Image Thrash n Treasure

Are you looking for a market that is full of curios, musical gold and a great mix of cars, motor bikes, surf, skate gear?

This Sunday 30 September there’s a Thrash ’n’ Treasure market at Habitat in Byron and all the registration money will be donated to the Disabled Surfers Association, who’ll receive over $500 from the day.

‘I’ve always loved shopping when there’s a real element of surprise,’ says Dave Fraser, founder of Mr Simple markets.

‘That’s where the original idea for this came from. That and the fact that my garage is overflowing with stuff I need to get rid of!’

The market will run from 9am till 3pm at 248 Bayshore Drive, Byron.

Nuclear Submarines – just a foot in the door

Richard Staples - 11
In the next few months we will hear a lot about how superior nuclear-powered submarines are. Vice Admiral Mike Noonan is even claiming superior stealth characteristics – which is simply not true. Yes, they tend to be faster. This is great if you want to go thousands of kilometres in a matter of days. But they are also much more expensive.
