Great Uncle Bill spill his b**r on your best rug? (Regularly 😫. And that on top of his appalling jokes…and the flatulence 😳)

You’re a gardener and sometimes forget to take off the gumboots when you head inside for a cuppa? (Guilty 😱)

Boyfriend’s dog plays in mud and then runs through the house looking for Master? (Yup! 🐾🐾🐾)

New York, Paris, Milan, Mallacoota! Fashion capitals of the world!

Well, Mallacoota will be if you can lift Dad’s fashion game this Father’s Day! Forget jocks, socks and chocs, how about getting him a MADTL polo shirt instead?

Perfect for dressing up stubbies, kilts, plus fours, gardening trakkie dacs, slacks and going out trakkie daks! You can even wear with jeans! A bargain @ $40!

If Dad has been especially good this year you could shout him the enhanced package of a shirt and a Tool Library membership for $100.

Spring is sprung…
The grass has riz….

Census night!

But disappointingly NO questions on tools! None at all! Despite DIY, garden maintenance and repairs consuming the majority of Australian weekends….

So we decided to help the ABS out by adding a couple of tool related questions 😀.

1. How do you obtain your tools? Pick one.

🔲 I spend a fortune at Total Tools, Bunnings and Tools’R’Us.

🔲 Borrow or scrounge ‘em.

🔲 I’m a Tool Library member and have unlimited access to a range of great tools for a mere $60 per annum.

2. When did you last donate your recyclable cans and bottles to support your local Tool Library? Pick one.

🔲 Donated all the cans and bottles from the M-I-L’s knees up last weekend.

🔲 Every week, its a small thing I can do to support a great local cause.

🔲 I didn’t know I could do that….*

The Mallacoota and District Tool Library is open for business from 9-11 am on Thursdays and from 10 am to 12 pm on Saturdays. You’ll find us in the dark grey shed at 96 Bastion Point Road.

*. You sure can. Just chuck ‘em in our purpose built receptacle at the Tool Library and we’ll do the rest 😀.

A local fairy tale..

In the deepest darkest crevices of Shady Gully lives a community of elves led by fairy Queen Patricia (aka Shady Pat). For years they’ve relied on magic potions and spells to get by. Indeed, Shady Pat has in her possession the most powerful of wands…

But - much to the dismay of his elders - youngest elf Kevin showed no interest in magic…no interest at all! He was more interested in things mechanical…safety goggles made of dragonfly wings, a drill powered by a woodpecker, clamps fashioned from discarded clothes pegs…

His family despaired…

“Where did we go wrong?” cried his mother “Perhaps we should have named him Puck or Blossom Bottom or some other more elvish name.“

The shame…

Until…

Last week a massive deer* rampaged through Shady Gully trampling elf homes and businesses… the destruction was great!

“Lo and behold” Shady Pat postured, waving her wand majestically “Order will be restored”.

Yeah, nah!

So young Kevin got to work with his tools and made good all the damage.

The End

Magic not doing it for you? Join the Mallacoota and District Tool Library! We’re open from 9-11 am on Thursdays and 10 am to 12 pm. Look for the wondrous grotto at 96 Bastion Point Road.
