 The next chapter in the evolution of Wimmera cricket is set to hit off on Saturday with the start of the 2024/25 Horsham Cricket Association season.  The Dimboola and District Tennis Association 2024/25 season kicked off on Friday night, with reigning premier Brim travelling down the highway to tackle Dimboola on a magnificent night for tennis at Dimboola with no wind and warm conditions.  Rail enthusiasts and the general public alike were thrilled with the appearance of a passenger train on the branch line north of Dimboola for the first time in a quarter of a century.  Voters enrolled in Hindmarsh Shire Council should check the mail for their ballot packs.  Daylight Savings Time begins tomorrow morning (Sunday) at 2 a.m., meaning clocks need to be put forward one hour before going to bed tonight.  CFA crews are currently on scene attending to a shed fire in Cemetery Road, Dimboola, and a smoke warning has been issued for residents in the area.  CFA is urging Victorians to take extra precautions while burning-off ahead of the Fire Danger Period (FDP) to avoid penalties and unnecessary use of emergency services resources.  A passenger train will grace the rails north of Dimboola for the first time in twenty-five years next weekend.  One of the Wimmera’s favourite events for women in agriculture is returning in October.  After crowning the leading teams in the competition after the recent grand finals, the Wimmera hockey community gathered to acknowledge the leading individual achievements for the season.  Police are warning there will be zero tolerance for drink and drug driving over the AFL Grand Final long weekend.  As temperatures rise, snakes are emerging from a period of reduced activity during winter seeking food and mates. Snakes may be more visible during the warmer months, but it’s important to remember that they will generally avoid people. NoticeboardLOCAL BUSINESS ADVERT.
