13.01.2022 On the 11th hour of 11th day of the 11th month we take a minutes silence to remember. On 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. With their armies retreating and close to collapse, German leaders signed an Armistice, bringing to an end the First World War. From the summer of 1918, the five divisions of the Australian Corps had been at the forefront of the allied advance to victory. Beginning with their stunning succe...ss at the battle of Hamel in July, they helped to turn the tide of the war at Amiens in August, followed by the capture of Mont St Quentin and Pèronne, and the breaching of German defences at the Hindenburg Line in September. By early October the exhausted Australians were withdrawn from battle. They had achieved a fighting reputation out of proportion to their numbers, but victory had come at a heavy cost. They suffered almost 48,000 casualties during 1918, including more than 12,000 dead. In the four years of the war more than 330,000 Australians had served overseas, and more than 60,000 of them had died. The social effects of these losses cast a long shadow over the postwar decades.

12.01.2022 Update on missing 14 year old William. He was found this afternoon and tragically was not the outcome all had hoped for. Thank you to all who helped in the search. Our thoughts are with the Wall family during this difficult time.

12.01.2022 Now it’s our turn to help our local SES.

12.01.2022 This young boy has gone missing, please keep an eye out and contact Mooroolbark Police Station if you see him or have any information

10.01.2022 Millgrove Residents Action Group would like to take a moment to congratulate Cr Jim Child on his re-election and thank him for his continued support with MRAG projects, meetings and community support.

10.01.2022 Millgrove Spoonville Spoonville is a way of connecting the community, encouraging people of all ages to get creative and share with one another. We look forward to seeing the Millgrove Spoonville grow!... The general rules of Spoonville: - Place your spoony person during your exercise trip. - Make sure bits won’t blow off your spoony person (we don’t want to litter). - I’m afraid spoony people are not keen on dogs (dogs please stay back). - Come and see the spoony people but don’t stay long and no touching. - Make sure spoony people can take the rain (nail varnish is good for our faces). Legs and arms can be sticks from your garden. - Have fun being creative! #millgrove #spoonvilleinternational #spoonville #spoonvillemillgrove #creative #community #upperyarravalley

10.01.2022 William is still missing...

UPDATE 8:00AM 23/09 - William is still missing. Search will continue today with the hope of finding Wiilliam before the much colder weather expected from tonight.

UPDATE 8:50PM - Search still continues for missing boy William Wall UPDATE: Possible sighting in Warburton on the Aquaduct trail, but still not found. Please keep your eye out for him.
