BRISBANE retailers are running low on gumboots ahead of the three-day Splendour in the Grass festival, which starts near Byron Bay today.

THE BANGALOW Weir is looking for more rocks for its upcoming restoration works.
If you have unwanted rocks stockpiled on your property that you would like to donate to the project, give Byron Shire Council a phone call on 6626 7158.
