Jason decided to finish this epic 100 day run by pushing himself even harder and combining the last two runs into one 24 hour sleepless stint. He invited people to sponsor him and guess how many kilometres he would run, with all the money to go to his cause Bettermentall Health Inc.
But Jason wasn’t always fit and wasn’t always as capable. We go back to who he was and how he changed just a few short years ago.
In two years the Trafalgar Fire Brigade will celebrate their centenary. To celebrate this, they want to publish a book detailing the brigade’s history.
We are asking members of the community to help us to produce this book by donating or loaning items. This can include photos and newspaper articles. We would also like to photograph old fire fighting equipment and uniforms.
In September, The Baw Baw Shire Council awarded almost $100,000 in community grants. These grants will help 25 not-for-profit organisations and associations throughout the shire.
Applications for this round of funding were accepted in July and will help fund sporting clubs, arts groups, and environmental and animal care organisations.

If you are looking for a dining experience with a difference, we suggest a visit to Carrajung Estate Winery, previously well known as Toms Cap Vineyard, at Willung South, which was run brilliantly by Ann and Graham Morris.
Often when new people take over a successful business, it can disappoint. Not so in this case; we found head chef Patrick Haney provided an interesting menu when we visited for lunch a couple of Sundays ago. The service was brilliant and the food was top quality all the way.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and why is this important?
By the end of 2024 it is predicted that 20,973 women will be diagosed with breast cancer in Australia this year, but it doesn’t stop there. Did you know that men can also develop breast cancer? It is anticipated that 221 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer as well this year.
Back in 2018 the then Minister for Roads and Safety, Luke Donnellan, announced the formation of RRV saying in part that RRV would be “a dedicated country roads body to make sure regional communities have the safe and reliable roads they deserve”.
That hasn’t eventuated and RRV has been quietly dropped. The RRV website was live until June, with the URL now redirecting to the projects page of the Transport Victoria website, with no mention of RRV, while the agency’s last Facebook post was in August last year.
