"We had a great time last night at Off The Rails Cafe sth Johnstone. Having just heard of your website, I really hope these events are well listed in future. Especially the happenings of the Mena Creek Folkies... or any such musical events... We are relatively new to the area... only a few years. It's sometimes hard to know what is happening around. Your site is great and I am glad we found it. Thanking you."

News
The
News page is a fairly recent addition and still under development. It was originally intended to be a space to discuss events that had been listed on Cassowary Connect, for example the
Open Air Movie Night put on by Hazel Holland and the CWA on
29/11/2008. However it can be used for a variety of uses, for exmple, it was used for the first time in 2008 to vote for the
Best Christmas Lights.
Improvements
CassowaryConnect.com is custom made and therefore it can be, and has been, improved or changed based on user comments and suggestions. The site looks quite different now from what it did on
08/08/08. If you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to
