If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.
Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.

I was talking with a fellow breweress who gives her grain away to people with chooks. Apparently the chooks absolutely love it. I stress there is no alcohol in the grain at all so you're not going to have pissed chooks, as funny as that would be😂😂.
So, if you have chooks and want maybe 8-10kg of grain, please let me know.
Cheers
Ben
