As I write this weeks Weekend Wrap, it is a cold 13 degrees with the promise of more rain tonight. That is where the bad news ends because the Weather Bureau have said the rain should stop over night leaving us with a cloudy morning that will clear in the afternoon and a warm top of 23 degrees. Sunday is looking good with a max of 19.

This is good news for the return of the famous Channon Markets this Sunday.

It is the first time markets other than fruit and vegetable markets (deemed essential) can operate. This was the excited message on their facebook page "We are so excited to return this Sunday, Coronation Park is looking smick, the regen work at the creek is amazing, the trees are blooming beautiful and the birds are chirping. All it needs now is YOU!"
