Happening in Horsham

Western Highway was a mess this morning after a truck managed to flip itself between Horsham and Pimpinio, shutting the whole thing down in both directions. 🚛💥

Emergency crews rushed to the scene near Dahlen Quarry Road at Pimpinio, directing traffic away from the crash site and keeping things under control. Motorists were told to steer clear and detour via the Henty Highway or Blue Ribbon Road.

Sending thoughts to the driver involved – hoping they’re doing okay after such a scary incident! ❤️

Indiana Fever recently locked in Horsham’s own Chloe Bibby on a rest-of-season contract, giving the WNBA side a boost of Aussie firepower!

The country Victorian forward wasted no time making her mark in her first two games!

In her first game, she dropped 10 points in just 13 minutes – with a pair of clutch threes – to help sink the Phoenix Mercury 107-101.

That came right after her debut against Chicago, where she racked up eight points in 11 minutes during a 93-78 win!

From Horsham courts to the biggest stage in women’s basketball, Bibby’s proving she belongs.

What started as a hike in the Grampians turned into a full-blown rescue mission near Laharum yesterday – and a bloody impressive one at that! 🏞️

An injured hiker was stranded and in strife, but thanks to the Stawell and Horsham SES, Victoria Police, and Ambulance Victoria, help was on the way quick-smart! 👷🏻‍♂️

Helicopter Emergency Medical Service swooped in and located the patient, winching them to safety from rugged bushland. Meanwhile, SES guided the rest of the group safely back down! ⚕️

Bit of suspense, a lotta teamwork – and a reminder of just how lucky we are to have these legends out there every day, ready to jump in at a moment’s notice! 🚁

How good is this?! 😍

Horsham’s own Chloe Bibby is making serious waves in the WNBA – becoming the first player since 2008 to nail multiple three-pointers in each of her first three games with Indiana Fever! 🔥

Big-time stuff from a country girl who’s clearly not here to muck around. From shooting hoops in Horsham to lighting it up on one of the world’s biggest basketball stages – reppin’ the region in style! 💪

Keep an eye on her – this is just the beginning! 🏀

Horsham has copped a cheeky whack from Sh*t Towns of Australia, landing itself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons once again! 😮

Horsham’s greatest cultural contribution is the ‘florrie’, a flat, crumbed piece of horse steak wrapped around a slice of ham and a bit of cheese. This innovative combination of horse and ham is actually how Horsham got its name. Coincidentally, Horsham is also Old English for ‘whores’ home’, an unkind yet not entirely inaccurate label.

Aside from florries and dicks, Horshamites’ favourite thing to shove in their gobs is crack pipes. In fact, the city’s Second Amendment guarantees all of its citizens the right to carry a crystal pistol at all times. The only people in Horsham not munted on m**h are those who are both underage and pregnant, who take it easy by sticking to binge drinking.

Horsham is a hub of intellectual pursuits like gossip, bigotry and fighting with baseball bats. Its most educated residents are young women with diplomas in hairdressing, who harbour lofty dreams of moving to somewhere fancier like Shepparton and making it on OnlyFans. These ambitious overachievers are the exception, however—most Horshamers are just happy if their welfare cheque covers their ice bill.

Nearby Dadswells Bridge is home to the Giant Koala, a gigantic red-eyed, hairy-eared replica of the only creature with more chlamydia than a local youth. The Giant Koala is the perfect mascot for the area: awkward, disfigured and looking like it’s been up for three days straight on a JobSeeker-funded m**h binge.

Frustrating scenes in Horsham – Moe's Mexican Bar & Grill was vandalised sometime between 3 AM and midday on Sunday.

Word is, other local businesses copped it too. This isn’t a one-off – it’s getting out of control. And for small businesses already doing it tough, it’s a bloody kick in the guts.

Moe's is calling on anyone with CCTV in the area to check their footage from that time. Even the smallest detail could help.

If you saw som**hing, say som**hing. Don’t let grubs like this keep getting away with it.

Some muppet has gone and smashed a window at Bonnie & Clyde’s Pizzeria in Horsham just after midnight last night, with the crew hoping someone nearby might’ve caught them on CCTV.

In what sounds like a plotline ripped straight from a dodgy soap opera, a 30-year-old Western Australian bloke has been charged after allegedly pulling the emotional scam of the year.

According to coppers in Horsham, he faked cancer to fleece his own family out of more than a million bucks. Yeah. Cancer. The lowest of the low.

They reckon the con started with the sneaky sale of a family home in Alfredton – all behind his partner’s back.

Instead of fessing up, the cheeky bu**er allegedly told the fam he’d invested the lot and would soon be raking in a $2 million payday. Spoiler: there was no investment. No two mil. Just more lies.

When the imaginary millions didn’t materialise, he allegedly doubled down – whipping up a tale about having cancer and being the victim of a separate fraud.

And to keep the circus spinning? He faked lawyer emails. Yep. Created two dodgy legal personas to make it all sound legit and managed to milk another $1.2 million from his nearest and dearest. That’s not just lying, mate – that’s PhD-level manipulation.

Oh – and just for kicks, he also allegedly forged docs to score himself a $69k car from a Horsham dealership. Can’t be out there scamming in a rust bucket, right?

The long con finally caught up with him when he was arrested in Ararat, and now detectives have slapped him with 28 charges – including 10 counts of obtaining property by deception and 13 counts of making false documents.

He’ll front Horsham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

The Victoria Police Bomb Squad was called out to a suspicious device next to the Wimmera Bridge in Plant Street, Horsham, earlier today! 💣

It was a pretty nerve-wracking scene, with cops cordoning off the area while the Bomb Response Unit took care of business! 👮🏻‍♂️

By 4:45 pm, they’d safely diffused the device. The investigation is still ongoing, but talk about a tense situation! 🤯

Horsham Police have confirmed they are investigating a suspicious grass fire that broke out on the afternoon of 13 April. Emergency services rushed to the scene between Hickson Street and Riley Road to contain the blaze before it could spread further. 🔥

Investigators believe the fire was deliberately lit and are urging anyone who witnessed anything unusual in the area, or who may have information that could assist, to come forward. Police are hoping the public’s help will be crucial in identifying those responsible. 😠
