Back today after a break and with Mareeba Markets on this coming Saturday check all the different pages as I feel it will be too wet for the markets to happen. Still there is another this month on the 31st, may be fine by then.
Winner of our Money Board was Lorraine who very kindly donated it back to us. Thank you so much Lorraine, much appreciated. We will be running another before Easter so be prepared.
We are a self-funded, not for profit organisation that relies on selling our 2nd handbooks and donations to pay our phone and electricity bills. So buy up big at the Book Cave at the markets and help keep us afloat.
Will be in touch soon,
Helen

Coming up to Mareeba Markets this coming Saturday 11th October. Lots of interesting stalls to check out. Our usual, Clem with his 2nd hand goodies, Julia from the Animal refuge and I think she may be bringing along a Shetland pony for patting only along with a goat or two. Fi ready to give you a great haircut, Dot check out her soft wares. Sal and his tasty Southern Indian dishes, frozen to take home for a wonderful dinner. A new lady and maybe a one time only for she is selling nick-nacks from a deceased estate.
Mustn't forget Josh and his leather work. I just love going into his gazebo and smelling all his leather work.
Not forgetting all our books selling very cheap, so start stocking up for the WET. Open 7Am till 12. All the other stalls stay open till 12.30 but I need to run away early.

Ross is with the Mareeba Historical Society's part of the park.
Have a chat with him about your needs.
Again, take care, be safe.
