Steele Creek and the Lady of the Lake

This new local history book by Christine Laskowski was launched last Friday at the Niddrie Library by MLA for Niddrie, Ben Carroll.

The book covers the early history of Niddrie, Airport West, Avondale Heights, East Keilor, West Essendon, Keilor Park and parts of Tullamarine.  Copies are $30 plus post and packaging.  See the index and details of how to get the book on this webpage.

One hundred shades hit the op shops

Volume three of the Fifty Shades trilogy is already in the opshops - not a keeper, apparently.  Available in grey only, at the Parish Bargain Centre in Racecourse Rd, Flemington.
