For this June edition, we welcome some wonderful new contributors. While the population of Kangaroo Valley may be small in number, the diversity of people and interests provides a broad palette from which to draw when it comes to the content of this community publication.
As always, we welcome submissions from all pockets of the Valley and indeed perhaps from visitors sharing their experience of our much-loved town. And it needn’t be publication perfect – our new copy editor has a wealth of experience in publishing and is delighted to cross the i’s and dot the t’s. Please send in your articles in a Word file and we’ll tidy them up, if necessary, for publication.
We hope you enjoy this edition’s features along with our new and regular articles.
