Also investigate the hours of operation, including holidays and weekends. Make sure the facility will be open at the times you intend to train.

Layout and feel If you feel a little anxious about visiting a gym, you’re not alone. Embarrassment has been identified as one of the major barriers to exercise. It’s important to feel comfortable in the centre you intend to join.

HOW TO CHOOSE A GYM Choosing a gym can be difficult. Here’s how to sort through the contracts, classes and confusion.

Once you’ve made the decision to join a gym, you might be bursting with enthusiasm to get started.

But take the time to weigh up your options. Choosing the right gym will maximise the physical and mental rewards that come from regular exercise. Who knows, you might even meet some new people and have some fun!

Location and hours The rule of location, location, location certainly applies when you are deciding which fitness centre to join. A gym needs to be accessible and convenient if you are going to get value from your membership. Ideally, it should be within

Look at the type of people who are already members, and see if you would be willing to puff and sweat alongside them. Check to see if staff are friendly and helpful.

In addition, a pet will allow you to have a sense of security.

The pet will be able to notify you if a burglar is about to enter the house. Dogs can also offer security when you are out walking alone at night. Pets of nearly any kind will make some type of noise when they see a stranger, so most any pet is good for a sense of security.

WHY HAVE A PET? Pets can be many things to their owners, and there are many great reasons to have a pet. The most common reason for a person to have a pet is for companionship. Pets make wonderful companions, because they are generally loyal and affectionate. However, there are many other reasons to get a pet.

Some pets can be kept as hobbies. You can get a pet that is a show animal, and make a hobby of caring for it, training it, and taking it to different dog shows. This is a great way to spend your time, and can be very beneficial to your pet as well.

Another reason you should have a pet is for your physical and mental health. It is estimated that people with pets, particularly dogs, live up to ten years longer than people who never have a pet. This is because when you have a pet you are much happier than when you do not have a pet. Having a pet allows you to experience less stress, which can play a major role in poor health. You will also find that you have an excuse to get up and about and get some exercise when you have a pet, particularly a dog. The animal needs exercise also, and you can enjoy the time together.

Large gyms can be a little impersonal, and have a ‘fish bowl’ feel. Some people seek out this kind of gym; others prefer a smaller centre that caters for overweight or inexperienced members. For example, some gyms are women only, or have rooms set aside just for women or personal training.

Getting a pet can also be a step toward personal growth.

You can learn to share love, give affection and attention to a pet, which can in turn teach you much about your own

Finally, pets are great for children because they are a huge responsibility. You can get a pet for your child to teach them responsibility. They must be put in charge of caring for the pet, such as taking it for walks, making sure it is let outside to use the bathroom, feeding it, and bathing it. This will teach them how to care for another living being, which will prepare them for parenthood in the future. It will also teach them about having responsibility that must be met in order for rewards to occur.

All in all, having a pet is one of the best things you can do for you and your family. It is recommended that everyone has a pet. Even if you do not get a dog or cat due to space or time commitment issues, there are other pets you can have that make great hobbies or interesting conversation pieces, such as snakes or fish.

How do I buy the right machine?

If you are considering purchasing a coffee machine here are a few tips to hopefully help you to make the right choice.

Firstly, purchase your machine from someone in the coffee industry who knows what they are talking about and can give you the correct advice.

If you speak to someone who is an expert in the coffee industry, they will be able to answer any questions you may have, and you should ask lots of questions!

At The Bean Scene we will happily answer any questions you may have and make your choice of machine as simple as possible. There is a huge range of machines available on the market these days, making choosing a machine sometimes a little confusing, like manual vs automatic, volumetric vs lever and so on. Look for brands such as Bezzera, Expobar, Simonelli, Giotto, Rancilio to name a few. These are commercial brand machines, extremely well made, reliable and will last you for many years. Quality machines are mainly manually operated. They are very easy to use and in most cases quicker than an automatic machine. Manually operated machines are very low maintenance, and cleaning is simple and quick.

The advantage of buying from a reputable person in the coffee industry is the backup service and expert after sales advice when you need it, from choosing beans, to maintaining your equipment etc, which is rare in this day and age. At The Bean Scene in Cinema Arcade Warragul, we pride ourselves on our customer service, industry knowledge, and our after sales service is second to none. Our staff are available to assist you with your purchase of a machine from our range in store. The last thing you

Ph: 5622 6777 Fax 5622 0266 For as long as most of us can remember owning our own home has been the great Australian dream and with some good financial know how, you can own your piece of Australia all that bit sooner.

