Alien identified!

Congratulations to Stella Sakkeus and Paul Harvey who reported on the jellyfish that we see off the side of the ferry!

It is the Blue Blubber (Catostylus mosaicus), is native to Victorian coastal waters, and its sting is not dangerous.

Bush dance a local hit

Kay Moore reports the Music Festival bush dance went very well...

'We had over 100 people happily dancing  the 'Drongo', the 'Kangaroo Hop', the 'Stockyards', the Gallopede', 'Pride of Erin', the 'Muffinman' and many others. Australian Colonial songs were performed by the band and guest singer-songwriter Bob Moorhouse entertained the crowd with two of his originals. 

A special thanks go to the band members for keeping the energy flowing all night, and to Jill,  Peter, Marilyn, Natalie and friends for keeping the sausages supplied, manning the door and tidying up.   

Thank you to all the locals and visitors who attended to make the evening a great success. We had families with babies and children; all ages were represented and joined in together. 

You can see the night's photos on our new Events page!
