I’m Dexter, a sweet and gentle Mastiff mix looking for a loving home to call my own. I may be a big fella, but I’m as soft as they come – just a gentle giant who wants to be close to my family. My favourite things? Going for nice daily walks, hanging out in the backyard with my favourite humans and curling up next to you on the couch for some good old-fashioned companionship. I’m pretty laid-back and well-mannered, and I wouldn’t mind sharing my home with another calm, respectful dog who gives me my space. I may be a little older, but that just means I have years of wisdom and plenty of love to share. Blaxon, Dexter and more wonderful pets are waiting to meet you at the AWL Coombabah on Shelter Road.

Please include your name, address and phone number in the email • Entries close 10.06.2025 From the multi-million copy bestselling author of The Women, The Four Winds and The Nightingale, Summer Island is a poignant, warm and tender novel about a mother and daughter-the complex ties that bind them, the past that separates them, and the healing that comes with forgiveness. Years ago, Nora Bridge walked out on her marriage and left her daughters behind. She has since become a famous radio talk-show host and newspaper columnist beloved for her moral advice. Her youngest daughter, Ruby, is a struggling comedienne who uses her famous mother as fuel for her bitter, cynical humour. When the tabloids unearth a scandalous secret from Nora’s past, their estrangement suddenly becomes dramatic. Nora is injured in an accident and a glossy magazine offers Ruby a fortune to write a tell-all about her mother. Under false pretences, Ruby returns home to take care of the woman she hasn’t spoken to for almost a decade. Nora insists they retreat to Summer Island, to the lovely old house on the water where Ruby grew up, a place filled with childhood memories of love and joy and belonging. There Ruby is also reunited with her first love and his brother. Once, the three of them had been best friends, inseparable. Until the summer that Nora had left and everyone’s hearts had been broken . . . .
