I'd like to congratulate Tom Christie and Dominique Northan, owners of the Flower Shop at Dungog, who sold bunches of daffodils for Daffodil Day and donated $6 from every bunch sold to the Cancer Council. What a fantastic effort from Tom and Dominique!

Another small business in nearby Clarence Town is the iconic Shaw's Williams River Bakery that Jane and Danny Shaw have run for 20 years. Congratulations on 20 years in business! They have sponsored so many sporting groups and community groups in the area. They're an integral part of the community—congratulations.

Also the people of Bobin have just celebrated 100 years of running the Bobin School of Arts. The hall for the school of arts was the nerve centre during the Black Summer bushfires. It was a place of refuge, communication, food, support, washing and cooking. It really kept families going. Deanna Oxley spearheaded the Bobin Sew and Sews textile art project, and now there's an amazing large piece of textile mapping out Bobin at the rear of the hall. Also, Audrey Crowfoot crocheted a tapestry in the Bobin School of Arts logo format. It's terrific to hear of this milestone celebration.
