🚌🚌🚌 BUS STOP CHANGE - ALEXANDRA 🚌🚌🚌
Public Transport Victoria have advised that there will be a temporary change to the coach stop location in Alexandra.
Instead of the bus stop outside the Alexandra Opportunity Shop, the temporary location will be on Nihil Street (between Grant and Bayley St), near Menzies Support Services.
PTV have advised that the change will be in place from Monday, December 11 until further notice.

And the reason?
Is this for both Melbourne and Seymour bus runs?

Mmmm I wonder if this is because the 'suit' at PTV who designed the current stop and thought sticking it in the middle of the road was a good idea has realised it wasn't such a good idea after all? 🤣😉
this new stop was a talking point many years ago. how is it going to work with bus going to eildon?
Important Update! We’re experiencing strong winds in the local area as well as neighbouring towns and are actively responding to several trees over the road. We’d like to encourage the community to avoid travel until the wind eases; in particular, on tree-lined roads. The wind has been coming from the southeast, which is unusual for our area and may cause trees to fall in unexpected places (as well as the usual suspects!). Be prepared for extensive debris on roads in the morning.
Please take care and avoid non-essential travel this evening.

It's a good night to avoid driving. There's a lot of debris on the roads, including fallen branches. If you do have to drive, drive slowly.
Currently:
- 8.12pm - Tree down on Falls Rd, Marysville, near Yellow Dog Track. (Cleared)
- 8.17pm - Tree down on Marysville-Buxton Road near Elliott Bridge. (Cleared)
- 8.30pm - Tree down near Fernshaw on the Black Spur (now cleared by a member of the public according to a post on Black Spur Conditions and Closures).
- 8.54pm - Tree down on Marysville-Buxton Road near the corner of Retreat Road. (Cleared)
Post in comments if you become aware of any other trees down this evening (after contacting the SES of course).
Also, charge your phone.

Yes had a very close call with a small tree this afternoon. I would share the video but my son swore so I probably shouldn't post it here 🤣
Usual windy conditions occurrences.
We came out of Marysville a bit after 8pm along the Marysville-Buxton rd, and the wind was crazy and debris falling everywhere. Quite bizarre as the wild wind seemed localised along there. By Buxton it was fairly settled and much the same home at Taggerty.

👨🏼 THE MO MEMO 👨🏻
You might be wondering what all the stashes are about!
The Alexandra Fire Brigade are much more that just putting out fire (Mind you we’ve attended over 80 jobs this year). We are about engaging the community, giving back, having tough conversations but most of all education!
Did you know that A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.
So……
How does little old Alexandra and surrounds square up next to the hustle and bustle with donations you might ask? I’ll let the photo stats say it all!
Last year the community raised a whopping $17K for our Movember fundraising efforts. You may think we’ve been a bit quiet this month, you’d be right! We knew that with only one year we couldn’t possibly beat such a monstrous effort but we will plan for bigger next year.
We understand that our community has been hit, with floods, COVID and many other things however small businesses always back us! A massive shout out to Noanie at Alexandra Apparel for our team shirts back to back two years and running.
Just remember that if all you can donate is a little time to educate yourself on the cause that is the most powerful tool you can have. If you’re willing to spare some coffee or car wash money we’d also love for you to donate 👇👇 stay tuned!
