Multiflora Nursery is set to welcome a heap of hug

Multiflora Nursery is set to welcome a heap of huge pumpkins for its second annual giant pumpkin competition.

It’s a chance for locals to see just how big their prized possession can get, with a reward of the pumpkin’s journey coming full circle.

Colac’s Jai and Mia Stinchcombe have watched their Atlantic Giant pumpkin flourish in recent months, now weighing in at 7.4 kilograms.

It’s International Jazz Day today, and a local teenage band is soaking it up before they embark on an exciting tour.

Trinity College Colac music teacher Stephen Gill said the school’s band The Elliminations added a jazz song to their repertoire when a new member joined the group.

At a gym in Ballarat, iron clanged and a crowd roa

At a gym in Ballarat, iron clanged and a crowd roared encouragement as Colac’s Grace McKenzie stood over a bar loaded with 182.5 kilograms. A deep breath. A grip. A lift.

That final deadlift didn’t just complete the trio of events at the Stronghold Services Tribute over Anzac weekend-it completed a personal goal more than a year in the making: an accumulated 400-kilogram total in a single event.

For McKenzie, a mother of two and relatively new to the sport, the lift meant more than just numbers. It meant validation, momentum, and possibly a golden ticket to the national stage.
