THE
BEACON Shedding light on the communities from Lions Bay to Dundarave
No. 58
September/October 2023
Our first edition 10 years ago T en years ago, we decided it was time to showcase the incredible people, events, and natural beauty of our community. We were told our dream was silly. People with more experience, more know-how in the publishing industry, more skill, said it would never work. But the thing about dreamers is that “little” things like logic, reality, and roadblocks are simply minor inconveniences. So we did it anyway. In September 2013, our first edition - with no name - arrived at 500 homes in the Caulfeild area. This, the 58th edition, will be delivered to over 5000 homes between Dundarave and Lions Bay. All editions are now online too, reaching a much greater readership than we ever imagined. We thank our many contributing writers, loyal advertisers and supportive readers for making these 10 years possible. We could not have done it without all of you. Chris, Lindy, Penny, Melissa
