IT IS good to see that our town is returning to some semblance of order in the Central Business District with the opening of a new much-needed service station.
The loss of our only BP service station meant that motorists had to drive over the river for the closest refill.
Now the former BP has turned into a United facility and it has brightened the southern end of the CBD enormously.

FOR any of our readers who have not been to see the Ephemera entries in Lloyd Mann Gardens, now is the time to put it on the “To Do” List for the rest of this month.
THE annual Home Hill Harvest Festival will rise towards its climax in the early weeks of November, as the wide range of festival functions that commenced in October continue through to more programmed events that will conclude with the Gala Ball on Friday and the Street Party planned for Saturday, November 11 2023.
BURDEKIN residents will be able to really add to their Christmas this year as they undertake a journey Around the World in 20 Songs through the talents of the members of the Home Hill Choral Society.
The Society’s productions have been growing in popularity amongst their supporters and this one will be no exception, as patrons enjoy 20 traditional/folk songs from places around the world such as Australia, Ireland, Scotland and America – to name a few – as well as Humour – also from all over the world – at a cost of $35 per head, which includes entertainment and supper.
IS YOUR picture among the hundreds that are displayed on the new and unique “Gateway to Home Hill” that is now open for all to see in the Lloyd Mann Gardens in Eighth Avenue?

The September 2023 Home Hill News is now available on the website.
THE growing crime wave spreading throughout our nation has not missed the Home Hill region. However, the local community is not sitting back and taking what is being dished out by the young criminals, as a meeting held in the town was moved to combat Home Hill’s youth crime.
