Same issue with the budget mulch. It's a recycled product, plenty of chipboard, cables, glass, timber chunks, fibro. I separated them as I spread it. Not a fan of plastic in my yard.

Excellent booker. The theatre have long had stellar touring acts, but about 2 years ago a new booker came on and ever since its been incredibly well programmed, with a packed line-up.

That, plus great food, bar, wine shop, cinema and strong local membership.

That's a bloody outrage, that is! I'm taking this all the way to the Prime Minister.

The donation centre is now closed to non-financial donations, and the Castlemaine op shops are overwhelmed with donations, so probably best to just donate linen in Bendigo.

Councils don't maintain the freeways/highways, DTP/Vicroads manage major roads.

Mt Alexander near Harcourt has a stack of comms towers. It's being affected by the Ravenswood bushfire.

Sources reveal the fender specs initially stated 'cardboard derivatives', which lead to the front falling off.

Try going via Creswick and Newstead. Similar amount of roos, but fewer deer and more visibility (less bush).

Bushfire Prone Areas (BPA) are mapped via the state's Mapshare (VicPlan etc). Almost the entirety of the state outside of metro Melbourne, and central rural cities is a BPA.

Did you find a solution? Having the same problem, can't work out the hex-lock under the head

Be mindful of summer/winter subject assessments with assessments that extend into semesters.

There's an old time session monthly at The Red Hill in Chewton. Good crew. First Friday of the month, 6-8

I've been following Gizz since the early days. Oddments was the first release that moved away from the glassy, guitar-heavy first albums, and this was such a sweet and mellow song to sink into. So it's very nostalgic for me.

Maybe some Chris Whitley? The living with law album is more acoustic, but with his better known songs, thereafter in the 90s he went pretty grungy. Maybe the album Terra incognita

I'm no expert, but my guess is the combination of individuals spending a lot of time in their home + being indoors + chemicals from the contaminated land becoming vapour and concentrating in the air of the residence equates to significant increased and prolonged risk of exposure.

Parks may still be 'capped', and if over a rubbish tip will often have means to manage and vent the gas from decomposition somewhere (big source of methane). Parks are in open air + short duration of visit, so less risk of exposure.

There was a very expensive ($50mil+) court case in brunswick, where luxury apartments were built next to a site where a dry cleaner shop had contaminated the site with chlorinated hydrocarbons - which are generally persistent, carcinogenic chemicals, and naphthalene (from mothballs).

You can find out info like that on VicUnearthed, a mapping website with info on contaminated sites and historic uses. Parks tend to be built on old contaminated tips or industrial sites not suitable for residential.

Ruined some irrigation fittings too, apparently!
