Lately, when shopping at Bunnings, I have been reminded of the old-time hardware stores we used to have. While it is helpful in this day and age that red-coated helpers can locate exactly what you are looking for just by looking at their phones, it just isn’t the same as talking to “an old-fashioned hardware man”.
I remember going into the old-time store and asking for "a 2-inch bolt with nut” then following the gent to the bolt section, where he would select exactly what I needed and sell me just that one bolt. He would always ask, “What are you using it for?” in case there was a better option I hadn’t considered.
We would then head back to the counter, he’d place it in a brown paper bag (fully recyclable) and charge me 16c or some other minuscule amount.
Hardware men were born somewhere in a back area of the storage where the fencing materials were – and they remained in the business for the rest of their lives. When you walked in the front door, they greeted you as someone who was valued to them. After all, they probably knew your eldest son from the football field after school.
Well, those days are still available to us. Just take a short drive to Pomona, our Hinterland town and drop into the local hardware store. You won’t find many packets of screws with an uneven number hot-sealed in plastic only a pair of tin snips can open … and find you have to buy 2 packets to make pairs and then have 4 left over. Just ask the “hardware man” for what you need.
As you leave the store with your brown bag clutched firmly in your hand, you’ll have a feeling of satisfaction and know the pleasure of a visit to old-time hardware store. ...

A new boutique nutrition service has opened its doors at The Pavilion Eumundi, at 79 Memorial Dr, offering women in the local community a welcoming space to focus on their health, energy and wellbeing.
Nourish Perspective – founded by nutritionist Natasha Wenke – has been created specifically for women over 40yrs who want to feel more energised, strong and confident in their everyday lives.
“As we move through our 40s and beyond, I believe it’s not simply about adding years to our lives, but adding life to those years,” said Natasha. “For me, that means focusing on health span – supporting the years we live with vitality, strength, energy and quality of life.”
With so much conflicting nutrition information available, knowing what to eat can feel overwhelming. Others may simply be tired of restrictive diets and approaches that are difficult to maintain.
Natasha’s approach is centred on simple, sustainable foundations of nutrition and lifestyle, rather than quick fixes or restrictive rules. Her focus is on helping women understand how everyday food choices and lifestyle habits can support their long-term wellbeing.
