Happy Derby Day to those who celebrate! Am I predicting a crazy Eagles upset? Just get the final loss the purple men had to have out of the way now on their way to premiership glory? Surely not…that would be crazy…right?
What I am fully predicting is the traffic to once again be heccas around the area this arvo, so try take it easy, and we’ll see you Monday — win, lose or draw!

HOMES
Retreat to this sweet Roleystone tree house
Yearning to escape the inner-city hustle and bustle? Finding any excuse to touch grass? Yeah, us too – so it should come as no surprise this Roleystone residence is really piquing our interest!
The cottage is located at 7 Mackie Road – its charming weatherboard figure peeking out amongst the Hills’ leafy, winding streets.
Tucked under the curved corrugated roof, the front porch looks out to grass trees and boulders – a sweet spot for a cuppa, where you can also appreciate the stained glass windows that frame the entry.
Inside, the rustic cosiness continues with elements of exposed brick (including around the fireplace), paired with timber beams, polished floorboards and beadboard panelling.