At the end of the day when it comes to owning your new home sooner, it is not rocket science - pay more than you have to and you will own your home sooner, however there are some other financial tips which can also help you achieve this goal.

When choosing a machine, consider what you need and expect from a machine.

1. Do you entertain a lot?

2. How many coffee’s do you need to make at a time?

3. Will you be making mainly milk based coffee’s?

4. How much bench space and height do you have?

5. Measure up first 6. Do you need to have a hot water arm for making long blacks or tea?

Bezzera Gea 7. Your budget.

When deciding to purchase a machine you should also at some time, plan to purchase a grinder, either at the same time or in the future. The grinder is every bit as important as the coffee machine. A grinder gives you control over the grind of the coffee which directly impacts on the taste and flavour of the coffee. It allows you to keep your coffee fresher as you can then buy your coffee as whole beans and grind as required.

Nothing smells better than fresh coffee!

All machines purchased at The Bean Scene are covered by a 12 month warranty.

We also offer ongoing service of your machine.

Now you can have quality coffee at home……anytime!

What a beautiful start to October!

Everybody is so energetic – vegies are being planted like crazy........ don’t forget to stagger plantings so you lengthen your harvest time.

Enjoy!

Guess what has reared their ugly heads again? – Yup, the Black Peach Aphid, those horrible little lice (yes, lice) that devastate our peaches and other stone fruit by sucking their blood (sap), excreting ‘honeydew’, infesting the roots and spreading both viral and fungal diseases to other plants. Yuk! Some say that after they have slurped the juicy young flower buds and leaves they move to your veggie garden an, where in warm climates this can happen all year. At least here in a chilly town they pupate in bark crevices and the base of the trees. Those of us who have met them know the look – dark coloured, clustered together on part of the tree. Double Yuk! So what do we do about this very serious pest? Prevention is a good place to begin. Keep weeds away as they often host aphids and disease.

Encourage birds and predator insects to your garden. We have noticed Jenny wrens love our roses.

Perhaps they like the aphids? ......

Nasturtiums, tansy, lavender, garlic, wormwood, marigolds are just some of the herbs that were mentioned.... so maybe a blend of lots of different herbs and flowers and a few natives as a border to an orchard would

work well, remembering not to interfere with the ‘feeder roots’ at the trees drip line.

Keep your tress reasonably fed and watered and don’t ‘blow them out with too much tucker’ – they will get soft and more open to attack.

Your nurseryman will help you with a good fertilizer program, but manure and organic material make wonderful mulch.

As for cure – WOW! To break it down, I guess there are 2 choices to be made- systemic or contact?

Chemical or natural? Toxicity to other insects. (Not to mention us?)

An oil spray in winters very beneficial. There are lots of these eco-oil products now. They are contact sprays (must cover insect to kill). You could try one of them but watch you don’t spray a predator insect by mistake.

For a systemic (keeps killing), you might try confidor; it is one of the newer safer sprays. Apply after the bees have gone to bed. As hard as it is read the directions, or talk to your nursery person.

Good luck! Let us know how you go with the little beasties. I’m off to plant some prize tomatoes!

Happy gardening Cheers, Nancy

Another great positive when considering paying off your home sooner, is that once you have your first property (or even part of) under your belt the opportunities for more investments may continue to blossom, with each property potentially giving you greater leveraging power and opportunity to invest further.

Here are a few tips to help you cut years off your mortgage.

• Most mortgages are structured so that you pay off most of the interest in the early years. So if you’re able to make larger repayments in the earlier years of your loan, you’ll save a bundle on interest.

• Unless you have an interest-only loan, you usually pay both principal and interest on a home loan. On a typical 30 year mortgage, anything extra you pay in the first 5 to 8 years (when most of your payments go towards paying off the interest) will cut your interest bill and shorten the life of your loan.

• Assuming you have a mortgage that lets you pay extra, you should pay more and pay often. The interest charged on a $300,000 home loan at a rate of 7% over 30 years with monthly repayments is over $418,500. By paying off an additional $50 a month, you’ll reduce the interest bill by $38,000 and your loan term by 2 years and 3 months.

