When we are not proud of ourselves, we will instinctively find fault in others as a form of self therapy. While this may be soothing, it will never fill
the void left by an unfulfilled life and
relationships.

The Eastern Yellow Robin had both pictures replaced with much higher quality local images this week. By slowly updating lesser quality images with higher quality images, we are able to continue to refine the resource. After confirmation by local bird expert Robert (Bob) Tate, we were also able to include a Yellow-Rumped Thornbill. The Black-shouldered Kite had one public domain image replaced with a new image by local Yea photographer Robert Gardiner. The new image compliments our first Black-shouldered Kite image which was submitted by co-author of the 'Quick Identification Local Birds' eBook Robert (Bob) Tate.
EASTERN YELLOW ROBIN Found in south eastern Australia from Queensland to South Austral ia (except Tasmania). It grows to 16 cm and feeds on small spiders, insects and other arthropods. It prefers dry bushlands, woodlands, forests and rainforests. Family: Petroicidae Genus: Eopsaltria Species: E. australis

We love the idea of a
new Museum at
Eildon. The long-term
potential is great and
the creation of a new
permanent District
Tourism Attraction is a
rarity today.
Easy rolling for a short distance.

While a local event based
tourism platform is vital,
having tourism attractions
that attract tourisms all year
is also desirable for small
communities. The Eildon
Museum is a great example
of how a community can
come together and create a
whole new local attraction.

Having the museum
at Eildon has the
potential to draw
people through other
areas of our district.
This is a win for
everyone.

He avoided using his first name, preferring to go by Louis. He arrived in Australia in February of 1865 as a mature artist and almost immediately began work as a photographer in Bourke Street. A year later he returned to his love - painting. Louis was awarded with numerous accolades and took a silver in the prestigious Philadelphia Exhibition in 1876. In 1880 and 1886 he won Gold Medals at exhibitions held in Melbourne. He was strongly influenced by the outdoor painting movement popularised in Europe and was known for his causal painting manner and his ability to visualise beauty in mundane scenes. Buvelot died in May of 1888 childless. His wife died in 1902. Title: A Billabong on the Goulburn (1884)

The spray falls much like heavy rain, thereby reducing the possibility of river bank erosion.

DON'T MESS WITH 'OLD' PEOPLEDON'T MESS WITH 'OLD' PEOPLEDON'T MESS WITH 'OLD' PEOPLE
Harold was an old man. He was sick and in the hospital. There was one nurse that just drove him crazy. Every time she came in, she would talk to him like he was a
little child. She would say in a patronizing tone of voice,
’And how are we doing this morning?', or 'Are we ready for a bath?', or
'Are we hungry?'
Old Harold had had enough of this particular nurse. One day, at breakfast, Old Harold took the apple juice off the tray and put it in his bed side stand. Next, he was given a urine bottle to fill for testing. So you know where the
juice went!
The nurse came in a little later, picked up the urine bottle and looked at it. 'My, it seems we are a little
cloudy today. '
At this, Old Harold snatched the bottle out of her hand, popped off the top, and drank it down, saying, 'Well, I'll
run it through again. Maybe I can filter it better this time.'
The nurse fainted! Old Harold just smiled!
