21.01.2022 The COVID situation in Australia is changing rapidly and in particular NSW (Sydney and Greater Sydney). People are discouraged from traveling to RED or ORANGE ZONES or meeting up with people from these areas. People who live in or have visited the noted Red or Orange Zones in the last 14 days (whichever is later), cannot enter Victoria. Residents of nominated Local Government Areas along our borders can use a photo ID as an alternative to a permit in many circumstances. For ...more information, visit Information for cross border communities. https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/information-cross-border Some residents from all other states and territories will need a permit to get back into Victoria. Victoria's permit system is explained for travelers at https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/victorian-travel-permit-. These are safeguards by the Victorian Government and will have a big impact on many families during the holidays and we will continue to assess the situation as it evolves.

15.01.2022 Men’s Sheds provide a safe and friendly environment for men to gather and or work on meaningful projects, with the ultimate aim of improving the health and wellbeing of their members. Most of the men who are members of the Mens Shed Robinvale Euston are over the age of 65 and may have various physical co-morbidities. While many of them may have completed their First Aid Certificates, our local Mens Shed did not have a defibrillator. Being approximately 250 metres from the ...health service, it may take precious time to get to the shed and in some cases this can be too late if there is a cardiac incident. Recently our Mens Shed were successful in a funding application which has assisted with the purchasing of a defibrillator for the shed. On Tuesday 29th June 2021, Dr. Anne Webster MP Federal Member for Mallee visited our Mens Shed, chatting with members to congratulate them on their recent purchase and happily toured our shed.
