The tragedy our community has been feeling with sudden road deaths over the past few weeks is devastating. Our team sends condolences to the family and friends of those who’ve lost their lives recently, including the two men who were killed while walking home in Tura Beach on Sunday night after watching the NRL grand final.

This Saturday October 10 is World Mental Health Day. I urge you to check in on your neighbours, friends and colleagues, and encourage open discussions about mental health and the support available.

Also in our newsletter this week – the trail of damage in Ulladulla after last weekend’s wild weather tore through the town and we’re told we could be paying more for snapper and kingfish with new proposed catch limits.

And if you have a story for the ABC South East team, let us know! Please drop an email to southeastnsw@your.abc.net.au
