Battle for the Banded Rail
Battle for the Banded Rail has a planting day this Sunday 9am - 1pm on Rabbit Island’s South coast.
Please park at 98 Ken Beck drive, on the right, just over the Rough Island to Rabbit Island bridge, then follow the orange cones around the coast. Please note, the venue for this planting has changed – was previously advertised as Hunter Brown Reserve.
Bring gardening gloves, sturdy shoes/boots, a narrow-bladed spade if you have one, and drinking water. Morning tea will be provided. All volunteers are welcome and there are jobs other than digging.
We’ll go ahead unless it’s raining hard or stormy. If you don’t get an email by 8:00 on Sunday morning, we’re already there setting up 😊.
The following planting day is Sunday 22nd of August at Reservoir Creek, through the underpass from the Richmond Aquatic Centre.

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.
