Street Libraries

December 29, 2023

Street libraries are community-led initiatives, which spread the joy of reading with visitors and locals alike. If you have ever wondered what they were, or wondered how to start one, here’s the scoop! Over the past few years, a growing number of Street Libraries have been popping up across Randwick City. Affixed to brick walls, standing on posts, tied to front gates, their brightly painted exterior inviting passers-by to pause on their journey and peruse the harlequin collection of books housed within.

This Weeks Local Mum, Shelley Millingen

December 27, 2023

Hello there, I’m Shell, and I’ve been calling the Eastern Suburbs home since 1994 when I first set foot in this colourful corner of Sydney. It’s the heart of my story, now shared with my two wonderful kids. My journey here has been as diverse as the Eastern Suburbs itself.

You don’t want your little ones to get sick, and whenever they do, you probably wish you were able to protect them better.

Your child needs to be able to experience the world- to touch it and interact with it. They can’t do that if they are kept away from everything. However, there are some things that you can do to…

We picked five of our favourite spots to keep cool this summer. 1) Snorkelling in Camp Cove Camp Cove Beach is one of those ‘secret’ spots that locals would love to keep all to themselves but we think it’s too special not to share.
