Have you lived in The Wood at anytime since the 60s?
I am interested in corresponding with anyone who has lived in the reclaimed area of The Wood, where the rubbish tip was covered over before being built on.
Our family home, where we still live, was one of the first few built on North Road. Up until a few years ago, we've had an abundant vegetable garden that has sustained four generations. In my 20s, I noticed odd things going on with my health and now in my late 40s, I've been diagnosed with various autoimmune diseases.
Knowing that we've had letters from council concerning toxic waste having been dumped here before soil was brought in from elsewhere, I am wondering if there are any people out there with a similar story of heath issues, and do you suspect there is a connection with the land? I've often thought of having the soil tested, some of you may have already done so. We often think our illnesses occur in isolation, but there could be more to it than that.
Please contact me on paulamail2013@gmail.com, if you would like to discuss it.
Warm wishes, Paula.

Kmart duvet recall
Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.
What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.
Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
