COMMUNITY

Join the Hoofbeats stable team

Hoofbeats Sanctuary located at 77 Andersons Rd, Yandina, is seeking dedicated women to join their stable team. This collaborative team works tirelessly to support the physical and mental wellbeing of their herd of horses. Before the horses can support clients, they need to feel happy, loved and safe.

A long-term, weekly and reliable commitment is required. No previous horse experience is necessary. If you are looking for a unique and profoundly rewarding volunteer experience, contact: hoofbeats.org.au/volunteer.

Comparing fuel prices

Cost-of-living pressures mean that every dollar counts. In the hinterland, driving is a necessity of life and fuel costs have a noticeable impact on weekly household budgets. Free fuel comparison apps and websites help your dollar go further, especially when prices at service stations can vary as much as 20-30 cents per litre.

The website energyandclimate.qld.gov.au has a full list of available apps and websites. I have found Petrol Spy to be very reliable. It operates across Australia and NZ and displays prices on a map of your immediate area. You can select any location in Australia, which is useful if you are travelling. Visit: petrolspy.com.au.

RACQ's Fair Fuel Price Finder is also useful, which provides motorists in SE Qld with current prices as well as advice on when prices are likely to vary. Visit: racq.com.au.

Another is Vroom Fuel Price Compare which covers Qld, NSW and WA. Visit: vroomvroomvroom.com.au. Each of these sites has an app available from Google or the App Store.

On top of this are numerous reward schemes from retailers who provide a discount on the price of fuel. If you use a combination of a fuel price comparison app and a reward scheme, you can really save at the bowser. Rhonda Piggott
