Tweed/Byron Police District Commander, Superintendent David Roptell, praised the good behaviour of the vast majority of festivalgoers.

“While most of the attendees were compliant, it’s disappointing that we continue to detect the possession and supply of prohibited drugs,” Supt Roptell said.

“The safety of music fans attending the festival is and continues to be our number one priority, and we make no apology for coming down hard on drug possession and supply.” Meanwhile, police are urging people returning home to travel safely on the roads.

“With thousands of festival goers leaving today, allow extra travel time, expect delays and make sure you take regular rest breaks,” Supt Roptell said.

“Our Traffc and Highway Patrol offcers will be cracking down on motorists who refuse to obey the road rules.”

Little ones had a chance to kick up their feet and move around last week with the frst session of mainly music held by The Village Playgroup in Evans Head at the Presbyterian Church.

Established in 1990, mainly music is a fun, faith-based, educational music program for children from 0 to 5 years old and their parents and carers to enjoy together.

“Sessions are around

30 minutes followed by a provided morning tea and play time for the kids while the adults sit back and enjoy a cuppa,” said mainly music coordinator Lynne Fernance.

Last week’s launch saw around 9-10 children with their parents and carers dancing and doing actions to some favourite songs, using scarfs, searching for pictures, playing with puppets and generally having an educational and fun time together.

“The weekly sessions will continue to be full of songs and rhymes, actions and movement, designed to engage the parent or carer and the child,” said Ms Fernance.

“You’ll be creating memories together with the one-on-one attention you give, which will have them responding and developing as well.” You can fnd out more about mainly music at their Facebook page, Mainly Music Evans Head or Instagram at eh_mainly_music.

There has been a bit of rain across the area. Went to take the dog for a walk this morning and turned back as I saw bank of dark clouds being blown our way.

We did get caught but
