CFA Open Day
Saturday 2nd November 2002
With fine weather and a lot of cars passing on the Great Ocean Road, the Anglesea CFA opened its doors with a sizzle to mark the beginning of fire season. Visitors were encouraged to share a sausage with members of the crew, buy a raffle ticket and take a closer look at the equipment used.
A bad fire season is being predicted by many of the experts. Low rainfall, high temperatures and high levels of bush fuel make a combustible mix. The Anglesea CFA has already attended 3 grass and bush fires this season, in and around Anglesea.

ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Torquay
25 April 2003
Leaving Geelong in the dark on Friday morning, I was surprised to see an unbroken string of red tail lights heading for Torquay. It then dawned on me that I was just one of the many thousands of people who were heading to Point Danger to remember all those who have served in defence of our nation in time of war.
I parked the car and joined the quiet procession of people emerging from the dark on its way to Torquay's Point Danger war memorial. The first ANZAC Day Dawn Service took place here at 6.30am on Sunday, 24 April 1949. Two years later the current war memorial was built and dedicated to the fallen.

Anglesea is one of only four locations in Victoria were the rare little marsupial is found. The other locations are Wilson Promontory, Loch Sport and Providence Ponds. It is also found in Tasmania.

It is this experience that lead the Australian film star to become involved with Canteen, an Australian Charity that supports, develops and empowers young people living with cancer.
"I'm not going to bust my balls on any dodgy charity", explained Samuel to the crowd that came out to greet him as he rode into Anglesea.