However, check if your loan allows you

to make extra payments, and if there are any fees for doing so. You may not be allowed to make extra payments on home loans with fixed rates. Even if you can make extra payments, there may be a limit on how much you can repay over the life of the loan. Find out if there are any fees or penalties if you pay off the loan early. Obviously, your Club consultant can assist with any of these enquiries.

• Every good plan should start with a budget and once this has been established, the simplest way to slice one third off the life of a 30 year loan is by changing the way money gets managed.

To really knock 10 years off the life of a mortgage and save thousands in interest you could consider cancelling all ordinary savings accounts and streamline everything directly into your mortgage (salary credit). The mortgage can be used as a transactional account as well. ATM cards, credit cards and even cheque books can be linked to a mortgage account.

By doing this all the additional funds deposited from each and every pay cycle start to reduce the interest being charged on the home loan account. Interest is being charged daily on the home loan, so the lower the balance the lower the interest charged at the end of a month.

Rather than allow your mortgage to reduce at a principal and interest rate designed by your lender, which suits them, restructuring a mortgage to live out of allows the borrower to make principal repayments that include the entire pay packet. Your money sits in redraw so you can pull it out to cover your living expenses.

• Choosing a loan with a 100% Offset feature, can save you on your interest paid over the life time of home loan.

Similar to our previous tip, this account will reduce the interest being charged on your home loan.

As the weather warms up this month there is a lot more things that can be prepared for or planted. Unless you are wanting a crop for preserving, such as tomatoes, smaller plantings at regular intervals is the best option.

This will ensure a more consistent supply and spare you from a glut of produce.

1st WEEK • Sow seed of carrots and parsnips, lettuce, peas and spring onions.

• Carrot seed is very fine and is loved by ants. To stop ants pirating seed mix it with some pepper before you sow it. Mixing some sand with the seed will make it easier to sow the seed more thinly.

• Plant seedlings of cabbage, silver beet, lettuce • Prepare a spot for your first sowing of beans.

2nd WEEK • Sow seed of pumpkins, zucchinis and cucumbers in small pots or the bottom tray of an egg carton. Put one or two seed per pot or space. Keep the pots in a warm, sheltered spot outside and protect from possible late frosts. This will give you a head start when the weather is a bit warmer.

Pumpkins, etc. resent any root disturbance so transplant carefully.

If you are using egg cartons just separate and plant the whole cell. As with all seed/seedlings make sure that the soil in the containers does not dry out. Tomatoes and capsicums can also be raised the same way. They can be sown singly in egg cartons or a number of seeds in a larger pot.

Sow the seed so the plants will be about 25mm (1”) apart when they grow.

Just sow the seed on top of the soil mix and cover with a thin layer of mix. Press down with your hand and then give a soft watering. Tomatoes

are also very easy to grow from cuttings. We will get to that in later notes.

• Prepare places for planting tomatoes.

3rd WEEK •Sow seed of peas and lettuce. Bush beans, sweet corn can be sown in warmer areas of Gippsland.

• Plant early varieties of tomato if all danger of frost has passed.

4th WEEK • Plant seed potatoes.

‘Certified’ seed potatoes are best as they are certified to be free of diseases that affect potatoes. If you are unable to get ‘certified’ seed you can use pieces of ordinary potatoes.

Make sure they have 3-4 ‘eyes’ on them. To reduce the risk of diseases building up in your soil do not plant a new crop of the same thing in the same spot for at least two seasons.

• Prepare any available areas for later plantings.

FURTHER NOTES Your local nursery or garden centre will normally carry a good range of seeds, seedlings and ‘certified’ seed potatoes a t

this time of the year. There are many varieties of available: some for small spaces and some for large, some are bushy or ‘clumping’ and some need stakes or a place to run, some are ideal for fresh eating and some are good for preserving. Read the labels and then if you’re still not sure, ask for advice.

These notes are a general guide and some areas of Gippsland will be warmer and other areas will be cooler.

Local knowledge is valuable so do not hesitate to talk to other gardeners or your local nursery for ‘local’ advice.

Make it Grand

Nestled in a magical pocket of Gippsland, just 2.5 hours drive southeast of Melbourne, lies the spectacular Grand Strzelecki Track (GST), poised to become one of Victoria’s premier hiking, bushwalking and camping adventure destinations. With only short sections remaining to be built, the extensive 85 km bushwalking and hiking track is almost complete.

