The Macedon Ranges Sustainable Living Festival is located in the scenic Macedon Ranges, and is one of the region’s most popular and important events. The festival attracts strong support from businesses, community groups and government representatives and is hosted by the local NFP Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group (MRSG). The festival is now in its 8th year, and showcases ideas, products, and practical solutions to inspire visitors to enjoy living more sustainably.
For the first time the Macedon Ranges Sustainable Living Festival will be run in conjunction with the Woodend Community Farmers’ Market, another established initiative of the MRSG. This well-loved event draws patrons from all over the Macedon Ranges and beyond, who come to revel in the relaxed country atmosphere and stock their larders with mountains of high quality, local produce.

The FireReady App for smart phones and tablets has been updated and renamed VicEmergency: you MUST update it to continue to get warnings and information. The old FireReady App has been turned off.

If you don’t like the new app, Emergency AUS is a good alternative, and is national.
Known to many as ’The Timber Benders’, these two doers of good were taken from us as a result of a road accident on Wednesday evening. In attempting to avoid a ’roo their car left the road and hit a tree on the Daylesford-Malmsbury Road, Denver. So simple, so tragic. Words fail.
Update 12th December: Fire restrictions are now in force for Hepburn and Mt. Alexander Shires: http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/fire-restrictions-map/
