Our treasured Anzac Day on 25 April is one of the most moving events in our calendar , so make time to attend a local service to commemorate our brave service men and women who have served and who are still serving . The RSL Sub-Branch , p23 , has details of local services .
Council is going above and beyond to get mitigation flood plans in place , p4 / 5 . The Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley is ‘ one of the most dangerous ’ floodplains in the country . Residents are being asked for their input in joining a community panel that will develop a strategy that will improve flood preparedness and save lives . Mayor Sarah McMahon is also reinviting the Premier to the area to witness our challenges .
Another major calendar event of a different kind is the international event at Windsor Polo Club on 7 April , p33 .
HDI
Players and fans from around the world will descend on the Hawkesbury to watch Australian Polo at its best .
‘ Anybody feel like a walk ?’ Perhaps not a good idea to ask Sonia Young , who , with her husband , Todd , walked from her home in Bligh Park to Port Macquarie ! This was to fundraise for the amazing organisation Soldier On , p13 .
The Eather Group from Londonderry recently won the Indigenous Excellence Award at the 2024 Telstra Best of Business Awards . This waste management company employs 90 per cent locals and 35 per cent of staff are Indigenous .
For the love of Toby is a heart warming story of a neglected horse ready for the knackery who was saved by a local woman to become a distinguished member of the NSW Mounted Police for 13 years , p8 / 9 .
Lest we forget .
