This is just the start of a better service to our readers: more sport, easier access to the best in property, more news.

As we bring you the best in community reporting, we are also continuing our pledge to be part of your community: this week we look at The Ponds being the second most popular housing estate in Australia, the famous Sydney Doll and Bear Show is coming to Stanhope Gardens and we get ready for the 15th annual Tour de Hills, now a major fun ride and charity fund-raiser on the Sydney cycling calendar.

We're also on your side making sure the Rouse Hill Stanhope Gardens area gets its fair share from all levels of government; federal, state and local.

And on a gentler note, soon we'll be inviting you all to morning tea keep reading for more details.

Cheers,

Phyllis Macgraw, Editor.
