The neighbour who
always brings in your bins.
A little kindness deserves a big, bony thank you.
THE SKELETONS ARE COMING OUT.
A little spooky.
A lot of heart.
One greyhound. A lawn full of skeletons.
And a whole community worth celebrating.
Welcome to Harlow’s House of Horrors, where October means skeleton shenanigans in Googong — all to help Harlow’s friends at Greyhound Rescue.
On the lawn. Throughout October. For the long bois & girls.
NEW FOR 2026
Harlow’s
Googonian Heroes.
This year, the skeletons are taking inspiration from you. Share the stories of great people around you who have done good deeds, had big moments or little wins. Harlow will recreate them on the front lawn with questionable acting and excellent bone structure. (By Harlow, we mean her hard working, generous and exhausted Mum. Harlow is strictly the face of the operation and the manager)

The grand final.
The engagement. The new pup.
Got something to celebrate? The skeletons are ready.
The kid who cleaned
their room. Unprompted.
Frankly, that might be the most unbelievable story yet.
THE OCTOBER CHRONICLES
The lawn is waiting for its leading legends.
Each week in October, a new skeleton scene and the story behind it will appear here. Visit the Stories page for photos, videos and Harlow’s interpretation of events.

Know someone
who deserves
a little fuss?
A brilliant neighbour. A local business. Someone who just made it through a really hard week.
Tell Harlow who they are and why they deserve a moment in the spotlight. Big or small, we’d love to hear their story.
Your local hero’s moment starts here.
Tell us their story. Harlow will take it from there.
Nominate a Local HeroWhat happens if a story is selected?
We’ll talk with the nominee and nominator before anything is shared, including which names, photos and details they’re happy for us to use. Pseudonyms are welcome. We’ll only celebrate people publicly with their agreement.
MEET THE MANAGEMENT
Rescue greyhound.
Chief skeleton supervisor.
Very good girl.
The heart behind
the horrors.
Harlow found her own home through Greyhound Rescue. Now she’s helping her fellow long dogs find theirs.
Every October, our front lawn in Rosa Street becomes a stage for skeletons getting into all sorts of mischief. Behind the silliness is a cause close to our hearts: raising funds for the rescue that brought Harlow into our lives.
So enjoy the stories, cheer on your neighbours and, if you can, send a little love to Harlow’s friends.
For the love of long dogsA GOOD CAUSE. NO BONES ABOUT IT.
Help a hound find
their happy ending.
Our skeletons do the entertaining.
