For a Santa photo with a twist this year, grab your kids and head down to Cronulla Beach CBD. Dressed in his traditional red suit, Santa along with your kids will be framed by a stunning Cronulla Beach backdrop, complete with funky beachside accessories.
Held daily from 1 December, photo sessions are available from 10am to 4pm and, with the excitement of meeting Santa and the colourful mix of traditional Christmas decorations, the experience will be one that your kids will not quickly forget.
Four legged members of the family haven’t been forgotten either, with special sessions every Wednesday between 2pm and 4pm, when both your pets and your kids can share a photo.
These photos are perfect for grandparents, the family photo album or in pride of place in the living room. Early birds can enjoy a special saving from 1-16 December with three 5 x 7’ photographs for just $20. The same deal costs $25 from 17 until 24 December and includes postage.
Remember every child will receive a special present from Santa.

Credit Union helping local businesses and its members
Sutherland Credit Union at Engadine has brought a new dimension to banking, with the introduction of the Mutual Value Program an innovative scheme, that not only provides unique discounts and special offers to credit union members but also supports the growth of local businesses.
In total, there are about 30 local businesses currently participating in the program and each one can reach potential customers through the credit union’s newsletters, website and branches at Engadine, Cronulla, Menai, Miranda and Sutherland. In return, each business provides exclusive discounts and special offers for credit union members.
Committed to giving back to the people and providing a different banking experience, credit union manager, Vags Loutas maintains that although the Shire’s credit union is fully owned by its members the program is in fact a “win/win” for everyone involved.
Local businesses that are already participating in the program include Tyre Plus, Engadine Music, Larousse French Restaurant, Kogarah Plumbing, Jappay’s Landscaping, Abroenent Building Services, Aquatic Explorers, Patsy Anne Shopping Tours, Australia Plumbing, Phill’s Custom Framing, Ben Mairana Entertainment, Southern Sydney Fishing Tours, Cushendall Wines, Club Vulcan Fitness Training, Network Data, Mitchell Reece Solicitors, Klink Marketing, DEMe Natural Health Group, RE/MAX Realty Partners, Scott Lyons Building Services, Property Search 4U and Just Juniors Magazine.
All people who live and/or work in the Shire are welcome to join the credit union and take advantage of the offers. For new investors, the credit union has announced some very attractive deposit rates as well as some very competitive loans for people looking to save money on their home, car and other finance arrangements.
The Sutherland Credit Union branch is located in the heart of Engadine on the corner of the Old Princes Highway and Station Street. A full list of Sutherland Credit Union Mutual Value Program offers can be obtained at the Engadine Branch or at Credit Union’s website www.sutherlandcu.com.au. |
