Temporary Pause: Trafnews Operations Halted

News
On behalf of the Traf News management and editorial committees, we would like to provide an update to the Trafalgar Community regarding our newspaper. As we navigate through these challenging times, we have experienced some operational and financial difficulties over the past 6 months. Despite successfully adapting to the pandemic, we have faced a reduction in advertising revenue which has greatly impacted the paper’s viability.

Mirboo North Italian festa

News
Traffic jams aren’t always bad news. People must have heard how good the food was in Mirboo North last month. Cars were literally backed up as far as the Mirboo North-Trafalgar Road turnoff, waiting to get into this year’s Mirboo North Italian Festa. So big was the crowd, they had to park cars on the footy ground - and even that overflowed.
