🌅Lest We Forget – ANZAC Day 2026🌅

Today, on ANZAC Day, we pause to honour and remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of all Australian and New Zealand men and women who have served our nations in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping.

We reflect on the enduring spirit of the ANZACs — bravery, mateship, resilience, and selflessness — values that continue to shape who we are today.

We also take a moment to acknowledge the animals who served alongside them — the horses, donkeys, dogs, pigeons, and many others who carried, protected, and supported troops, often in the most difficult conditions. Their loyalty and contribution will never be forgotten.

Today, we extend our gratitude beyond our shores, recognising the service and sacrifice of our allies — standing together in times of conflict, united by shared values of courage, peace, and humanity.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

🌿 Lest We Forget 🌿

A heartfelt thank you to Alkane Resources (Costerfield) for once again supporting our Annual International Women’s Day Breakfast, held each year at The Watering Hole. Your continued support helps make this event possible and allows our community to come together to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, ‘Balance the Scales’ is a promise that every woman and girl – regardless of background or identity – should be safe, heard, and free to shape their own lives. Yet in 2026, too many across Australia and the world are still denied that fair go. Discriminatory laws, policies, and practices persist. Gender-based violence remains widespread, and structural barriers block too many from seeking or receiving justice.

These barriers are not inevitable. They are built – and they can be dismantled. Equality is not about advantage for some; it's about dignity, safety, and fairness for all.
When women and girls stand equal, families are stronger, workplaces are fairer, communities thrive, and society becomes safer for everyone.
On International Women’s Day, and every day, let's Balance the Scales together.

Events like this breakfast give us the chance to reflect on how far we’ve come while recognising the work still ahead. Celebrating the achievements of women—past and present—not only honours their contributions but also inspires the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.

Thank you again to Alkane Resources (Costerfield) for helping us create a space to connect, celebrate, and continue the conversation around equality. 💜

There is an Extreme Fire Danger rating in the North East. Much of the rest of the state has a High Fire Danger Rating, while West and South Gippsland have a Moderate rating.

A Total Fire Ban has been declared for the North East, meaning no fires can be lit or be allowed to remain alight in the open air - this includes campfires and some BBQs. Check out what you can and can’t do during a Total Fire Ban on the CFA (Country Fire Authority) website: www.cfa.vic.gov.au/can

The response to the four major fires continues, with hundreds of CFA, Forest Fire Management Victoria, and Fire Rescue Victoria firefighters, supported by the broader emergency management sector, monitoring hot spots and containment lines, and assessing impacts.

Thunderstorms are possible across the far northern and eastern parts of the state, expected in the afternoon and evening.

There is a slight risk that storms may produce large hail and damaging winds in the far east.
