🎄Wishing A Merry Christmas & Peace On Earth To All - 2025!🎄
🎄Wishing A Merry Christmas & Peace On Earth To All - 2025!🎄
In these challenging times, when the world can feel a little heavier than usual, the twinkling Christmas lights adorning the homes in our local community shine even brighter as quiet acts of hope and generosity. To every family who has taken the time and effort to string up those colourful displays, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your lights do far more than decorate a house—they lift spirits, spark smiles on children’s faces, remind passers-by that kindness and community are still alive and glowing, and give us all a gentle nudge to look up and feel the magic of the season again.
From our little corner of the world to every home aglow tonight: may your Christmas be filled with warmth, peace, and the same joy you’ve so generously shared with the rest of us. Merry Christmas to all from Weston NSW History & Heritage—and here’s to brighter days ahead in 2026!

The name 'Maybury Peace Park' is in honour of the late Jeff Maybury who was a councillor on Cessnock City Council for 35 years. He was responsible, along with Jack King and others, for seeing to fruition the completion of Peace Park. Councillor Jeff Maybury was also responsible for the formation of the Weston Tidy Towns Committee. He passed away in 2015. See Weston Worthies
