Shoalwater fans hail Herald

EACH month a friend visits me in Shoalwater and brings me the latest Toodyay Herald.

There is always something of interest for non-residents and I was amazed to learn that it is compiled by volunteers and is a not-for-profit community-run newspaper.

With local newspapers closing their doors or now publishing only online, Toodyay residents should be very happy that they have such a high-standard free paper providing local news.

I am not the only fan of the paper in Shoalwater as a neighbour is always keen to know if I have finished reading it.

It would be fantastic if retrenched or retired journalists in the Rockingham area could get together to produce a similar newspaper to The Toodyay Herald.
