Happy New Year to all of our Lismore App readers!

The first weekend of 2025 looks to be mostly fine, so there is no excuse not to get outdoors and enjoy what's left of the Christmas/NY holidays.

The Bureau says there is a 40% chance of a shower on Saturday with a top of 27 degrees, while Sunday is forecast to be a partly cloudy day with a maximum of 29.

As you would expect at this time of year, there is very little on in terms of events.

The Lismore Farmers Markets get back into action after having last weekend off at the Lismore Showground from 7:30.

Fresh fruit and veg, plants, flowers, breakfast, coffee/tea and live music from Phil Bromley is the order of the day.

The new Rail Trail is open and ready for families to explore, as is the upgraded Heritage Park with the new Gigadome and the miniature train.

For those looking for something more physical, check out the bush walks in the hills Walks.
