It’s Gotta Be Mudgee!
We know how awesome Mudgee is, and food and wine lovers of Sydney will this week be privy to just how great our region is when the Mudgee region is put on show at the Pyrmont Festival of Wine, Food and Art between today and the 27th of May 2012. This Sunday’s free outdoor Wine and Food fair is set to be a hit with locals, being held at Pirrama Park, with wine tasting, fine food and produce stands and plenty to tantalise just about any palette, and of course Mudgee will be at the centre of it all! Other events taking place as part of the...
read moreNot Paying Your Rent Has Consequences…
Because we work in the real estate industry, it’s much easier for us to understand the implications of things like late rental payments on landlords. So if you’re a tenant, this might be a good read for you because it will help you understand what happens when you’re late paying your rent. Property investors provide a means of housing for people who prefer to rent or can’t afford to buy, but that doesn’t mean they’re loaded with cash. For many mum and dad investors, they’re just as cautious about family budgeting as anyone else...
read moreAre You For or Against Boxing Day Trading in Regional NSW?
We’d love to know whether the people of Mudgee are for or against the NSW Government’s plans to lift restrictions on Boxing Day trading in regional areas of the state because from what we’ve heard, retailers in other regional areas aren’t massive fans of the idea. The plan would be that Boxing Day would remain a public holiday and workers would be paid public holiday rates in accordance with their employment, but the question is whether there is a demand for it in regional NSW areas such as Mudgee, and whether it is going to be...

Sport is definitely great for the body and keeps the heart pumping, but it’s also great for the mind and soul. Mudgee students were visited by touch football players from the Australian Trans- Tasman Test Series team (read article from Mudgee Guardian here), which got us thinking about how we can encourage people of Mudgee to get involved in local sporting teams. We would really love to help promote local clubs and organisations that provide sporting facilities and competitions to Mudgee locals so we’ve put a list together below, but...
read moreWhat Makes A Home Family Friendly?
We quite often hear buyers refer to their dream home as being family friendly, so we thought today we’d clarify just what that means in terms of property searching, because for the most part, property searches are filtered by number of bedrooms, car accommodation, land size and other specific items. A family friendly home is one that is suitable for one or many children to grow up in, from infancy to teenage-hood. Here are the things that we believe make a home family friendly: Proximity to desirable schools, amenities, shops and parks. If...

We’re coming a strong 8th out of 52 teams taking part in the Mudgee Relay For Life on May 12th 2012, but we’re not quite at our fundraising target yet, so we’re asking for support by the way of sharing this with your family and friends or kindly donating as much or as little as you can to our team’s fundraising efforts. We have been very humbled by the kind contributions that not only have our local counterparts donated, but also our wider networks across much of the country. It means a lot to have the support of our networks of...

read moreNSW State-wide Smoking Ban
Even though we’ve been used to non-smoking laws indoors throughout Australia for some time now, NSW still doesn’t have a uniform law governing outdoor smoking, and as such the NSW State Government has just announced new smoking laws that will restrict where people can smoke outdoors throughout the whole of NSW, not just in some council areas where local governments have imposed smoking bans. The state-wide law will see smoking banned at all of NSW’s sports grounds and children’s playgrounds, as well as bus stops, taxi ranks and...
read moreWhat’s Showtime All About?
Deciding to put your house on the market can be an emotional decision, physically signing the contract to sell your house can be even more emotional, especially if the process has taken longer than you’d expected.
