Loving the fact that the local shops, namely the Venus Bay General Store and Tarwin Lower Foodworks are open late at the moment.  8pm in Venus Bay, I think.

Tarwin Lower Market Monday

The Tarwin Lower Market will be held on Monday morning, 4th January 2010 next to the Mechanics Institute Hall.

Venus Bay Weather Station

Neil Poole has set up a regular weather station in the Second Estate. It's been installed since October and shows current and historical data.

It can be accessed here and on the "Weather" link in the Links section of the left column of this site.

The map shows two weather stations (Neil is in the second estate) but there is only one due to the site picking up data from different reporting sites and rounding of location data.

Venus Bay - Leongatha Bus Service

A new bus service has started on Monday 28th September for a 12 month trial. The service will run on Monday, Friday and Sunday and is timed to meet the V/Line coach from Melbourne and Yarram, so there is now a public transport option to get to or from Venus Bay.

The route runs from Venus Bay Second Estate to Leongatha Station via Tarwin Lower and Koonwarra.

There are no designated bus stops along the route, so as long as you're standing along the route on time, just hail the driver to pick you up.

Timetable and route map can be downloded from here.

Of course, if the timetable doesn't suit, there's always South Gippsland Regional Taxis on 5662-4242

Rain Rain Don't Go Away

I'm loving all this rain. It's amazing how quickly the tanks refill and the grass regreens (is that a word?) with a bit of rain.
