Not boring Yarra Ranges Council, Eastern Regional Libraries, Milwarra Primary School, ADRA and Inspiro have teamed up to provide several free, fun-filled activities to keep the boredom at bay for children these winter school holidays. The winter activities include meeting Australian animals and critters up close, STEM activities and even the art of chocolate making. The winter program runs until 10 July. All the event details can be found at www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/Lists/Events/Youth-Holiday-Program-Winter-2019. Mail photographer Rob Carew captured some of the fun and frivolous activities on offer.
Amanda Pockett captured these gorgeous reflections at the Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens. Follow @MailCommunity on Facebook for more photos from across the Yarra Ranges and tag us in your local snaps for a chance to see them in print.
LETTER Emerald voters

PROUDLY AUSTRALIAN OWNED & INDEPENDENT
The time has come to deport the Queenslanders who infest Emerald like cane toads and skew the election results. Ninety-two of them voted for the Queensland parties (led by Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer) at the recent Federal Election. My nephew tells me that I am being absurd;
no Queenslander would leave the warmth of their beloved state for the freeze of Emerald, so I am forced to conclude that these votes came from grand-childless persons who care little for the future, and/or people who believe that booing champion footballer Adam Goodes had no racial connotations.
