Everyone around Long Flat knows Kath Carey, and that’s why she’s gone on working for so long.  Kath has worked in the post office for 70 years, and has decided it’s time to retire.

“I have always liked the job and loved the contact with the people.  But I won’t miss the early mornings,” says Kath, who gets up before 5am and runs the post office from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Born in Taree, she came to Long Flat aged 12 with her parents, who took over the store, which included the post office.  As a teenager, READ MORE…

Message:

Hi, I am updating the family tree of Newman Hollis 1816-1911, who lived in your area and still many relations still there. Sara Swanson from Wauchope did a tree in 1976. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in North Queensland but plan to come to Wauchope in May for research.

Cheers Liz

 

If you can help Liz out, please hit the contact page and I’ll forward the details to her.  Thanks.

LONG Flat community groups will be out in force for the Garage Sale Trail on Saturday, with the addition of two stalls put together by the Wauchope Hospital Volunteers group.

Eight other stalls are booked in for the sale, with funds raised to go to the Long Flat Community Centre’s activities.

The Wauchope Hospital is a district health facility, volunteers group president Roger Adams said, so it likes to include the Upper Hastings villages in its activities.

Ellenborough Spring Ball 2014

23 October, 2014 by Long Flat Admin

Ellenborough Spring Ball

The second annual black tie Ellenborough Spring Ball was held on Saturday, October 18 at the Ellenborough hall.

The idea for the ball was conceived by Long Flat P&C members Leanne Coombes and Vanessa Crowley with the view to hosting an old-time event ‘like we had back in the day’, complete with dances such as Pride of Erin, Gypsy Tap and barn dances as well as some modern music to accommodate all ages.

The event has proved to be very popular with all funds raised from ticket sales going back to the Long Flat Public School P&C.

The crowd was entertained this year by local band “Gotcha Covered”.

The event drew a crowd of locals as well as visitors from Wauchope, Wingham, Comboyne, Byabarra and Beechwood who came to dance the night away.

The best dressed male was awarded to Dean Broderick with the best dressed female award going to Larissa Hardcastle.

Cuppa TeaJUNE Rollan is planning to have a cuppa at the Long Flat Hotel on May 19 and wouldn’t mind a hundred or more people joining her.

2011’s Port Macquarie-Hastings Citizen of the Year is organising another fundraiser for a worthy cause, just as she has done for the past 30 years.

This year, June is hoping her Morning Tea at Long Flat will add to a community fundraising appeal for the Palliative Care Unit at Wauchope District Memorial Hospital.
