Editors Noticeboard Dear Reader Welcome to our October issue! Well spring is well and truly here and I am making the most of the beautiful sunshine with my family.

Kids love to be active, so organise some simple outdoor activities, like going for a walk, a play in the park or a backyard sport. Its the perfect way to keep the kids happy and healthy the season ahead!

If you have a special occasion approaching, make sure you visit our Business of the Month, Sweet Bliss Cakes. The owner Marisa has over 30 years experience and specialises in all celebration cakes to suit your style and budget.

To find out more about this wonderful local business, turn to page 16.

To get into the Halloween spirit, we have a fun Halloween puzzle in our Kids Corner on page 28 and on page 20 we look at the reasons why ‘Aussies’ should embrace Halloween in Halloween Aussie Style. There is plenty to keep the family busy in our local community this month, check out our what’s on in Banyule & Nillumbik page. If you have a community event or activity coming up, email us the details and we will include it in our magazine. For more information turn to page 29.

Please remember to support our wonderful advertisers and shop locally, who make it possible for this magazine to be free for families in our local community.

We hope you enjoy this issue. Until next time...

Angela Erle, Editor
