21 Jul 10 | IN just under five weeks we'll all be off to the polls to decide who leads our nation for the next three years.
For the media, the signal that the election campaign is truly underway brings with it a whole raft of new challenges and demands.
21 Jul 10 | I COULDN’T help but notice that council has installed play equipment at Rotary Park that is actually lots of fun!
We used to play on similar "spinny things" as children when sadly they disappeared from parks due to council’s fear of public liability.

14 Jul 10 | THE patronage at the Rotary Park playground has certainly increased over the last few days and it was great to see so many happy mums, dads and kids enjoying the new playground.
14 Jul 10 | Well the rooster has come to home to roost for those who opposed the rate rise.
07 Jul 10 | THE Narooma News a few weeks back argued that the special rate variation should be approved to allow council to continue providing the valuable services and amenities we all enjoy.
07 Jul 10 | I WOULD like to make a few comments regarding Suzanne McDonald’s letter Master Chef: Smoked Kebab of Penguin (Narooma News letters – June 30).
The implied criticism of the Narooma National Parks and Wildlife Service staff, most of whom have worked for many years at the Narooma office of the NSW NPWS, is undeserved.
30 Jun 10 | Now…regardless of how she came to power, our first female Prime Minister is an absolute breath of fresh air when it comes to population and religion.
30 Jun 10 | FRIENDS, Australians and countrymen, lend me your ears.
If Kevin Rudd was Julius Caesar he would have said "Yond 'Julia has a lean and hungry look, she thinks to much, such women are dangerous "
"It is not these long well-fed hairy men I fear, but the pale and hungry looking red-head women."
23 Jun 10 | I was a bit reluctant to put the Marine Rescue vessel on the front page again but then I thought the apparent targeted act of vandalism on the fuel tank was just too shocking and plain evil to pass up.
23 Jun 10 | RECENTLY I supported the Eurobodalla Shire Council’s attempts to get a rate rise to maintain services like our shark net. In most departments I can see value for money in our Council.
16 Jun 10 | THE Narooma Port Committee wishes to register our strong protest at the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) automatically demonizing recreational fishers as the cause of death of three seals (NN 02/06/2010, p24).
16 Jun 10 | IT'S time to get out your pens and computers out to ask the State Government to approve the collecting of monies to help pay for vital council and marine rescue services.
09 Jun 10 | I’m not going to deny the fact being involved with something makes you much more passionate.
And that is the case with the shark net.
I love swimming alongside it and watching the schools of blackfish nipping at the weed, the bream and whiting on the bottom and even once or twice a seahorse or two.
09 Jun 10 | THE NSW National Parks and Wildlife people have recently advised in the local media that they have nearly completed their burning season.
They congratulate themselves on a job well done, although I doubt if many of them could correctly identify even 10 percent of the flora and fauna they've destroyed.
02 Jun 10 | THE Narooma district has for the second time in less than six months faced another significant natural disaster.
The good news was that it was another chance for the community to pull together and help each other out.
And despite trees falling on a number of buildings and littering the roadsides there were no serious injuries or fatalities.
02 Jun 10 | ON Sunday awaking to atrocious weather conditions and realising there was no power supply, there was much moaning and groaning from this particular camp.
Oh dear, no hot water, no lights, no phone, no computer, no heater. How will I survive without hot coffee to start my day? Moan, groan, whinge!
26 May 10 | ONE has to welcome the new research being done by the State Environment Department,
One key argument of the Batemans Marine Park opponents is that the sanctuary zones were selected without adequate science, and this will be argued at today’s recreational fishing inquiry.
26 May 10 | I ASKED the Eurobodalla Shire Council, three weeks ago, if they could publicly clarify two points in their recently released Draft Recreation Strategy, so as to make clear to the people of Narooma what could happen if the strategy is adopted as it is.
19 May 10 | THE front page headline last week read: “The best Oyster Festival yet”.
Some would say that was a bit premature but if I was a gambling man, I would have backed a winner!
19 May 10 | IN last Wednesday’s BayPost, the editor's negative comments about Mike Kelly and the front page article seems to contradict the Where's Mike Campaign. How can you say he's never here, but on the other hand, he is in Batemans Bay the same week as you say he is not?
