Thank you 
Main Beach Travel and FlyCruise for supporting our efforts in evolving this newsletter into something very special, that captures and projects our unique brand of Villager Vibe. 
Main Beach Travel is located on the corner of Tedder & Hughes Avenue. 
 
 
It’s the Villagers who build the Village
Celebrating all the good stuff makes for a pretty special environment.
Main Beach's successes coninue to build through it's disconnection from the sport of public social critiquing and a greater focus on all the good stuff and the momentum it creates from the grass roots up. That's pretty basic and simplistic thinking, but it works.
A Community is people in proximatey.  A Village is more defined by a villager culture of 'we' galvanised around their shared vision, purpose and direction. It's a perception that finds it's own reality.  Destination Main Beach just helps our Villagers to achieve this.
 
 
2019 Best Villagers 
 
 
Villagers with the Vibe 
A little over 2 years ago, Kellie and Jenna took their vision head on and put all their skills and passion on the line and opened their cafe called called "Hot Shott."
 
They transcended the norm and created a new vibe on Tedder - a vibe that beat expectations and hauling in awards and accolades from afar.
 
Kelly and Jenna have not only redefined the corner of Tedder and Woodroffe Avenues, they have played a significant role in redefining our Village experience. 
 
Congratulations Kellie and Jenna you have created something special, and a special thank you to Kellie's Mum and Dad (Ron and Helen) you have made such a difference  - sorry there is no flash award to go with this - just a bunch of words :) 
 
 
Hot Shott has set in motion a villager vibe that is flourishing throughout all the lands of Main Beach, with Blacksmith, then Flowers on Tedder - the accolades don't stop there ...read more

Why is mould growing in my home?
There is no set season of the year where mould will grow, and it is an issue that can occur all year round. Mould will begin to form and grow on surfaces in your home when there is a combination of moisture and poor ventilation. If mould is left untreated in these conditions, it will typically begin to spread, becoming detrimental to your health and comfort of living...quick online quote
