The Generator's Front Yard Food project is up and running with the first garden going into Lennox Heads in August. Ina Gooley is now the proud owner of 12 square metres of vegetable seedlings on what was once her front lawn, protected from the summer sun and salt breezes by a screen of native food plants.

Volunteers came to help build the garden and local businesses donated generously to make the project possible. Mark Duncan of Lennox Sustainable Gardens designed and managed the project helped by Breens Gardens and Team Generator. Early Risers organic seedlings donated the seedlings, North Coast Landscapes donated the native food plants, Lennox Landscape Suppliers provided the soil, and Murwillumbah Worm Farms provided compost and food. Charlie Starrett provided the macadamia compost and construction materials.

Repco Rally    BIT LATE FOR 7.30 report/ but protest as shown below anyway

The anti-Repco Rally protesters of the north coast are looking for your support. This weekend the Repco Car Rally is going to pass through national parks and the internationally recognised biodiversity hotspot of the Green Cauldron in North Eastern NSW.  Noisy, polluting, environmentally damaging cars are going to tear along the roads of some of the most beautiful parts of this state, containing endangered and vulnerable species,  during breeding time for many animals. As well as the cars there will be spectators and their vehicles, helicopters, media and extra police in the area.
