This year the Eurobodalla District Show will be on Friday the 20th and Saturday the 21st of January at the Moruya Show Ground.

For the first time SAGE is going to have a booth at the show. Our stall will be called “Love food, hate waste”. We have been able to borrow the display from Sustaining our Towns. We will have demonstrations of composting and worm farming, and we hope to be able to sell the cookbook if it is ready in time. We need volunteers to mind the stall during the show, so if you can help out please contact Caroline.

The dunes are about 10 metres further back, and the lagoon has changed shape slightly, the middens are more exposed and some of the old banksias on the foredunes are now stumps sticking out of the beach. Small changes compared to the impact of sea level rises and storm surges on man made infrastructure like drains and sea walls.
