 The race for the Wimmera hockey premierships has begun, and although it is difficult to reach any significant conclusions after just one round, there were some intriguing results from the weekend.  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.  Motorists are urged to plan ahead and have plenty of rest before taking to the road this Easter, to ensure the holiday period is a memorable one for the right reasons.  Anglers from across the state will converge on Jeparit over the Easter weekend for the annual fishing competition.  There is a new way to travel in style to the Wimmera Steampunk Festival this year - by rail.  We’ve been waiting for two years, and it is finally here tomorrow - the third Wimmera Steampunk Festival.  Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have interviewed a man following a death in Kiata last week.  The Fire Danger Period is set to finish in several municipalities in western Victoria from 1.00 am next Monday morning.
