Warnings, fire danger and bin day lead. The free firewood season is open until 30 November — nothing is open in the Wombat this year, so it is worth reading before you drive out.

Bin Day
Is the Road Open?
Neighbours report whether the roads in and out of town are clear, slow going or blocked right now — after a storm or in fire season — alongside VicTraffic's official closures.
Markets & Festivals
The weekly markets and the festivals that fill the town — with the busy weekends flagged for parking.
Pensioner & Concession Card Savings
Pick the card you have — or don't have — and see exactly which electricity, gas, water, rates and transport concessions apply, with the real steps to claim them and who to call.
After-Hours Health
Where to go when something's wrong out of hours — the 24/7 Urgent Care Centre, GP and pharmacy hours, and when to head to Ballarat.
Getting Here & Getting Back
The car-free way in and out — V/Line route 301 to Melbourne via Woodend or Ballarat, which is faster, and the last service back so a day out doesn't strand you.
Mineral Springs
The free public spring-water taps in town — which pumps run sparkling, where they are, and how to fill a bottle.
