Gone Fishing Gallery GFG Logo
Art Auction and Charity night
for Qld Flood victims


The devastating Queensland floods have taken lives, homes and businesses and will require years of re-building. But re-build we will because we’re Australians, and that’s what we do.

As part of the support coming from all over Australia, the Gone Fishing Gallery is holding an Art Auction to raise funds for the flood victims.

On Friday 28th January 7pm join us at Gone Fishing Gallery (in the old Pasadena on Pittwater at Church Point) for an evening of art, music, champagne, and FUN.

An on-site auctioneer will take bids for artworks donated by the Gone Fishing Gallery artists.
As well, each glass of refreshment purchased will put you in the running to win an evening for 2 at a mystery destination.

So, in this time of crisis, come along and show your support to those in need, while also having a night to remember!

WHAT        ART AUCTION to raise money for Queensland Flood Victims
WHERE     GONE FISHING GALLERY, 1858 Pittwater Road, Church Point (in the old Pasadena on Pittwater building)
WHEN        7PM Friday night, 28 January 2011.

SIRA logo competition deadline extended until 24 January

Snake Service

Last Sunday, we had cause to ring NSW Parks and Wildlife Service, to enquire as to the removal of a seven foot Diamond Python Snake, on our property.

We were given to name and number of Allen, who just happened to be lunching with his wife at Church Point, and several hours later he came over and bagged and removed the Snake for relocation.
 
This fellow knew of the dumping of many reptiles on the Island, as he had previously removed a large Carpet Snake for relocation. Anyone who requires this Free service contact Allen at 0415604013.
Many thanks to Allen.
