When wild weather and heavy rain hit the Southern Tablelands earlier this month the Queanbeyan Age was on hand to share the news, provide weather warnings, keep the community informed about road closures and highlight the efforts and advise of our SES volunteers and emergency services.

It might not have been a matter of national significance, but if it matters to you, it matters to us.
We want to be here, well into the future, to tell the stories affecting people from all corners of Queanbeyan and surrounding communities.
It is often the case that you don't need us until you do.
And it is no secret that the past two years have been turbulent for news organisations, not just in Australia, but across the world.
No masthead has been immune to the challenges of providing vital information to readers in the face of mounting production costs and volatile conditions. It has been no different for www.queanbeyanage.com.au, however the masthead has continued to provide locals with local news that matters.
From news about storms and rain to hit the region, traffic updates, to stories shared about hard work and dedication of citizens in the community such as Australia Day honour recipient Edward Helm or the latest on the property market - we've been here to tell the stories that make our area so unique.
We've been there for the first day of school for thousands of kindergarteners, for the 60th and 70th wedding anniversaries, the 100th birthdays, and for the tributes to those who have passed. We've been here for the bushfires, floods and the droughts.
A community without a voice is a community left vulnerable to exploitation; to being ignored and overlooked.
We want to be here to be your voice when called upon, to deliver the news you need and to document the highs and lows of life in the Queanbeyan community.
To do that, we've moved to a subscription model that offers real value to readers. It's a model, that I, as Editor, am proud of.
For just $18/four weeks, you'll not only get unlimited access to www.queanbeyanage.com.au you'll also unlock access to the award-winning journalism of The Canberra Times - as well as other ACT, Southern Tablelands and surrounding region mastheads such as Goulburn Post, Crookwell Gazette, Yass Tribune and Braidwood Times.
That's news from every corner of the ACT, Southern Tablelands and surrounding region, covering the issues that matter in each area - and all of it can be accessed from your phone, tablet or computer.
We will deliver the stories of importance straight to your email inbox and alert you to breaking news. You'll also get access to puzzles, crosswords and more.
We're planning for the future of news in the Queanbeyan area and making sure we're set up to serve you in the best way possible. We're hoping you'll come along for the ride.
