For once Murdoch's minions of doom give us a good news story - both car and dog recovered!

News Ltd Breaking News 18^th June 2012:

“A SAUSAGE dog stolen along with his owners' car has been found laying on the dashboard of the recovered vehicle.

The dachshund named Tau was inside a sedan stolen from the scene of a Mermaid Waters car crash on Saturday.

His owners had pulled over to help two women hurt in the smash, only to have their car - with their beloved pet inside - stolen.

Police say Tau was lying on the dashboard of the stolen vehicle when officers found it in a Tweed Heads car park about 9.30pm (AEST) last night.

He has been reunited with his grateful owners.”

Yamba, as seen by a visitor

Sherilyn and her family, who visited Yamba recently, obviously had a helluva good time there.
I've taken the liberty of extracting a few bits from her blog piece On Hiatus in Yamba. Honestly, the local chamber of commerce couldn't have produced something as positive as this, even if it paid squillions for it.
