JOANNE: This year we are so happy to be staying close
to home and taking in a luxury escape with my WA family
at Lake Tinaroo. Chances are the days will be filled with
some serious Masterchef battles, wakeboarding wars
(#prayingforrain), water fights, lychee martinis, Mt Uncle
visits, a few games of charades and no doubt a good dose
of overindulgence. Im looking forward to sharing the
countryside magic of the tablelands with my loved ones!
2.What are your local tips for the best Christmas presents
on offer around town?
AMANDA: I like to shop local and try and find fun, unique
and interesting gifts for my friends and family. I can’t go
past the ladies from Makin’ Whoopee Gift Shop on Shields
Street. And my other favourite go to is The Green House
Shop on Spence Street. I always find everyone on my
Christmas list a gift that they LOVE…. And I know that I am
supporting my local community. Winning!
BELINDA: My biggest tip is “BUY LOCAL”. We have so
many fantastic local gifts and gift shops. I often send local
food products as gifts, including local hampers from Simply
Hampers, and there’s so many gorgeous gifts in Eggplant

send vouchers. There’s Kickarts Ga
