My life changed forever 2½years ago when I became a parent for the first time. No amount of talking to family or friends or reading countless books on parenting prepared me for the experience of childbirth and then the day to day events of raising a child. I fortunately was one of the lucky ones who felt an instant bond, love so great I sometimes feel I am going to burst.

I note Mr Bob Neil’s concern about Dayboro’s streetscape (letters, December 2007).  My concern is that land owners are being forced to conform to any architectural standard of building design at all.  The old buildings in Dayboro are such as they are precisely because when they were (jerry) built, there was no architectural regulator commanding what land holders did, thank God.  Now we have absurd regulatory controls about building design that really belong in fascist and communist countries where freedom of expression is uniformly denied to all.

World’s Greatest Shave

13-15 March 2008

With just over two months until the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave, Queenslanders need to ask themselves the question. Are you brave enough to shave – well are you?

If you’ve always been meaning to join in the fun, but just never took the big step, why not register to be part of the special 10 year celebration of WGS and help those living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders.
