What is RoleystoneNet?

RoleystoneNET is a local community website established in 2005. The domain name that was available at the time was Roleystone.net - hence the name of this community network. 

Originally written by Chris Horgan and maintained by Diane Horgan, a local family who settled in Roleystone 1976, RoleystoneNET originally contained many services such as 

  • a local Forum (what people used before the days of Social media)
  • local online classifieds
  • local event calendar
  • and a directory listing of all the local businesses
  • Firewatch - a live map of hotspots and bushfire information
  • The Roleystone Markets first webpage
  • The Roleystone Courier's first webpage and online archive. They now have their own website here... 

With Social media becoming more popular, Google Business taking over business listings, and the changing website industry, these features on RoleystoneNet have become redundant and have been discontinued.

What's left to do?

RoleystoneNET is still a source of General information

  • Community Contacts: Listing of Local Organisations.
  • Local Webs: Links to the other local Roleystone websites.
  • Event Calendar of what's happening locally.
  • General Information
  • Archival information

This site has always been a non-profit site run by locals (the Horgan family) for locals.
