News wrap

Here's what made the news this week...that's ealier this week - just a little late in posting!

• Hoons from the Yarra Ranges could have their speeding footage released on YouTube by the police! Interesting concept, not too sure how it would help though - don't most people laugh at YouTube clips - especially 'Beached bro'! (Leader, 29 Sept, page 1).
• 400 shire residents are in court because of rate defaulting. The shire has one of the highest number of rate defaulters appearing in court across Melbourne. This number is down from 534 the previous year. However, as there are 143,000 people in the shire, this is not one of the worst rates (compared with residents). (Leader, 29 Sept, page 11)
• A vibrant paiting painted by young people at the Shire's Winter Sleepout was presented to Anchor Community Care. I went to this sleepout....24 hours without sleep makes me very tired! (Mail, 30 Sept, page 5)
• The Beechworth Bakery Healesville is turning 2! And to celebrate you can buy on beesting and get a second one for 5c!!! Might have to go check it out tomorrow...
