August 15th, 2025Your say…

I am a recent tree-changer from Melbourne and just wanted to say how much I enjoy having a paper to read.
Where I lived in Melbourne, most local newspapers ended around the start of Covid – or went online but that is not the same.
I like reading about other locals, as I hope to be one day, all the festivals happening and just finding my way around the region with interesting stories.
I pick up my copy of The Local from Cellarbrations. They are such a friendly crew and I like to support those businesses who support you. I guess your only revenue comes from advertisers.
That’s why I also tried the bowls club, La Luna and wander around the Mill Markets and the community op shop. Well, not the only reason but The Local did point me in the right direction.
Keep up the great work.
