Did you know that marble from a quarry in Buchan, East Gippsland features in the interior of the Shrine of Remembrance? Getting those marble columns to Melbourne would’ve been a huge effort in the 1930s. Historic pix credit Museum Victoria #lovegippsland @rharris334 @kellazzaro https://t.co/9C6QT7MSk9

It's always great to catch up with schools from Gippsland when they visit Canberra. This morning I had the pleasure of meeting the talented students and teachers from Traralgon's Lavalla Catholic College. The choir, senior concert band and senior jazz ensemble were in town to compete at the Australian National Eisteddfod. They caught me by surprise by presenting me with my own monogrammed Lavalla top. Thank you for the thoughtful gift. Have a safe trip home and congratulations on representing your school with distinction. #lovegippsland #myvalley

Enjoyed learning about the benefits of new technology at Yarram Rifle Club, thanks to President Garry Kay. The Federal Government has provided $3300 toward an electronic target, which will ease the job of volunteers and help to recruit more club members. The electronic target submits the location of shots directly to a laptop and automatically allocates scores, giving members more time on the range and a more precise scoring system.
Well done to Yarram Rifle Club. Have fun with the new target. #lovegippsland
