You can also read plenty of community stories including the whisky guru who will be delivering a masterclass at The Drink Show at The Pavilion, a fly hunter in Jamberoo and a casting workshop in Gerringong with a difference.

In sport, you can read about Kiama rocketing into the top four of the South Coast cricket competition, the Jamberoo Sevens this weekend and Ali Day signing off from his glittering career in style.

The 35-year-old former Kiama nipper claimed his sixth Shaw and Partners Iron Series title over the weekend, completing a fairytale career that could hardly have been scripted better.

Last year, Day announced he would retire from professional competition at the end of the 2025/26 season, before going on to claim his record-breaking 11th Coolangatta Gold crown.

Day’s six Shaw and Partners Iron Series titles add to an extraordinary list of achievements, including an unmatched 11 Coolangatta Gold victories, four Australian Ironman Championships, a World Ironman title, four Queensland Open Ironman titles, Australian and state representative honours, and induction into the Surf Life Saving Australia Hall of Fame.
