My local Bright Spot...

Natalie from Johnsonville

My local Bright Spot is “Bonnies Berm”, the Roadside Garden, beside Burma Road leading to Johnsonville.
A few residents from Malvina Major Retirement Village, whose windows looked out on a weed and gorse infested bank, began to work hard to transform the weeds and rubble into a roadside garden with colourful flowers to change their outlook.

Now the motorists toot or wave their approval, pedestrians have more room to walk and can admire the flowers, and residents can look out at the changing seasonal flowers that appear.
A Bright Spot for all

Here's a riddle before your long weekend!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

In the southern sky, when winter is nigh,
A cluster of stars catches the eye.
A time for new beginnings, one we all celebrate,
What is this cluster, can you relate?
