Dear Readers,
Spring is here and now is the time to bring more colour into your
home.
Colours say: fresh air, flowers in bloom, cool breezes, and
carefree afternoons. Embrace love for Spring by decorating your
indoor or outdoor areas with the colours of flower blossoms, green
grass and deep ocean blues to capture the beauty of nature.
Time to step outdoors and explore our pristine beaches,
stunning natural features and our picturesque national parks. We
are so lucky to live in a local community of such good people who
are caring and go out of their way to help complete strangers in the
true Aussie way.
Every year, Royal Life Saving produces a National Drowning
Report. This report examines the factors that contribute to
drowning deaths in Australia by examining who, where, when and
how people have drowned in Australian waterways, and sadly over
the last year in 2016, 280 people drowned.
I would like to make our community aware of how to identify a
rip in the ocean as the calm water is attractive to bathers and this
is in a lot of instances, where these dangerous rips are on our
beaches. Please take a moment to have a look on page 6 at our
“How to spot a rip” diagrams and stay safe this season.
It is also time to prepare your homes for our dangerous fire
season that will be upon us in the coming months. Be sure to find
out from your local Fire Brigades an emergency evacuation plan
for your area just in case of an emergency to keep your family and
pets safe.
I hope you enjoy our Spring issue,
Stay safe and happy reading...

Colourful Bedrooms
One of the easiest ways to get
a colourful bedroom is to start
with colourful bedding and build
your colour scheme from there.
Use one colour for the walls and
other colours for accessories, but
don’t feel like you need to colour
everything. Find the paint that
matches the mood you want in
your room.
Whether you want a bright,
cheery bedroom or a simple, calm
escape, get colour inspiration to
create your own perfect retreat.
There are so many amazing
options, to suits all tastes from
the most classic linen to the
most colourful, clashing prints
and patterns now available to
brighten your homes.
