THE GREYTON POST
NOV /DECEMBER 2025
Dear Readers,
that summer brings its own challenges. The risk of fire is high — please be vigilant, mindful, and take a moment to read our important fire safety article. A single spark can change everything. Above all, let’s move into the new year with kindness. Be watchful, be considerate, and keep an eye out for neighbours, visitors, and our beautiful surroundings. Wishing you all a peaceful, fire-free festive season — and may 2026 be filled with humour, kindness and of course, a plethora of stories to be told.

As we close the final issue of The Greyton Post for the year, I find myself reflecting — with deep gratitude and a happy sigh — on all that’s unfolded in our glorious valley. From the triumph of The Canola Roller to the artistry of Sâ at The Post House , the inspiring stories, creative ventures, and good- hearted community initiatives, this year has been stitched together by stories of courage, kindness, and connection. To our loyal readers, generous advertisers, and passionate contributors — thank you. You are the reason this newspaper thrives. Your stories, support, and riveting conversations are what make The Greyton Post truly yours. As the festive season approaches and our streets fill with joy, let’s remember

WORD SEARCH SUMMER FLOWERS
Ah Summer had me sprawled out – I, flayed at will for the sun above, breached below – and shone along with my skin’s glistening sweat beads – spreading intensity, stretching my palms upwards, superseding the fabric – seeking the fibers of soul to let go – for the sun may penetrate your innards but ah the waters we climb into – after the shards of heat have hit us are ever-forgiving as we go bottomless.
