With safety fencing going up at Toora’s Royal Standard hotel, all of a sudden there is a buzz going round the town that there’s life in the old girl yet.

Over the King’s birthday weekend, the Toora Football Netball Club celebrated the retirement of the number 21 jersey in honour of two extraordinary men who wore it with pride across six decades of service.

It's been an outstanding fortnight for local runners, with impressive performances at both the Southern Rail Trail race last Saturday and yesterday's Gippsland Region Primary and Secondary Cross-Country Championships.

The netballers were back with gusto after a week off for the King’s holiday, and it was a winning Round 9 for many of the Prom Coast teams.

This traditional bread and butter pudding is a very economical dessert that turns slightly stale bread into something heavenly.

Wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers are invited to participate in the Annual Lyrebird Count, taking place from 11-13 July 2025 across Fish Creek and Cape Liptrap Coastal Park in Victoria.
