Hi
Does anyone have an extendable clothes line they want to sell? Looking for one 10 metres long with either 4 or 5 lines. Wouldn't matter if the line itself is past its use by as that's easily replaced but the mechanism needs to be strong enough to hold the length.

Knowing the right immediate action to take can save lives and prevent injury. If you are near the coast and feel a strong earthquake that makes it hard to stand up, or a rolling earthquake that lasts longer than a minute, move immediately to high ground, or as far inland as possible.
The earthquake is your first warning, tsunami waves can arrive within minutes. Do not wait for official advice or warning systems.

Please place only NEW gifts under the trees. We only hand out new toys to the children.
If you do have secondhand children's toys you wish to donate to charity please take them to the local op shops.
It takes a lot of time for our volunteers to sort through all the packages we receive and it's sad when we have to
dispose of these toys from you.
Don't forget the older kids. We get so many gifts for the little ones and they often have older brothers and sisters. So help us provide for them all. Thank you.
