaide Airport Limited, and are now on sale with special launch airfares starting at $99 one-way. Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third biggest offshore island and has long been regarded as one of the world’s most pristine natural environments. By Jim Plouffe – From Inside South Australia, the State’s Site.
