in the bushes behind the church. When the little girl returns,

her mother asks her if she threw up. “Yes,” the girl says.

“But I didn’t have to go all the way around the back. There was a box near the front door that said

Omeo and District Garden Club

is planning a day bus trip over to Ovens on Wednesday 26th May.

We will visit the “Pumpkin Seed” place and a plant nursery.

Take your own lunch, morning tea will be provided. The cost of the trip for non members

is $20 which includes club membership.

Those interested should contact Sandi at the Caravan Park on 51591351

or Yvonne on 0411 128 285.

Day Avenue water main upgrade

On-site work has commenced on an East Gippsland Water project to replace 400 metres of an ageing main

supply pipeline along Day Avenue in Omeo. The section of water main runs along the west side of Day

Avenue from the Bilton Street intersection to the Old Omeo Highway intersection. Increasing the replacement

main size will help ensure the reliability and efficiency of the water supply network, well into the future.

Traffic management measures have been implemented, such as reduced speed signs, for the safety of East

Gippsland Water staff and contractors. Extra time should be allocated when travelling on Day Avenue until

July, when the project is due to be completed. Every effort will be made to minimise inconvenience to

residents and travellers while the upgrade work is underway. Anyone with enquiries about the upgrade

can contact East Gippsland Water’s Bairnsdale office on 1800 671 841.

Open Monday to Saturday.

and skin. Do you care what goes on your head?
