Upgrading the antenna at our Naracoorte transmitter site
Restoring transmission and wiring at the Keith transmitter site
Our goal is to raise $20,000. While this amount won't fully cover all expenses associated with our transmitter projects, it will be a significant step toward preventing major breakdowns like those we've experienced in the last six months.

*businesses who donate $200 or more get themselves into the draw to have morning tea made by and with Tatiara District Council Mayor Liz Goossens (we also have an auction on our website that is live now)

Couple of Fun Facts!

Buying a home involves more than just the purchase price, it’s about your LVR. The Loan to Value Ratio is how banks assess their risk and determine your interest rate. If your LVR is over 80%, you might need to factor in Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Understanding this ratio early can help you plan your deposit strategy more effectively.

It might feel like just another chore, but staying on top of your due dates is actually one of the easiest ways to keep more money in your pocket. Here’s why your future self will thank you:

🚫 Zero late fees. Those $30–$50 penalties add up fast.

📉 Avoiding those compounding interest charges means you aren't paying extra for things you already bought.

Improve your credit score. Consistent payments are a major factor in your credit score. A better score can mean lower interest rates on future big wins like a car or a home. 🏠

🤸‍♀️ No "did I pay that?" anxiety. Just peace of mind and a clear headspace.

Remember, auto-pay is your best friend. Set it, forget it, and watch your savings grow instead of your debt.

How are you hitting your financial goals this month? 👇

Motherhood doesn't fit in a job description. It's a thousand invisible roles, filled every day, without fanfare.

Today we're taking a moment to name some of them and to say thank you to every woman who has shown up in this way, whether she carried you, chose you, or simply loved you like her own.

Happy Mother's Day! 💐
