One of the laughable traits is winning the raffle at the club, go to collect the prize with jeers from the older patrons "blow ins" they taunt. Yeah mate just blew in from my job at your school and the house that I bought in your town. Thanks for the welcoming box of fruit and the meat tray though.

The sooner you get involved in local organisations and contribute to the community the sooner you'll be included.

I think if you live here you are a local! You pay the same as everyone else do you should be classed the same.

I have been here over 20 years and find the town friendly and accepting, so the fact I am not called a local doesn't worry me. All it means is that I wasn't born here. Just join in whatever activities you wish to do and you'll feel at home in no time at all.

Robert Hawkins
Bush footy is dying. Where is the NRL?

Mark Love No EDEN tigers can't believe it what a shame that would be
