After a round of the various Stuarts Point residences was depleted of sweet treats (and a few choice tricks), parents and kids pushed on to visit the picturesque riverside location of Fishermans Reach. Homes creepily adorned with scary installations were balanced by friendly socialising, and luckily the threatened stormy weather did not eventuate until the early hours of Friday morning. “Halloween here was awesome,” said local resident Trevor Nilsen. “We don’t have grand kiddos here to participate but the kids in our town were amazing. “[They were] having fun and [were] so polite, you’ve got to give them and their parents full credit.” As 2024 rapidly heads toward the school break and the festive season, the next local community event will be ‘Santa in the Park’ on Sunday morning, 15 December in Stuarts Point. The event is hosted by the Stuarts Point and District Community Organisation and supported by generous donations of time and goods from local businesses and individuals. By Jen HETHERINGTON
