    Shocking Outcome: See How a Tasmanian Adventure Ended in a Tourist Losing a Leg!

    I felt so sorry for this poor man when I heard about this on our local news. It would have been very challenging for all the rescue workers & the poor doctor who performed the amputation in trying conditions. I did hear that the patient recovered well & I think may have even returned home.

    Big change coming to iconic café chain and what it means for your favourite treats

    We haven’t had this chain in Tasmania but I’m certainly aware of them. Fancy ending up with more Gloria Jeans, last time I visited one I was astonished at the prices of their cakes & slices, which really weren’t very nice. It’s sad to see so many businesses closing down.

    Woman loses everything to a removalist scam — Read this before you spend a dime on your next move!

    How terrible for this poor lady, what a shame that her family weren’t more involved in helping her organise her move. I wouldn’t have been confident that my parents were okay to organise a move at that age. No offence to our older members but my late parents wouldn’t have embraced computers...

    I’ll put this on my list Reet & I’m sure I will squirm too. Have you read Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult? It’s about a black nurse who has worked as a midwife for years, when she was assigned to care for a newborn white baby & of course the baby’s father objected & didn’t want her anywhere...

    SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS...

    I know but most of the funds will come from here. I’m in favour of the football team but the stadium will be a problem especially when things such as catering & the electronic screens haven’t been budgeted for. Of course our Premier has assured us that there won’t be any blowouts in the stadium...
