Plea to shop locally

We would like to extend a big thank you to all of those who have donated money to the flood appeal, and to all those who have helped clean up. It has been greatly appreciated.
It should be remembered that local businesses and people who own property and farms in the local area have also suffered damage. So to help these people, we’re sure local businesses would recover more quickly if we all tried to shop locally. Once again, thank you to all those who have helped in the recent floods.

Crystal Huang and
Troy Whelan, Stanthorpe
