Season begins
Thredbo had a great start to the season with snow falling up top from the minute the Gondola started turning.
The atmosphere was high with people keen to make the most of first turns.

Riposte

More letters and more numbers
Editor,
Following the Post letter, “Have your say” by Phil Daley on 05/05/21, “Council’s moral obligation” by Bill Smits on 12/05/21, “Please buy what we’re selling you” on 14/04/21, and the “Postman” on 26/05/21, I raise further concerns about SMRC notification letters regarding our assets being reclassified to “operational” land.
The Post Man Calls

Riposte by Lisa Ashurst
Some people like to trawl garage sales or village shops, or drive around checking out the local sights, but The Bloke and I sometimes get the yen to take a quiet drive through some of the little pocket communities around these parts and check out the houses.
Cuts and bruises
Editor,
In response to the Post article, “Council cuts services to reduce budget deficit” on 21/04/21, I feel it is particularly strange how our community (who receive the “services”) were never involved in this exercise. Surely, the very recent financial changes (which seem to be still occurring given May 2021’s Council meeting papers) alter the state of what Council is proposing as a draft budget and operational plan for public exhibition? So, what was placed on display should be updated and then re-posted for another 28 days.

Schute Bell wool report
