This is a specific popping variety, it’s very dry compared to sweet corn. If you were to try and eat this, it’ll probably break your teeth. : Eden Hynninen

13.01.2022 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE BRIDGEWATER POST OFFICE The town of Bridgewater is celebrating its one year anniversary of saving the post office. The previous owners had reduced its hours and were selling it in August last year when a group of eleven residents bought the license.... The Post Office now employs three young local staff to help run the store during business hours from Monday to Friday. Shannon Brown is the licensee of the Post Office and says the alternative would have meant travelling to neighbouring towns for the service. "The alternative would have been the doors closed and probably having to go to our neighbouring towns to get that postal service which is not ideal and it means some of the older people in our community would have had to travel just to send mail or get a stamp," she says.

13.01.2022 ONE STEP CLOSER TO HER DREAM JOB When Laila Hashimi was a child in Afghanistan, her dream was to become a police woman. But that dream would have been hard to achieve in her home country. ... When I was in Afghanistan I feel that I’m not safe, because I can see every day there is attacks, Laila said. The Taliban and Daesh doesn’t want women to be studying and working the same as men, but in Australia men and women are the same, they’re equal. Laila sought asylum from Afghanistan in 2014, and lived in three different Australian cities before coming to Bendigo last year. And last month she gained her Australian citizenship, a huge achievement that brought her one step closer to achieving her dream job. Australia really needs someone like me, a police woman with a different culture and language, Laila said. If I am a police woman I will also be an interpreter in Dari and Farsi. "But first I am working on my English and language, because English is my second language."
