		<title>There are too many clubs in Bowral</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the 48 comments on Wingecarribee Council&#8217;s Town Centre Masterplan Forum claims there are &#8220;too many latenight clubs&#8221; in Bowral, while another bemoans the &#8220;well coifured ladies&#8221; (sic) who &#8220;drive Mercedeses&#8221; (sic) and dump rubbish at charity collection bins. Despite the forums being open since November 2012, they have only  managed to attract about [...]]]></description>

As such, if you want to keep up to date with the Federal Election, you should follow our blog Highlands Votes.

		<title>Introducing Highlands Votes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of our commitment to trying new things at The Tulip, we like to set up new sites occasionally to see if they take hold in the community. One such site is Highlands Votes &#8211; a simple blog about politics in the Highlands. It isn&#8217;t aiming to be a comprehensive political site, but hopefully [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Plane Sir, the Plane</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems a near certainty that a second Sydney airport will be built soon. If only they could agree on a site!
