Bouquet to the East Coast Low for not doing too much damage to the Manly Ocean beach apart from removing a bit of sand.

Brickbat to Council for Manly Rise. What was that again? Vivid lite? The Town Hall looked cool, but there is only so long you can stare at the lights changing colour on the front of a building!

Bouquet to the fabulous businesses who hosted some activities over the last two weeks. Vini’s cafe on the corner of Victoria Pde and Darley Rd looked fun and inviting with the deer all lit up on the corner.

Bouquet to National Parks and Wildlife Service for the successful fox-baiting and trapping program for removing a fox last month from North Head. Residents can report any fox sightings to Council, National Parks & Wildlife or Taronga zoo.

Bouquet to Sydney Water for their work clearing the silt from the sewage tunnel at North Head. Special mention to the guys going 80m down the manhole opposite the Former Manly Hospital to the sewer tunnel on Darley Rd

Brickbat to Australia Post Office for removing the red post box on Addison Rd and replacing it with an orange cone.
