UPDATE:
Dale reports back,
My publisher, Horizon Publishing Group, has just completed the annual report for sales for my book, Yenohan’s Legacy. They tell me that the donation due to KHA (which was the ‘charity’ I nominated) will receive $382. I am chuffed about this. Just wish there had been more sales, and hence more donation to the wonderful KHA.
Thank you very much Dale!

NPWS Press Release 20/10/2021 regarding huts burnt down and damaged in the 2019-2020 summer bushfires- almost all to be rebuilt.
The Canberra Times reported that the ACT Government intends to replace both Demandering Hut and Max and Berts Hut; both of which were lost in the 2019-2020 bushfires. What The Canberra Times DID NOT report was that this replacement would only proceed if the results of the community survey were positive.
