It’s Show Time

The Sunbury show is on this Saturday for one day only, and has been running for 102 years. What started as a horse sale has now become one of a handful of agricultural shows still running today. Imagine the Royal Melbourne show, but just on a smaller scale. From animals, to live entertainment, this show is a family favourite and has something for everyone. My pick for the Show is the Dog Dash and Dog High Jump. There’s something about watching a dog jumping unbelieveable heights. [ INFO ]

Sleep at the Airport for a cause

Embrace your car for one night and sleep in it to raise funds and awareness for the homeless and domestic violence. Melbourne Airport CEO Lorie Argus said “the event was a powerful reminder of an often-unseen crisis”. The aim is to raise $100,000 dollars to go towards a service where demand is out stripping supply. [ INFO ]

Hi Q to pay for breach of Licence

The company behind the incinerator proposal in Bulla has breached it’s license by conducting new works on the Bulla site and not applying for a permit to do so. The EPA expressly granted the license on the provison that the company does not start what is called a new cell. The company ignored this condition and was fined. [ INFO ]

Diwali Weekend Market

This weekend Craigieburn Central is putting on the Diwali Market to celebrate the “Festival of Lights” it is a time of joy and togetherness for the Indian community. The vibrant market is featuring 16 local vendors offering colourful crafts, jewellery, sweets, and gifts. It’s the perfect opportunity to find unique Diwali decorations, handmade goodies, and special treats to celebrate the festival with family and friends. [ INFO ]

Celebrity chef visits 30 year old Bakery

Curtis Stone the well known chef who everyone will probably know from the Coles commercials, made a beeline straight to Tabets Bakery in Gladstone Park when he was got of the plane this week. Tabets Bakery is an instituion and not long ago celebrated their 30 year anniversary. They have the best Lebanese Pizza I have tasted and what I love about this cuisine is the clean and punchy flavours. [ INFO ]
