Community chaplain Reverend Karen Paull is holding a labyrinth in Bodalla on Tuesday, March 26, 3-4pm, at the Bodalla Anglican Church. A labyrinth is a path to the centre where people tend to stop and reflect, then walk out following the path. It is a quietening and contemplative practice used across the world for about 4000 years. It is not restricted to any particular faith although some ancient ones are found in church. A labyrinth can be walked alone or as a group. Reverend Paull is hosting monthly group ones on the fourth Tuesday of the month. She does them with Jan Ryan who has many skills to augment the experience. The group walks in silence with the opportunity to debrief afterwards. Reverend Paull and a team also host weekly Wellbeing Walks along the Narooma foreshore meeting at 10am on Tuesdays at the Rotary Park shelters. Both events are free. Please contact Reverend Paull on 0400299751 or KarenP@cruc.org.au for initial registration for either event.

Essential repairs and maintenance on Wallaga Lake Bridge has begun. The bridge will remain open to traffic as early work begins, including setting up the site compound and receiving deliveries. Motorists may experience a five-minute delay at times. The early work will prepare the site for the first full closure beginning Monday, April 29, for up to four weeks, weather permitting. Based on community feedback, Transport for NSW is putting together a plan of targeted support strategies to reduce the impacts on the community from the bridge's closure. It is working with local bus operators to develop a timetable of free shuttle buses to assist the community during the two closure periods. Information about the bus service, including timetable, start and finish times and location of bus stops, will be published on the project's website on April 15.

Animal Welfare League Eurobodalla is looking for a home for Skip, a four-year-old mixed breed, medium-sized male dog. Skip only has three legs but that does not stop him enjoying life and providing wonderful companionship to his human family. This relaxed boy would love to be the only dog in the home where he can be the centre of attention. Skip will benefit from ongoing training and would do best in a home without young children as he tends to round them up, suggesting his breeding may include Kelpie or Cattle Dog. Skip is desexed, microchipped and vaccinated and ready for his new home. If you would like to meet him, please call AWL Eurobodalla on 0410 016 612.

Beautiful Blue is available for just $200, and comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and flea, tick and worm treated. Please contact Animal Welfare League Eurobodalla on 0410016612 to meet Blue.
