SH1 Transmission Gully works until mid-February, weather permitting.

There’s no roadworks for the holiday break from Friday 19 December, and all lanes will be fully open. Contractors are back to work on Monday 5 January, at night. Plan ahead for lane closures, night-time road closures and speed restrictions until mid-February. When the highway is closed, detours are via State Highway 59 and State Highway 58.
Chip-seal works begin in early January, so drivers must do 30km/h to prevent flying chip that can damage vehicles.

Get ready for some entertainment over the Christmas holiday.
Ex-lib. Published by Carlton 2013 for The Official Pub Quiz Association. 224 pages Page 19 has a couple of pen marks. See photos. Someone split their cup of tea over page 30, it then marked all the previous pages and page 31. This has not stopped the ability to read the questions but it does impact the look of the pages. See photos. The other 193 pages are fine - at least I did not spot anything wrong.
