Aussie ABC children's reading book

A beautifully illustrated child's alphabet book of iconic Australian images has grown from its author's cancer battle.

Aussie ABC is illustrated with images from a quilt that retired Pambula woman, Barbara Evans created for therapy while recovering from radiation treatment.

Barbara Evans was diagnosed with cancer in 2003. As recovery therapy after surgery and 12 months chemotherapy, she made a quilt for her great-nephew in America, to teach him about Australia.

"I'm interested in the theory that children whose parents read to them from an early age become high achievers later on in life", said Barbara. "The quilt was designed to be read to or with young children".

"However it is more than the basic bat, cat, rat ABC. It's elementary, of course, but it includes art, English, history, geography, maths - an hopefully some humour and stimilation for a child's imagination".

The quilt took 12 months to make. Barbara's husband Ken was so impressed with the results he though the creativity should be captured. He asked local printer Carbon Copy, of Pambula, to produce a poster, which led to the book.

Aussie Auction Sites

Auctions: A Closer Look

You’ve read about them, you’ve heard about them, you’ve probably participated in one. But what exactly are auctions? Isn’t it just the simple method of selling an object to interested people who bid until the highest bidder gets it?

That is definitely the scenario in most auctions. But auctions are actually more complex than people realize. Do you know that not all auctions have ascending price schemes? While the ascending bid is the most popular auction format, other formats exist such as the descending, simultaneous and handshake forms of bidding - read more...

Mortgage Terms Simplified

Mortgage Terminology Explained

When you first apply for a mortgage, you may feel you’ve stepped into a different culture with a language all its own. More than likely, your mortgage professional is throwing many new terms and expressions your way. It’s the responsibility of that same mortgage professional to make sure you understand everything that’s being explained to you, so you should never hesitate to ask them to stop and clarify. However, if you can approach your application meeting armed with some familiarity with mortgage terms, everyone can be more comfortable from the very beginning. Familiarize yourself with the following and you’ll be a step ahead of the average first-time borrower - read more...

Tribal Community to Historical Village

Previously known as "Panboola" or "Punbula" by the local Indigenous tribe, meaning Twin Waters, the spelling has now transpired to "Pambula".

European settlement first came to Pambula in the late 1830's when the area was used for grazing by the Imlay Brothers. However, the Aboriginal tribe, the Yuin, were well established in the area for thousands of years. They left evidence of their activities in the many oyster middens situated along the Pambula River.

Today, Pambula is a coastal village clinging strongly to its history, with peaceful lakes and idyllic river mouth, it is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of city life.

An absolutely ideal location for family holidays, with estuaries, beaches, lush green pastures and lake in close proximity. Strolling the meandering tracks through the beautiful wetlands is just one way to enjoy Pambula's irresistable charm.

Pambula Beach has a modern (Big 4) caravan park with absolute water frontage. The beach is patrolled in summer, and is a favourite swimming location for a large number of tourists each year.
