If the shopping is done then take just a little time to see some of the best Chrissy lights on the Peninsula at 1 Lulworth Place, Frankston. Have a look at the video and lights HERE before going. Finishes December 24. What a treat for the kids.

On New Years Eve, MornPen Shire will be sticking to their guns with bans on public entertainment, public fireworks and having alcohol in public places. Plenty of "rules" outlined here to help keep everyone nice.

Who read the story from a place called Rosebud in the American State of South Dakota? Was it too far away from us? Rosebud is an Indian Reservation, the home of the Sioux. It has plenty of relevance to Australia?

Could 'The Peninsula Star' encourage teens to write for us? What's on your mind? How about reviewing what you enjoy? Movies, music, dances, games or shows. I could create a page for you? 

Dogs are NOT permitted on Frankston or Seaford beaches between 9.30am and 7.30pm until March but are permitted at other times - provided they are on a leash. There are no free-roam beach areas in Frankston City. Failure to comply might score you a fine.

Just a reminder to MornPen Shire folk that your household recycling bin will be collected every week from now until Friday 3 February. Your normal 240L recycling bin (blue lid) will be collected on the same day it is currently every week rather than fortnightly. Read more here
