. @AustralianArmy soldiers have put on a show for Temora residents during two training exercises, with assistance from the @AusAirForce's C-130J Hercules aircraft. Soldiers parachuted into paddocks & conducted a patrol back to a rendezvous point for extraction. #YourADF https://t.co/yTAUnKiA62

Today marks the beginning of National Families Week and I am proud of the support the Government provides to veterans’ families.
Families play a critical role in supporting veterans and the 2021–22 Budget invests $5.1 million to expand the Family Support Package.
This will allow families greater choice in how they use services provided through the program and will include access to skills-based supports to help families manage independently in the future, such as financial literacy and management programs, parenting and personal relationships programs and grief and loss support.
Families will also have greater choice and flexibility by removing limits on each service category of childcare, counselling and household services, so families can choose the support they need.

You don’t have to be mad but it probably helps!
Eight degrees with sleeting rain and a wind chill making it feel like the Antarctic for the Lakes Entrance parkrun.
Thanks to the hardy team of volunteers who made sure the run went ahead - we’re all winners today for just getting out of bed!

I made it home from Canberra this evening in time to take Marlo for a chilly beach walk at Lake Tyers.
The recent rain has certainly given the lake levels a boost but it’s nowhere near opening (from my not so scientific assessment).
The estuary looks beautiful from the air and the ground... just a special part of Gippsland to visit in any weather.
Why not plan your next weekend away and take a break at your favourite spot in our region?
