📖 Staff Pick Sunday 📖

🧶We'll Prescribe You a Cat | Syou Ishida 🐈

“Whether it's a day or a year, human or cat, and even if we may never see them again, there are those who are irreplaceable in our lives.” ☺️

Stephanie says: "It's a heartwarming read that gently opens something within you – I love how each cat carried its own spirit and played a unique role in reshaping lives. It lingers softly and brings healing to the heart." 💕

Is this a familiar sight for commuters and travellers alike? 🚆

Behold Sutherland train station back in the 1970s/80s to now where the art deco style of the station platform building dates back to when the Sutherland to Cronulla line was opened in 1939. 🛤️

For many years a familiar sight for passengers waiting at the station, or exiting to the shopping area, was Stapleton’s Meats which traded until 2017 although the family had sold the business ten years earlier in 2007. The shop can be seen near the pedestrian lights next to another long-time business Foran’s Chemist.
