22.01.2022 REVISED EDITION! We realised after sending out our latest version that one of our candidate's answers hadn't been included by mistake. We've now re-issued the edition both electronically and in print with all the candidates responses that were sent to us and apologise for any inconvenience caused.... Please click below to see the updated edition.
20.01.2022 Mitch Cook is currently on his 14th lap of Tawonga Gap, with seven more to follow in his goal to ride the vertical height of Mt Everest, as well as two additional laps to take him to 10,000 vertical metres - all to raise money for men’s health, namely mental health. He’s been riding since 4am this morning, with around 5.5 hours to go! It is a huge effort, and one that deserves all of our support! If you have a few dollars to spare, please donate at https://au.movember.com/mospace/14259797.
19.01.2022 The FINAL FREE webinar donated to bushfire affected shires in Victoria by Steve Biddulph and his team is happening tomorrow night! Covering both boys and girls from babyhood to adult, understand your parenting style and how to balance it up; how kids grow to independence; what discipline really is; and slowing down your family to build mental health. Hilarious, deeply moving, and immensely practical at the same time.... Tickets will be sent to your email address. The link will be open for 3 hours on the 19th of November from 8pm-11pm BOOKING LINK: https://www.trybooking.com/BLDRN Bookings are essential with 1000 tickets available (540 already booked)
15.01.2022 What an absolute champion! Yesterday, local cyclist Mitch Cook completed the most gruelling ride of his life, completing not only the equivalent vertical height of Mount Everest, but adding an additional 2 laps of the Tawonga Gap road to take the total to 10,000 vertical metres, and 21 laps in total. Pictured is his penultimate climb (with only one more lap to go), the relieved rider with his mum and dad, and post champagne shower courtesy of mum, Tina.... So why would Mitch take on such a mammoth physical challenge you ask? All to raise money and awareness for men's health, in particular mental health, after feeling the devastating impact mental health has had on the local community this year. That's a big achievement from an even bigger hearted bloke if we've ever seen one. At present, the total raised is over $8.5K, with more to come - and there's still time to donate here. https://au.movember.com/mospace/14259797
15.01.2022 To all our Snowsport and Mountain Adventure Enthusiasts, friends and family of Australian alpine ski racing legend, Steve Lee, a fundraising initiative, #steveleefightback, has recently been launched after the three-time Winter Olympian suffered a debilitating stroke on 6th September this year. To make a donation, please visit: https://asf.org.au/commu/snow-australia/steve-lee-fightback You can read our whole article in our latest edition here https://bit.ly/3kzzcVe... Read Rachael Oakes-Ash’s (aka Miss Snow It All) remarkable story about Steve Lee here: www.snowsbest.com/steve-lee-stroke-help/ This article prepared by the team at Falls Creek Resort Management and we are sending our strength and support to Steve and his family on his road to recovery. To aid in this, our local Falls Creek Foodworks have added Steve Lee to their 'Spirit of the Community' scheme (Number 1096), which is now active in the Mount Beauty and Falls Creek stores. The Spirit of the Community scheme allows shoppers to donate their points to a community organisation or cause of their choice. Every quarter those points are converted to cash and donated proportionally. "We encourage our shoppers to allocate their points to Steve’s Fund. Quote number '1096' at the register when shopping at Falls Creek and Mount Beauty Foodworks. "Steve Lee and his family hold a special place in the heart of the Falls Creek Community. We have added Steve to our list of Spirit of the Community recipients so we can help to contribute to his road to recovery. It gives us great pleasure to give back into the communities that we live and work in. "We started our ‘Spirit of the Community’ scheme as our way of thanking our customers for shopping with us. Over the years we have donated over $500,000 to numerous clubs, organisations, schools and individuals. We send our best wishes to Steve and his family. Karen & Nick Cook
10.01.2022 Who's planning a visit to Falls Creek this summer? With the resort open again to regional Victorian visitors, you'll find plenty of info about visiting Falls in our latest edition - snow or no snow! https://bit.ly/32CwMPk... Matt Hull
08.01.2022 Something a little different for the front cover this week as we share some fantastic photos of our local birdlife captured by Ern Reeders - including one of our resident duck families. It's a common occurrence in Mount Beauty to find one car (or three!) at a complete standstill while they wait for a duck family to cross the road, and while it may slow you down a little, it's a testament to the caring nature of our whole community who consistently make the effort to let them ...cross safely. Even if you don't love the ducks, you can't argue that they're just one of the many small details that adds character to our valley and makes it the wonderful place that it is. While we're looking forward to being able to travel a little further than regional Victoria in the near future, we're sure we're not alone when we say there's no where else we'd rather be hibernating during a global pandemic than the beautiful Kiewa Valley. In our latest edition, a major fundraiser for Falls Creek legend, Steve Lee, delve into a spot of local birdwatching and learn what species to look out for, get to know our two new doctors in Mount Beauty, and plenty of local news and updates to top it off!
