One solution to Peter Blyth’s conundrum (Trend toward cashless disturbing, CCN 426) is to find a GP who bulk-bills. I know that it can be difficult, but now that they…
When is security at Bateau Bay shopping centre and the Police going to actually do something about the teenage delinquents riding e-scooters up and down the bus service area? Will…
Is Terrigal the wettest place on the Central Coast? As an old Bureau weatherman I’m always interested in the rainfall differences we experience across the Central Coast and on occasion…
I was surprised by the story on moving a 477-tonne transformer from Victoria to NSW (Giant transformer on 1,000km trip to Colongra, CCN 425), not just because of the massive…
The trial game debacle that was Souths versus Manly at Gosford Stadium on Sunday, February 11, was a travesty to both the game and the thousands of rugby league supporters…
