BENEDICT HOUSE NEWSLETTER

Morning All,

Back to normal after the big trip to Moree and family reunion.

Come in and meet my brother Matthew and his son Connor. Matthew has live in US for 20 years - working in hospitality - so he is staying for a while and will be helping us manage the cafe and the fresh produce. It is wonderful to have family around, even if they don't sound Australian!

Whew - what about the rain. The Molongolo is running today.

MARKETS
Queanbeyan markets starting again 22 October, on Friday evenings from 5pm-8pm opposite the council.
