 Arthur Joseph Weir from Winiam, near Nhill, fell during the World War One Battle of Fromelles and for nearly a century, he did not have a known grave, but now he does.  The Wimmera hockey season hits off this weekend with two matches under lights at Dimboola on Friday evening, and the remainder of the round on Saturday.  In a breathtaking display of colour, rhythm and unity, over 50 multicultural performers from across the region came together for a show-stopping grand finale at the Wimmera Steampunk Festival in Dimboola. |
