On this day, 101 years ago, Australian’s were involved in the Battle of Epehy – a major attack on the Hindenburg Outpost Line - Germany’s last major defensive line on the Western Front. We thank all those brave men for their service. Lest we forget. #TYFYS @DVAAus @DeptDefence https://t.co/wFxOOtiMeY

Our ADF personnel are a skilled bunch. The team from Force Support Element Ten at Australia's main operating base in the Middle East have completed a huge task–rebuilding a @MercedesBenz Unimog from scratch, with no instructions. https://t.co/0y51HDu4nR #TYFYS @DeptDefence https://t.co/neIOHzuFL1

The Hope Restart Centre near Bairnsdale is taking shape with construction well underway on the new building that will change lives and help Gippslanders recover from addictions.
I secured $3.8 million from the Federal Government to help build the residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre.
The Hope Restart Centre will provide a much-needed and vital service to our community by providing rehabilitation services to those affected by drug and alcohol addiction.
This is a project that was started by volunteers and without them would not have been possible.
The centre will include 29 double rooms, courtyards, group-training rooms, a recreation and dining room. It’s great to see see local firm Brookers Builders carrying out the work.

Today we remember those who fought in the Battle of Epehy in 1918. This was an attack on the Hindenburg Outpost Line — Germany’s last major defensive line on the Western Front
As part of the British attack, the Australian Corps, commanded by Lieutenant General Sir John Monash, attacked and secured its objectives helping preparations for forthcoming attacks on the main Hindenburg Line positions. Australian casualties totalled around 1,300 killed and wounded. #TYFYS