GRAND STRZELECKI TRACK – BACK ON TRACK: At the August meeting of the Grand Strzelecki Track it was reported that enabling works for the completion of the walking track will commence in October 2011.

The project manager, Alan Lewis, told the meeting that all relevant permits are about to be issued. “It is anticipated that the new sections of the track will be completed in time for the summer holidays”, he reported.

Mr. Booth noted, with enthusiastic support of all attendees, the work of the inaugural president, Richard Appleton, in the development and promotion of the track.

“It is an honour for me to contribute to this next exciting completion phase of the Track”, Mr Booth said. Richard Appleton will continue his involvement as specialist consultant to Grand Strzelecki Track Inc.

FEATURE ARTIST: KERRIE WARREN My aim as an Abstract Expressionist is to bypass self-censoring thought; this allows me to be influenced by layers deeper than the surface.

I enter the studio without a preconceived idea and over time have learnt to trust in the process itself and be guided by instinct.

Mark follows mark, a rhythm is inspired and I become fully absorbed ‘in the moment’. The mark making is instinctual and spontaneous, though ’spontaneous’ slows right down and within it I work to a point of resonation, a climax which in turn will let me go.

At times I feel overwhelmed by ‘my place’ within the universe and I find myself working through this on the canvas, the process itself a spiritual comfort. On reflection I see that my work is strongly influenced by my environment and what is occurring in my life at the time.

Through gestural movement, gravity and paint, the ‘essence’ of these moments is captured and offered as a form of communication to others.

My journey within continues and I sense myself evolving through the work.

Many believe that my work is influenced by the great painter Jackson Pollock but if they looked more closely it would become clear that my own personal journey and studies in Transpersonal Art Therapy provide a powerful influence to my approach.

I work from my studio here in Crossover Victoria (West Gippsland), approximately 15 minutes from Warragul and 1.5 hours from Melbourne CBD. My husband Chris helped me renovate the old dairy which is approximately 100 years old, into a truly wonderful and workable studio.

We have used a mix of new and recycled building materials, put in windows, levelled the floors, fixed the leaking roof and even added some insulation…

WOW! I just love coming down here in the morning with the dogs, I light the fire and feel completely within my element to create. It’s much harder walking back up to the house to put dinner on at the end of the day…

I geneally open by appointment but also partake in the ‘Open Studios’ here in West Gippsland held three times a year which is a great opportunity to do a studio hop.

Exploring your own backyard Federation Picnic at Maffra

– Sunday, 23rd. October

Last year, Gippsland Vehicle Collection hosted the first ‘Federation Picnic at Maffra’. GVC is a member of The Federation of Veteran, Vintage & Classic Vehicle Clubs. The Federation’s objective is to foster, assist and promote clubs & organizations involved with Veteran, Vintage & Classic vehicles.

Last year was a great success, and we are looking forward to consolidating on that this year. The Picnic is an opportunity for owners of Veteran, Vintage & Classic vehicles to bring their vehicles along to GVC, 1a Sale-Maffra Road, Maffra; to enjoy a relaxed family orientated picnic in our grounds.

Entry to the Picnic will be free to all entrants. There is a discounted entry fee to our Museum on the day. As well as the display of vehicles in the grounds, there will be presentations from some of our local Heritage and Craft groups and private individuals, as well as a woodworking display from Gippsland Woodcraft Group.

We are also running the annual ‘Melbourne to Maffra’ (‘M 2 M’) rally on the same weekend; Saturday, October 22nd. and Sunday, October 23rd., to give the rally entrants a chance to join our picnic as well, likewise giving our ‘Picnic’ participants an opportunity to see the ‘Rally’ entrants & their vehicles.

We will again be seeking the assistance of as many of our volunteers as possible to make this a good weekend & a great ‘Picnic’ on Sunday.

AVIATION MUSEUMS

Recently two local aviators travelling to England spent some time visiting ex Royal Airforce airfields that had developed museums on these old bases. The museums were outstanding. These organisations are in the most part run and administered by volunteers and are a credit to the people involved.

The aircraft and equipment from times long gone have been preserved, and indeed some aircraft are still flying, even some dating back to pre 1920. Visitors arriving by the bus load spend hours wandering around absorbing the aviation and other military memorabilia, can buy light snacks, coffee, etc and gifts or souvenirs at most of these venues. It is very likely that the visitor will spend many hours in such a fascinating environment and leave with much respect for the aviators of that bygone era.

