Today, in the morning, an accident happened near the hwy that cased traffic to be backed up and on a slow crawl along the motorway and on Giinagay Way that impacted our town. From as far as Valla on Giinagay Way, traffic was bumper to bumper, and even way further down south on the motorway, this delay was for almost 10 hours.
Santa brought his cheer and gifts for all today in Urunga’s Trike N Truck Run which all went well on such a perfect sunny , and hot, day for it.
Here’s a few photos from today at each stop. The Raffle was drawn by Santa & Mrs Claus at the lido and lucky winners will be notified.

I visited Maureen n Rob yesterday arvo for a Christmas catchup over a sip of Maureen’s infamous Baileys cream, Yum! They are both ready for Santa to arrive on his Trike along with the Firies and Mrs Claus n friends this coming Saturday.
Their place is a must go, to gather and celebrate the Santa Run if you live in Bellinger Keys, they also have several nights where families gather to sing Carols, Caroloke they call it. They open their front yard on these occasions to bring a real sense of community Christmas spirit to our lil town.
See You all on Sat, the run starts at 11am, and the last stop is Urunga Lido approx at midday where we have free sausage sandwich and milk, water or juice for all, goodie bag from Santa for the young ones, along with Free face decal painting and bubble display by Megan n John from Riverside Markets. So come on down this Saturday. Bellinger Keys has some amazing lights on houses this year so add a drive around to see the wonderful light displays.
