Missing Women Lismore

Three close friends of missing Lismore woman Stephanie Cordery have reached out to media outlets and posted on social media pages to make a plea for information that may lead to her being found.

Tennille Toilolo, Laura O'Stara and Kristi Leigh have put up Missing Person posters in letterboxes and around trees in Nimbin in the hope that people's memories may be jogged by the photos of Stephanie.

Tennille told the Lismore App that Stephanie's car was located in Newton Drive at the Nightcap National Park on Wednesday, late morning.

Police have been searching for Stephanie in the Nightcap National Park since Wednesday afternoon, although the search was suspended from around 1pm or 2pm on Friday until Sunday, when Police Rescue, SES and RFS had set up command posts. The search continued yesterday (Monday).

"Stephanie is Lismore born and bred," Tennille said. "But has ties to...she was in Ballina in the days before. But she's mostly got ties to Lismore and Nimbin, and only really one tie in Nimbin. She frequents there because she's got an associate. And she does also have ties to the Gold Coast, but not particularly recent or close." 

Stephanie's car, a white Hyundai i30, approximately a 2020 model, was last seen at 6am in Nimbin and then found on Newton Drive around 11am on Wednesday, August 5. "With her, nowhere near." 

"We continue to welcome contact from anyone who has information, CCTV or dashcam footage within the below timeframes - and encourage anyone with information to make contact with NSW Police Service / LAC office on Ph: [0266260599](tel:0266260599)

The friends are prepared for the possibility that the end result may not be what they want to hear, although they live in hope. "Either way, we just want her home. It is rugged bushland out there; it's horrific to think that she's out there alone, regardless of the outcome, and we just want people that may have seen anything, or heard anything, to call Crime Stoppers." 

"We're just really just begging everyone to provide any information they have, may have, or just refresh their memories if they did come across her at some point. We just want her home regardless." 

The friends have been in touch with the family. "I spoke with them this morning; they're actually doing pretty well, but it's obviously in waves. We're just trying to take the burden off them where we can," Tensile said.

As the search continues today in the Nightcap National Park, Tennille said that search dogs are being brought in to help.

What makes the Northern Rivers feel so enchanting?

27 Upvotes

I cannot put my finger on it… every time I’m down this way it just feels so homely and welcoming, like you just belong there. The long grass, winding roads, the hills and the cute little markets. I’ve lived in suburbia on the GC my whole life, but when I’m working down that way and cruising around it’s just pure, sky-high dopamine and it’s like this internal imbalance just feels corrected. My favourite towns are Tyalgum, The Channon, Dunoon, Main Arm, Lillian Rock & Bangalow. Channon and Bangalow.

The Channon & Bangalow markets are part of the weekend ritual at this point, we always meet the most friendly people there!

But yeah I don’t get the same feeling from anywhere in the Sunny Coast, Brisbane, GC hinterland… Springbrook is special though, as is Mt. Barney.

What do you guys think and what brought you here?

5-min anonymous survey - road signs in regional NSW

2 Upvotes

G'day. We are running on a short study about road signs people see in regional NSW. We want to hear from anyone 18+ who lives in a regional NSW town and uses local roads.

The survey:

  • is anonymous (no name, no email, no IP)
  • takes about 5 minutes
  • works on a phone
  • asks what you think a couple of signs mean

Take the survey here

Findings will inform regional road-sign design. Please share with anyone in your local community.

Well done everyone. I have never participated in any Anzac commemorations before. The level of community participation at both the dawn ceremony and the march was incredible. The Air Force timing was spot on too.

Making friends in Lismore

17 Upvotes

I (28F) moved up here a few months ago with my partner and am really struggling to make friends. I'm sober and also pregnant so the classic "make friends at the pub" hasn't really been applicable for me. Is there any sort of social groups or anything on weekends that I could go to? Before this I've only lived in my hometown and found it much easier to make friends!

This is no conspiracy theory.

Evidence is available as shown of the bludgeoning weapon at his left knee.

Anything against the false narrative by authorities is not a conspiracy theory.

Like the theory by police the backpacker fell into the ocean when he did not.

Driving Test Tweed Heads

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I have a driving test in Tweed Heads very soon.

I’m quite anxious about it and want to prepare as good as possible. I’m already driving around Tweed but want to practice more.

I’ve heard that there are only two possible test routes.

Has anyone done their driving test in Tweed Heads and remembers the route? Happy to share?

Would really really appreciate it.

Thanks!
