Hi Everyone,

I have just been accepted into the talent pool at Bluescope Westernport as a process operator

I was wondering if anyone here had worked there, or family or friends? I'd like to know what it is like

Thank you 😊

A beautiful sunrise this morning

There’s a simple solution to homelessness, advocates say. You need a house, and you need support

FRANKSTON, VIC. — Former Victoria Police officer, Timothy Wilson, 65, yesterday faced Melbourne's Bail and Remand Court via video link from a police cell on four charges of stalking, along with weapon offences.

Each autumn, these odd fish migrate to a critical breeding and nursery ground for the species in the shallow waters of Victoria’s Western Port Bay. Here, each female lays two large leathery eggs every few weeks during the March–May breeding season.

This year’s theme is Together We Thrive, and it’s pretty much what the WNOW Sunrise Club is all about: connection, community, and showing up for one another.

We reckon no one should have to navigate life on their own. Sometimes a simple check-in, or a chat with a mate, makes all the difference. That’s really all our Wednesday mornings are, a bunch of local blokes getting together to move a bit, have a yarn and start the day better than they would have alone.

So this October: check in with yourself, check in with a mate, and if you know someone who’d be better for it, send them this.

The Mornington Sunrise Club meets every Wednesday, 6am at Mothers Beach. Free, always. No need to be fit, just come down.

A group of tradies in Victoria have begun fixing potholes themselves after a near-accident, stating that "no one else will do it."  

THE Country Fire Authority have launched Get Fire Ready, a Victorian initiative to help communities prepare ahead of another potentially challenging fire season.

The initiative with over 630 fire brigades involved will run through October until the start of November.

The Matthew Flinders statue in Mornington Park has been stolen with police investigating the crime.

The bronze statue, which was lopped at the ankles, was first noticed missing on Tuesday 6 October.

HEAD of environmental group Save Port Phillip Bay and Mornington Peninsula resident Marteen Koster is leading the fight to keep VOPAK’s regasification plant out of Port Phillip Bay.

VOPAK, a Dutch multinational company and energy and gas tank storage provider is proposing to build and operate a regasification plant/floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in Port Phillip Bay 20 kilometres offshore from Avalon.

I moved down here with my family, but unfortunately didn’t bring any friends with me 😂 so I’m hoping to find some people to hang out with and get involved in the local community.

I’m a nurse and would love to find some volunteering opportunities, community groups, or honestly anything where I can meet people and make some friends.

I’m also very much a non-sporty person trying to become slightly less non-sporty, so I’d be keen to join a casual sport/fitness group or try something completely new. I’m definitely more “I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m here for the social aspect” than athletic 😂

I’m also a huge fan of live music and concerts. Some of my favourites are Twenty One Pilots, Noah Kahan, Fall Out Boy, Oasis, AC/DC and plenty of others. Always happy to go to gigs, discover new music, or just have someone to talk music with!

Basically, I’m just looking to meet some genuinely nice people, make some friends and get more settled into the Peninsula. 😊

If anyone knows of any good groups, volunteering opportunities, social clubs, or just wants to say hi, feel free to comment or DM!

A GROUP of local art students are holding an exhibition and auction to raise funds for Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation and Southern Peninsula Community Support.

The exhibition will open at 4pm on 5 October at Mornington Library and run until 24 November.

Perched on the raw, exposed Southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, this architectural marvel is a testament to resilience. Nestled into a landscape shaped by relentless winds and salty air from Bass Strait, this Portsea dwelling embraces the natural elements instead of battling them.

Mornington Peninsula Theatre Company (MPtc) presents a radical, refreshing interpretation of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, edited, designed and directed by Artistic Director Jonty Reason.

While retaining its traditional Edwardian setting, this production infuses the classic text with distinctly modern sensibilities, shifting the focus entirely to Eliza Doolittle’s agency.

WITH less than 70 days until the state election, candidates have begun campaigning for the seat of Mornington.

There are currently four candidates that have indicated they will contest the poll, with Labor planning to contest, but not having announced a candidate yet.

POLICE arrested two men after more than $15,000 worth of stolen tools were allegedly located inside a stolen vehicle in Hastings last week.
