This is a message to all responsible owners of young puppies and dogs that frequent the off-leash area at Belongil Beach. For the protection of yourself and your pet dogs please think twice before running the gauntlet at the Main Beach carpark access point.

Try Suffolk instead or consider using a different access point farther up Belongil.

Youth crime is increasing – what to do?

There is something strange going on with youth crime in rural and regional Australia. Normally, I treat hysterical rising delinquency claims with a pinch of salt – explicable by an increase in police numbers, or a headline-chasing tabloid, or a right-wing politician.
