Welcome to the Friends of Beyond Newsletter

The Friends of Beyond Management Committee has agreed that an email newsletter is the best means for regular communication with members of the Friends of Beyond Association. Any important member information that may arise outside of the newsletter will be emailed directly to members. The aim of the newsletter is to provide members with news from the FOB Management Committee and Alexandrina Council and to enhance a sense of community through feature articles about residents, the Beyond environment, flora and fauna and local ideas, events and projects.

Autumn has arrived although many of us may wonder whether summer ever landed here at Beyond! Hopefully we will soon receive some good rains for our gardens, rainwater tanks and wetlands!

Still in South Australia we have fared considerably better than the rest of Australia with their prolonged heatwaves, flashfloods, storms, bushfires and other unusual weather events. And we have fared better here with COVID-19 as well. And the latest news regarding vaccinations is great to hear. Hopefully we’ll all have a better 2021 than 2020! Luckily here at Beyond residents have enjoyed relatively mild weather amid our beautiful surroundings.

And it is this appreciation of our environment and flora and fauna that has led to the formation of the Friends of Beyond Inc. to preserve and improve our wonderful community assets.
