Member for Mallee, Dr Anne Webster MP, says that while the national federal election results are extremely disappointing, Mallee voters have re-elected The Nationals in a strong rejection of Labor's appalling treatment of the electorate ... "Not only has there been a swing towards The Nationals in Mallee this election, it looks likely that we have won Mallee on first preferences and now hold Mallee with one of the largest margins for a Coalition seat in the nation."
Sentimental parting of vintage farm machinery
Either way, Sunday, May 18, will be a day of mixed emotions for Wedderburn identity, Tony Hansen, because on May 18 he hopes to sell his collection of iconic items of vintage farm machinery. These relics of the pioneering past are like “best mates” to Tony, who has arrived at that point in time to see his “best mates” move on to another collector, or possibly a machinery museum.

Northern Grampians withdraws from five-council alliance
Northern Grampians Shire Council has withdrawn from a five-council alliance created to collectively advocate to State Government on issues including transmission lines, renewable energy and mining. The alliance, formed in February this year, also includes Buloke, Gannawarra, Yarriambiack and Loddon councils, which are all directly impacted...
Buloke’s clarification
Recent media reporting has incorrectly suggested that Buloke Shire Council, along with neighbouring councils, has entered into a $100 million deal with VicGrid in relation to the VNI West transmission project. This is incorrect.

Under grey skies we remember
ANZAC Day in a small town still feels personal, over a century after the events at Gallipoli. We just need to look around to see how a small community would be impacted by the absence or loss of a large proportion of its men and young people.
All British Rally
Last Saturday was the 47th All British Rally featuring the ride to Main Street Maldon. I met my wife Robyn through a mutual interest in old motorcycles and her late father Merv Cooper was one of the founder members of the BSA owners club who organise the rally.

Local talent steps up
Some of the toughest riders in the country took on the 'Kosi Killer' leg of the Australian Hard Enduro Championships at Towong Upper on the weekend. With 224 competitors battling through punishing terrain and brutal conditions, it was an unforgettable event that showcased the grit and talent of Australia's best.
Rare extension made to restrictions
The Fire Danger Period (FDP) will be extended in parts of Victoria including Towong Shire for the first time since 2019, as unseasonably dry conditions continue to elevate fire risk. A lack of rainfall has left vegetation in the state's South West and parts of the North East susceptible to fire ignition, with some areas as dry as they were during the devastating 1982/83 fire season.
ANZAC Day
Now immortalised on the Barham water tower, the Koondrook Barham ANZAC Day march once again drew a huge crowd to commemorate those who served our nation.
Election day this Saturday
If you hadn’t noticed, it’s election season, and the madness ends this Saturday (I hope). The promises are flying thick and fast, and now it’s your choice to decide. This will be Australia’s biggest election with 710,000 more people on the electoral roll and 570 early voting centres none of which are local leaving residents baffled.

Nhill community honours ANZAC Day
The Nhill community came together in strong numbers to commemorate ANZAC Day, with around 300 people attending the Dawn Service and approximately 200 at the 11am service.
