One of the Wimmera’s favourite events for women in agriculture is returning in October. After crowning the leading teams in the competition after the recent grand finals, the Wimmera hockey community gathered to acknowledge the leading individual achievements for the season. Police are warning there will be zero tolerance for drink and drug driving over the AFL Grand Final long weekend. As temperatures rise, snakes are emerging from a period of reduced activity during winter seeking food and mates. Snakes may be more visible during the warmer months, but it’s important to remember that they will generally avoid people. The Hindmarsh Shire Council was successful in their application to substitute days for the 2024 Melbourne Cup Day public holiday in Nhill and Rainbow. When nominations closed at 12 pm on Tuesday, eight individuals had nominated for the six positions across the three Wards in the Hindmarsh Shire. Three big grand finals brought the Wimmera hockey season to an end in style at Dimboola on Saturday. The Wimmera hockey season will culminate on the turf at the Dimboola Health and Fitness Centre on Saturday, with three eagerly anticipated grand finals to decide the premierships. At the Hindmarsh Shire Council meeting held at the end of August, the recipients of several rounds of grants were announced.

After a drier-than average autumn and winter, Victoria’s far west and southwest are facing an increased fire risk leading into summer. Noticeboard