West Sale airfield is an ex- military airfield and has the potential to have this type of facility established on its grounds. The Gippsland Armed Forces Museum is already established on the airfield.

It would be interesting to see what support could be available from the Wellington Shire, volunteers and contributors. We only need to visit the Motor Museum at Maffra to see what can be done in our region.

West Gippsland Chorale

t y If you enjoy beautiful sacred music, we are s presenting a concert with the broad theme t of Peace as represented in music from s across six centuries. y e The major work will be the moving mass e by contemporary English composer Karl s Jenkins : The Armed Man Suite- a Mass for Peace. Powerful in its simplicity, it contains four movements based on the t traditional Latin mass and concludes e with a stirring chorus in English which underlines the futility of war.

, –

From a simple sixteenth century introit presented a capella by 3 young women from our chorale, to a repeat performance of the rhythmic and exciting Ramirez Gloria with percussion and mandolin with a duet from 2 of our tenors; from American spirituals to an early Magnificat

by Buxtehude, we move through a variety of inspiring pieces Small groups and solos feature in this concert. A highlight will be Christina Finley singing and playing her celtic harp. Joy

Parker and Janice Eshuis will sing a duet from Vivaldi’s Gloria, and there will be a mixed voice quartet from our younger members.

We promise you an enjoyable and inspiring concert, and hope you can come and bring your friends on either Friday evening October 14 at 8pm or Sunday October 16 at 2pm in Wesley of Warragul.

Hair By Sam

God of Carnage by J. Reza

Hi, for those who don’t know me in the area yet let me introduce myself I’m Sam. I moved to Trafalgar 2 years ago and opened a Home Based Salon here, located in Brown Street.

Just off Anzac Road.

There is nothing to be gained by acting like children… so, one afternoon two sets of parents sit down to discuss a playground fight between their sons. A hilarious satire, it is riddled with belly laughs and outrageously funny observations of primal instincts at play in a setting, oh, so civilised.

November 3,4,5 @ 8pm Matinee performance Nov 5th@ 3pm Tickets: $30, $25 West Gippsland Arts Centre 56 242 456 www.carnage.offtheleashtheatre.com.au

5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD PICK ME AS YOUR NEW HAIRDRESSER: 1Being that its home based means you don’t get the rushed feel of an ordinary salon, I want you to feel completely at home. When you book an appointment with me my time is all yours and I endeavor to give you the best quality service 2AFFORDABILITY- Being that my salon is at home and I don’t have wages to pay- it keeps costs low for you the client- and you still get quality products used on your hair.

3EXPERIENCE- I’ve been practicing for 12 years, have won 21 awards, am nationally recognized, have travelled the country doing fashion and magazine work.

4FLEXIBILTY- I offer hours outside of 9-5 including Saturday and evenings!

5- FAMILY FRIENDLY- I too have a child, so my business is very family focused, feel free and comfortable to bring the kids and wack on a DVD for them or they can be entertained with loads of Stella’s (my daughters) toys.

These two are a couple of icons of the food and catering business with over 35 years of experience in restaurants and function venues from Frankston to South Melbourne to East Drouin and now to Cowwarr.

fashions come and go.

“ We see the move to Cowwarr as the culmination of our lifelong ambition to own and run a good country pub.”

Getting out of the city has been a life saver. No more of that nonsense with plates the size of football fields where you have to send out a search party to find some tiny morsel of something supposedly edible that you can barely recognise” says Helena “ Food is for eating, enjoying and sharing with mates and people you care about. And it’s especially about taste. There’s no point fiddling with some obscure ingredient for 12 hours if it ends up tasting like a piece of cardboard”.

Our time in Drouin has reinforced all our beliefs about getting amongst people who share our approach to no nonsense dining. When you leave my table I want you to feel like the world is a happy place. Real Food for Real People” is the new direction for the Cowwarr Cricket Club Hotel.

This was the England of Queen Victoria and ‘Victorianism’ had its strict moral codes of earnestness, respectability, duty, character, hard work and thrift.

It also had its social and moral evils, workhouses, slums, child labour, and harsh punishment for petty crimes, including transportation to the Australian colonies. While Sam was doing his apprenticeship in London, Charles Dickens was writing Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol, both stinging social criticisms of the times.

