New blog post idea today! Each Tuesday the local newspapers are published. I thought I would give you a few snippets of information from Healesville and the surrounding valley. Gives you an idea of what's going on - and provides a good reference point for myself too!
Doctors:
Front page news this week - the Yarra Valley has a 1:1530 doctor-patient ratio - the 7th worst ratio in Australia - THE WORST IN VICTORIA! If the areas medical classification changes (which might happen apparently), we would stand to lost 6 of the 22 doctors in the area! (LYV Leader, 1 Sept, page 1)
Indigenous Community:
The Shire of Yarra Ranges has the eastern metropolitan area's largest Aboriginal population. (LYV Leader, 1 Sept, page 6)
Fair Trade Coffee:
The Yarra Coffee & Co roaster has Fair Trade Coffee! They are one of two fair trade roasters in the Yarra Valley area. Check out www.yarracoffee.com.au
That's the news this week!
