CHRISTMAS LETTERS
The first letters to Santa are in this week's Bulletin. Letters need to be in by December 12.
With Christmas nearing, it is time for Collie kids to turn their attention to the festive season’s most important of tasks.
That is, making sure Santa knows exactly what to get them.
This year, the Bulletin has been fortunate enough to establish a direct line to Santa, and will be collecting letters to forward to him.
Children can simply mail their letters at the Bulletin office in Collie Park Shopping Centre (the same building as Australia Post).
They should be sure to include their full name, and may even find their letter published in the Bulletin in the lead up to Christmas.
Santa has promised that every child who writes to him via the Bulletin will receive a reply, and three lucky children will even receive something a little extra.

COLLIE CAMPING

No camping signage has been erected at Hamilton in the Wellington National Park.