On completing his apprenticeship in 1845, Sam married Jane Farnden, also from Godalming. Sam was 24 years old and Jane 22. For the next five years, until leaving for Australia, it is likely that Sam learned carpentry and building, a trade which was to serve him well in Australia.

The Lady McNaughton sailed from London on 2nd February 1850 and reached Port Melbourne on 5th August, a voyage of six months. With them went their young son George (b 1846) and daughter Grace (b 1847). Sam and Jane’s third child, a daughter, was born at sea on 20th March 1850. They named her ‘Oceana’ in honour of her place of birth at Latitude 8 N. off Cape Verd (sic) in the Lady McNaughtin (sic). 7 At that time, the 19,000 kilometre voyage to the Australian colonies was the longest regularly travelled sea voyage in the world. Wooden ships were built to run before the wind, so did not take the most direct route. Coming south from Britain, they left the coast of Africa in the vicinity of Cape Verde Islands, then veered south-west before the trade winds taking them almost to the coast of South America before turning south-east to landfall at Cape Town, then further south into the roaring forties with raging seas to bring them to Australia from the west.

Father and son combinations on boats were a common occurrence as it was a matter of economics to have a son as a partner rather than splitting the catch with a hired hand.

Across generations, many of the sons followed in their fathers’ footsteps and ‘extended families’ become prevalent with many fishermen becoming related through marriages within the fishing families.

The Port Franklin fishermen established territories and areas, known as ‘shots’, within the inlet, which they unofficially claimed as theirs. When they left port they would head off to the part of the inlet they constantly fished, and had a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ within their ranks that this was their fishing ground, although there were times when this agreement was not observed for various reasons.

The Second World War once again interrupted the Victorian fishing industry, and Port Franklin was no exception, with several fishermen leaving to serve overseas in conflict. After the war Corner Inlet fishing reached its peak, and through the 1950s and 1960s Port Franklin fishermen consigned large catches to the Melbourne fish market. In 1958 the fishermen of Port Franklin, Port Welshpool and Port Albert supplied the Melbourne wholesale fish market with 75% of the flounder caught in Victoria.

Descendants of early fishing families such as the Cripps, Soderlunds, Averys, Pettersons and Mattssons followed in their fathers’ and grandfathers’ footsteps to take the industry into the 1970s and 80s. It was a changing era, with the Government continuing to show added interest in an industry that was becoming increasingly regulated and pressurised into reducing the number of professional fishermen operating on Corner Inlet.

WONTHAGGI.........

They said Wonthaggi would become a ghost town after the closing of the mines in December 1968, but the town has prospered and keeps on growing year after year.

Wonthaggi, is a name said to be derived from a local Aboriginal language and means either ‘home’ or ‘to pull along’. Wonthaggi is located 128 kms south-east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australialess than two hours drive from Melbourne. Travel along the South Gippsland Highway from Melbourne, turning on to the Bass Highway. Then follow the road through Grantville, Bass and Kilcunda before reaching Wonthaggi.

The explorer William Hovell discovered black-coal deposits at nearby Cape Paterson in 1826, but early attempts at mining were unsuccessful. Coal deposits at Wonthaggi were known by the 1850’s, but development was delayed until 1909, when a labour strike in Newcastle slowed the production of coal and undeveloped coal fields were opened up. Between 1910 and 1968, black coal was mined from Wonthaggi’s network of underground mines.

Parts of the old mine are now reopened for guided tours.The State Coal Mines created a thriving industrial settlement for miners and their families during those years. Since the mines closure, Wonthaggi has developed into a large commercial centre, Places of interest in the town include the former railway station which houses the Wonthaggi Historical Society.

In 2009, we hosted “The Bollywood Night” and after a sell out show (225 tickets), we undertook an even more ambitious challenge. The LIA‘s new venture was to showcase classical Indian dance and music. We had renowned artists such as Dr Chandrabhanu and Mr Radhey Shyam Gupta display their talent and it was very much accepted and appreciated by the audience. We managed to get an audience of around 350.

The LIA has been fortunate to get sponsorships form organisations such as Loy Yang B Power Station, The Good Guys, Priceline Pharmacy Moe .Various other small businesses have supported our venture in form of small prizes and gift vouchers. This year Latrobe Indian Association is organising an Evening of Indian Classical and Contemporary dances ‘Colours of India 2011’
