 The Horsham Cricket Association 2021/22 season resumed this weekend after the New Year break, but it was not the ideal return for the local teams.

Australia Day will be celebrated across the Hindmarsh Shire with events hosted in Dimboola, Jeparit, Rainbow, and Nhill on January 26. |
 The summer ahead is filled with promise, with the Wimmera River looking nice and healthy thanks to natural flows doing the heavy lifting. Regular rain during late autumn, winter, spring and into summer has kept the river flowing, and coupled with mild weather conditions, fish and other water creatures are thriving. |
Now, more than ever, it's important to support local businesses. |
