From a family history point of view the digital edition of The Advertiser at least gives me the option of viewing the obituaries, etc. and clipping electronic copies as needed, without having to bother with the physical paper or leaving home.

Looks like The Pines Shopping Precinct is getting another look. A $50M retail development is being planned for the corner Flagstaff and Black Roads, Flagstaff Hill. Article in this week's Southern Times.

that would be a waste of quality land; not to mention the fact that it would only lead to further desertion of the Western Park-lands. If we let the developers off their leash we wouldn't have any parklands/gardens to enjoy :shock: Some people do appreciate the "green belt" surrounding th...
