BACK TO BISCUITS: After a five month lay-off due to COVID, Aussie Biscuits is back operating in their new premises. From 600 biscuits a day 45 years ago to 35,000 today we are glad they are back!
Aussie Biscuits Cooking Again: In a massive development for the local treasure, Aussie Biscuits is up and running again after a COVID enforced lay-off that lasted nearly half a year.
Brett Thompson of Aussie Biscuits was ecstatic to return citing how difficult it had been for many especially participants with a disability during the break. “It was hard for a few of our participants for sure,” he said.
“Unfortunately though due to how dangerous and contagious the virus was we had no choice but to cease production,” Brett said. “I know everyone is over the moon though that we are finally back to normal.”
From 600 biscuits a day back in 1976 through to 35,000 today it is certainly great to see Forbes local treasure back in full swing!
Choose To Challenge Wraps With Wonderful Women Exhibit: The rain didn’t stop a strong turn out for the finale of the IWD Choose to Challenge Exhibition that ran at the Platypus Gallery for the last two weeks.

Well done Forbes Art Society, Forbes Business Chamber and all concerned for a fabulous exhibition!

Wet Weather Continues: Last week we said there was a chance of more rain and now a good part of the state is experiencing flash flooding. While Forbes is some way off at the moment, another week of torrential rain and we may have to summon Steve Carrell’s ark from Evan Almighty.
Ninja Park Nearing Completion: It’s the park everyone can’t wait to see open – the new Forbes Ninja Park as final touches are being put on what will surely be one of the more popular family hangouts once it’s up and running. Perhaps we may find Australia’s next ninja warrior right here in Forbes!
