Rabbits on Island
I am increasingly concerned about rabbits on the island. It is not the
loved caged pets that are the (end) problem, it is the 3 separate
sightings, in a fortnight, of 3 different rabbits, similar to those
pictured, all hopping free.
Two sightings in the last 2 weeks were in my garden, up on Fire trail
and the 3rd, up from Bells.
Palm Beach also has a big problem with rabbits, I do not like to
imagine the outcome if those fluffy bunnies start to breed, and
unlike Palm Beach, we cannot blame anyone for the problem other than
ourselves.

Offshore Commuter options
What are they for Mackerel ?
A subscriber, not a resident is writing to find out more about living
offshore at Great Mackerel Beach in particular.
Basically someone might be able to shed some light on the commuting
part of living at Great Mackerel.
For example;
- How does the tie-up at the Mackerel Wharf work
? is the waiting list long etc ?
- Real estate agents say the parking on beach is
illegal however everyone does it - confusing ...
- Also returning to main land what are the tie-
up options - Palm Beach, Church Point or others ?
- What Wharfs & what car parks are available ?
- Can commuters go to Newport or Mona Vale .?
- And anything else that may sound useful to know.
If any anyone can help here please send a note to the
editor@scotlandisland.org.au and I'll pass on the contacts directly.
