SNAPDRAGON’S JOKE

My wife asked me to buy ORGANIC vegetables

from the market. I went and looked around

and couldn't find any.

So I grabbed an old, tired looking employee and said,

"These vegetables are for my wife. Have they been

sprayed with any poisonous chemicals?"

The produce guy looked at me and said,

"No, sir, you'll have to do that yourself."

being read a story.

$3 MILLION BOOST FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN EAST GIPPSLAND

“We need further investment by all levels of government in quality infrastructure

that provides lasting community benefits, such as improving road safety,

growing the visitor economy and encouraging people to be more physically active, Earlier this month, the Federal Government announced it would provide

$448.5 million for regional economic recovery projects; $149.7 million to support

wildlife recovery and habitat restoration; $27.1 million to strengthen

telecommunications; $15 million for salvage timber operations; and $13.5 million

in additional mental health support.

Allocations to Gippsland councils through the new Local Roads

and Community Infrastructure Program are:

Wellington Shire Council $3,156,576 East Gippsland Shire Council $2,994,961 Latrobe City Council $1,700,085 South Gippsland Shire Council $2,384,531 Bass Coast Shire Council $923,666 Baw Baw Shire Council $1,795,027

ALPINE RALLY OF EAST GIPPSLAND

LOOKING GOOD FOR 2021

The Alpine Rally of East Gippsland organisers have been meeting on Zoom over the last month and draft plans

are taking shape for the centenary running of this iconic event in 2021 Australia's Alpine Rally is one of the oldest surviving motor sports events in the world. Only the french Grand

Prix, the Monte Carlo Rally, Pikes Peak Hill Climb and the Indianapolis 500 have been running for longer Australia's Alpine Rally continues to attract fields of 100 cars and is easily the most popular rally in Australia. Crews come from every state and now internationally too compete and take up the unique Alpine challenge.

For most, the aim is not o win, but to finish an achievement in itself. The event was shortened in 2019 by fires and rain on the one weekend but still managed to bring over $ 3 million of economic benefit to the East

Gippsland region. One of the big changes for 2021 will be an increase to three and a half days with the event starting on a Thursday afternoon and finishing Sunday afternoon. This means the distance covered has had an increase too. Total distance will be just over 12ookms with about 650 kms of that being competitive distance. This may even include at least one stage of over 60 kms. Another exciting change is that the Rally will visit Omeo just as it did in 1921, we even have an exciting Shire road stage within walking distance of the town

center a real treat for spectators. This also means the inclusion of some of the best high country, mountain rally stages in Australia. The event will once again be based in Lakes Entrance and include many of the forest areas

around the communities of Bruthen, Nowa Nowa and Orbost that have become firm favourites with the competitors and spectators alike. Planning is very much at a preliminary stage at the moment as we working with the team at DELWP in East Gippsland on what roads are available to us after the devastating bushfires

that destroyed much of the region earlier alike. Stay informed over the coming months on what will be the biggest and best ever Alpine Rally of east Gippsland,

our website will be updated regularly with latest information. www.alpinerally.org.au
