07.01.2022 At 11am the Shrine Guard will lay a wreath in the heart of our Shrine, the Sanctuary, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in ...Europe, Victory in Europe Day (VE Day), and Krithia Day. RSL Victoria and Friends of the Odd Bods Association hold an annual service on 8 May to commemorate VE Day. On 7 May 1945, German High Command authorised the signing of an unconditional surrender on all fronts. The surrender took effect at midnight on 89th May 1945, with 8th May declared VE Day. Australians joined wholeheartedly in the celebrations. Australian prisoners of war in European camps were liberated and Australian sailors and aircrew began to return home. But the celebrations were tempered by the knowledge that the war in the Pacific was still to be won. Pictured above is 6th Australian Division in But, New Guinea, participating in a thanksgiving service to celebrate the victory in Europe. This service occurred on the eve of amphibious operations which pushed the Japanese military out of their Wewak, New Guinea, base. Today, we also commemorate the Second Battle of Krithia, 68 May 1915, fought on the Gallipoli peninsula. The Australian 2nd Brigade (comprising the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Battalions) were released from ANZAC Cove to reinforce the British and French troops that were making an assault from Cape Helles. The 6th Battalion Association hold an annual service on 8th May commemorating this action. While our physical doors are closed, we remain a living monument: a building with a soul. Throughout our closure period, we will continue to honour the service and sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Victorians and livestreamed wreath layings on the days where services would have taken place.

06.01.2022 More Residential Fire Safety tips...stay safe at home.

05.01.2022 Are you planning on doing a burn-off soon? If your planned burn-off is more than two hours away, you can register it at https://firepermits.vic.gov.au/notify If... your planned burn-off is less than two hours away, you can register it on 1800 668 511 Remember to notify neighbours of your burn-off as well. Registering is important as it prevents an unnecessary fire services response. Fires reported to triple zero are cross-checked against registered burn-offs and, if your burn-off is not registered, the fire services may be notified.

04.01.2022 Fire restrictions starting to come into force in neighbouring towns. Last year there was a little bit of confusion so we just wanted to clarify. Clunes falls under the Central District as part of Hepburn Shire. At this stage restrictions have not yet been announced but we imagine they will be soon. You can still burn off if you are in the central district at the moment but please make sure you register your burn off. ... Once restrictions are announced, we will let you know. More info regarding fire danger periods and the full list of shires can be found here https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au//restrictions-during-the-fire-d
