IT was so fantastic to see the market temporarily back out on Tulip Street last weekend due to the Forest Fire Management staff using the oval and Rec Reserve facilities for firefighters.
The location gave that market atmosphere right when you arrived.
Our firefighters are relieved that the alarm did not go off last weekend after the earlier fires in Boho/Marraweeney - time for recovery.
New water pipes are still being laid in Hurt Street, thus the 40 km/h signage and holes are still around.
