We're back. Same roundabout, new lap.
Round About Blackwood is your weekly guide to what's on around Blackwood and the Hills — markets, shows, storytime, working bees, the lot. We ran RAB for a while, took a break when the pricing stopped making sense, and now we're doing it properly: better tools, same nosy-neighbour energy. If you used to get RAB in your inbox, welcome back. If you're new here, welcome in.

Where we cover
Blackwood is home base, and we cover the suburbs around it too: Eden Hills, Belair, Glenalta, Hawthorndene, Craigburn Farm, Coromandel Valley, Bellevue Heights, and Panorama, plus a bit further out into Flagstaff Hill, Aberfoyle Park, Happy Valley and beyond. If it's a genuinely good event and it's a fair drive from Blackwood, we'll probably still tell you about it.
Who's behind it
RAB is run by Darbi Moore, Jon Moore, and Isabelle Langmaid at Moore Foundry, along with the rest of the team at our small creative studio based right here in Blackwood. We're not a big media company - we're a handful of locals who think this suburb deserves a proper community newsletter, and we're doing the design, the writing, and (occasionally) the frantic Thursday-morning event-checking ourselves.
