Motoring With Leonard Ward Ford Fairlane V-8 Drive Review
Leonard Ward tests the Ford Fairlane V-8 on Victoria and NSW highways, noting the five inch longer wheelbase than the Falcon, a 210 bhp V-8 engine, Cruise-O-Matic, and disc brakes. He praises stability, safety features, and comfort like reclining seats, power steering, and excellent heater, while comparing Australian pricing and options across Custom and Si models.

Parking Enforcement at Watson Shopping Centre
Parking rules will be enforced in the Watson area with one hour limit and 90 degree angle to the curb. Signs restrict parking in front of shops and private loading areas, causing vehicles to park at rear areas hindering customer access. An investigation by the Interior National Capital Development Council and ACT agencies found two marked signs and bays to prevent vehicles from using the rear parking area.

Post Office Parking Restrictions Expand
The plan adds three minute parking during business hours near Civic Manuka Kongston and Pow Offices. A four blanket 74 hour day ban replaces current limits to curb long stays. The change aims to ease parking for private mail box renters and mailers outside normal hours when spaces are scarce. Signs will be installed as available.
