Vintage cars help sick kids

Residents and visitors enjoyed a special Happy Hour fundraiser for the Royal Children's Hospital. The balmy Friday twilight at the Hall was the perfect setting for enjoying a good company, a glass of wine and the sausage sizzle. Stu Hughes played the blues and Paynesville IGA donated prizes for a raffle. But the stars, of course, were the cars and motorcycles on display of course!

Thanks to Les and Margaret Bradd for organising this event, and also to their helpers. A terrific result of $490 was raised for a Raymond Island donation to the Good Friday Appeal.

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.
