Home Buying

Home Alone: The Australian Musical Parody is a bold, cheeky, and completely original Aussie take on the classic film. Packed with hilarious moments, over-the-top characters, and brand new original songs, it delivers chaos, charm, and plenty of “did they really just say that?” surprises. It’s clever, energetic, and fun for the whole family — even Dad. A big, joyful Christmas comedy that turns a beloved favourite into a fresh theatre hit.

Hello Minimalists! We are back to our regularly scheduled monthly meetups! If you have stuff to declutter, bring it around and see if anyone could give it a new home. Anything left over we can donate it at the op-shop after we are done at the cafe. Looking forward to chatting about what's been going well in our minimalist journeys and share tips and tricks! P.S. We always appreciate a gold coin donation to help with the cost of the meetup fees (until we figure out a low cost-alternative to Meetup).
