July 19 edition

This fortnight we put the spotlight on power outages which continue to disrupt local communities for many hours at a time.

We take a look at the Strzelecki Car Rally which made a welcome return to our patch and attracted hundreds of spectators.

Wellington Shire Council have their say on the latest Library rumours.

We pay tribute to Alison Vardy who died last month.

2026 has been a great year for walnuts - and we chat with Helen and Doug Baud about their latest crop.

It was Woodside Hall's turn to be in the spotlight - the Damien Callinan Hall Stories roadshow rolled into town and some interesting stories were told about how the current Hall came about - what happened to the original Hall and everything else before and after.

It is always great to see new businesses and services opening in our community and this week we welcome Sophie Edwards - kinesiology - who has joined the wonderful team at Yarram Oesto.

Plus, there is all the other local happenings and sports reports.
