Showers over Easter but thankfully no big rain dumps to spoil the Northern Rivers long weekend


Well La Niña may be over this time around and the Clarence River and tributaries may have fallen to pre-flood levels, but the rain has not quite gone away.


The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting the likelihood of showers every day for Grafton and Yamba up to at least 6 April 2021.


This applies to the Northern Rivers generally - so a slightly damp Easter long weekend is on the cards.


Currently the waves along the Clarence Coast are running at 1- 2ft+ off a SSE  breeze, but are expected to pick up for the long weekend. So hopefully the surfers will enjoy their Easter break.

Harold gets hot and cross over supermarket greed



From The Daily Examiner letters to the editor column on 18 January 2011:

Hot-cross greed

NOT only do Coles and Woolworths want to dictate from whom we buy our everyday needs - milk, petrol, meat, bakery, pharmacy, fruit and vegetables, etc., they now also want to take over the special calendar events of the year such as Easter by offering hot cross buns in January.
A treat that was always reserved for the celebration of Easter.
The only way to get the message across to these greedy corporations is through people power and by refusing to buy these items until the appropriate event is here.
