Blaze Aid volunteers are hard at work assisting with bushfire recovery across regional Victoria. Joining us from a base at the Goomalibee Fire Station, near Benalla in North East Victoria is Stuart Opie.

The Gardiner Foundation has launched a short survey and a series of community consultations in Victorian Dairy Regions, as part of a Housing and Accommodation Initiative. 

This year's installment of the Grounded Festival will head to South West Victoria stopping at a Yan Yan Gurt West Farm.
