Autumn Garden Showcase
April17, 2025 in Community

The weekend of April 12 1nd 13 saw hundreds of people visiting some of Oberon's wonderful gardens. And they didn't all come from around here - many visitors travelled a long way because they were aware of the town's reputation for having nice things to look at. And with perfect weather there was absolutely no disappointment.

April 3, 2025 in Opinion and Community

For the second time since the September, 2024, council elections, Oberon Council has lost one of the nine Councillors. This means another round of examining the September votes to find a replacement, with the additional cost and disruption to Council business that this entails. Here's hoping we've seen the last of this sort of thing.
