👋 Hello Five Dock
Friday edition
16 Oct 2026
Friday fresh one
The weekend is almost here, and around town it has been some weird weather, I'm not sure Spring knows if it's coming or going at this point.
But with today's news, there's a bunch coming (hello free tennis lessons) - and the big news is Abbotsford wharf is going (for a while), and a lot of people are feeling it.
As always, I'm keen to hear from you directly - reply to this and I'll read your response.
