Due to COVID, fires and floods, the much‑loved community of Mount Victoria has been doing it tough. Despite that, it is heartening to see the birth of a new business: a great cafe in Station Street called Two Little Beans. Sisters and best friends Bek and Sam are doing their bit to bring tourists into Mount Victoria for great coffee and delicious home-cooked food whilst also giving residents a local treasure to enjoy. There is something to tempt everyone at Two Little Beans, with home‑cooked savoury and sweet food to die for. I encourage all members to stop off at that amazing cafe on their next visit to the Blue Mountains. Say hello and pick up some tasty treats. While members are there, they should take a little time to wander around Mount Victoria and see what else that historic place has to offer. It has taken a lot of courage for those two young local mums to follow their dreams in these challenging economic times. Bek and Sam's Blue Mountains community wishes them all the very best. May their business flourish; I have every faith it will.
