In some sad news for the Wedderburn community, a family of seven has lost their home after a devastating fire on High Street late yesterday morning.

The blaze was reported around 11am, with the mother and one of the young children inside at the time. Thankfully, both were able to escape unharmed, while the husband and the other children were not home.

By the time firefighters arrived, the weatherboard home was already fully alight. Crews were unable to save the building, but their swift work stopped the flames from spreading to neighbouring properties.

In the wake of the tragedy, family and friends have quickly rallied around to make sure the family has somewhere to stay and the support they need during this difficult time.

Our thoughts are also with them

Around 60 locals gathered in Wedderburn this morning for an impromptu ANZAC Day dawn service after the official one was controversially cancelled due to the threat of rain.

Many felt strongly that a bit of rain shouldn’t stop remembrance. As one attendee put it, “Our diggers didn’t get to stay dry, they served in all conditions. Turning up today was the least we could do.”

A powerful, grassroots show of respect from a town that remembers what matters. 🌹

The Wedderburn & Korong Vale RSL has announced that tomorrow’s Dawn Service has been cancelled due to a forecast of rain. A lot of locals are gutted, leaving many shaking their heads, pointing out the obvious: they didn’t stop the war because it rained.

Our diggers served in mud, blood, and worse, without the luxury of dodging a bit of wet weather. They stood tall in trenches, soaked to the bone, sacrificing their time, comfort, and far too often their lives. A bit of drizzle shouldn’t be enough to cancel the chance to honour that.

In the heart of Korong Vale, just a stone’s throw north-east of Wedderburn, a scene straight out of a classic Western! The sky, painted with breathtaking swirls of vibrant, colourful clouds, casts a warm, golden glow over the town! 🌅

Two wonderful old buildings stand proud under this stunning sky, their weathered facades telling tales of a bygone era. One of the stores boasts the word "outfitter" in its description, adding an irresistible Wild West charm to the scene! 🤠
