School Holidays are upon us already. Is it just me or does it feel like a short term, COVID and home schooling make it feel that way at least!

The Premier of NSW Gladys Berejiklian must be a parent because the easing of restrictions this week meant all the local entertainment options are now open for the holidays.

Craig and the family at Rollerworld in North Lismore have been working overtime to open their doors the holidays, check their session times here Lismore Rollerworld.

Great news for movie lovers with the Lismore Cinema re-opening yesterday with COVID safe rules in place like social distancing, seat separation and increased hygiene.

Lismore Tenpin Bowl in South Lismore are back bowling too.

If outdoor activities are more your thing, more good news this week with the Rous County Council opening Rocky Creek Dam. The council do say that amenities and BBQ's are cleaned daily while hard surfaces are not. Water bubblers will not be in operation but you will be able to re-fill water bottles from the tap.

This adds another bush walk to the range with Minyon Falls, Protestor Falls and the Big Scrub walks all open for the school holidays.

The weather for the first weekend of holidays is looking pretty perfect with plenty of blue sky and maximums of 19 and 18. There is the chance of some showers from Tuesday next week.

If you are hitting the road and travelling petrol prices remain stable with 112.9 the cheapest for unleaded E10 at United on Ballina Road (fast getting a reputation for always being the cheapest) while for those with diesel 117.9 at United and Liberty on Ballina Road are you best options.

As always, here are some funnies to kickstart your weekend. Enjoy.
