This Weeks Local Mum, Shelley Millingen

27/12/2023

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.

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…

When the mercury rises, it’s time to grab your swimmers, hat and sunscreen and cool down in the tranquil waters along our stunning coastline. 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.
