Catastrophic Closure

As I write this, I am happy to report that the Mt Lofty Ranges survived its first ‘catastrophic’-rated day with only a couple of serious fires breaking out that were admirably contained by CFS crews.

Got a soft spot for the ladies?

Not our usual style but we have recently been inundated with Maeve Binchy, Joanna Trollope, Rosamund Pilcher and Mary Higgins Clark - yes the female authors are out in force! Having said that, I don’t think there are too many Jonathan Kellermans that we don’t have either! Come in and grab a bargain - if [...]

Fire Danger Season

As the Fire Danger Season approaches (start date Dec 1), we want to make sure all our customers watch for the new fire danger ratings as applied to the Mt Lofty Ranges. Although we won’t see weather in the ‘Extreme’ or ‘Catastrophic’ range until later in the season, now is a good time to get [...]
