  • North East Football-The Early Years 1885 to 1945
    North East Football-The Early Years 1885 to 1945. Back in the 1860s football was played around the North East in unofficial games way before any organized competition began. Around 1885 Tallangatta (the red caps), Mitta Mitta (Snowy’s) and Allan’s Flat fielded teams but there was no official League or draw set up in those days. Tallangatta was often referred to as Mitta Valley with red, white and blue as their team colours and the Allans Flat team were judged by their size and weight. In their first game that year Allan’s Flat was soundly defeated by a more streamlined and fitter Tallangatta combination played at Tallangatta. The games were organized weeks before so the clubs could train and organize the teams and transport. Travel was a major factor in those days with horse drawn drags, coaches, horseback or walking the common mode of travel until the arrival of rail. The drags held about 20 people with the majority of the team and supporters meeting at the pub Saturday morning and heading off about 7am arriving about midday. A lot of the time the teams struggled for numbers but generally the games went ahead anyway with players borrowed from the opposition. After the game the home team would host a function with the club President toasting his counterpart in a gentlemanly fashion and being returned the compliment. The visitors would return home that night or the next morning. Tallangatta Football Team were undefeated in 1885. A meeting of the Tallangatta Football Club was held at the Court House Thursday Evening May 27th1886.

  • Cycling, Walking and Horse Trails Plan
    Cycling, Walking and Horse Trails Plan Expression of Interest – Project Brief May 2019 Cycling, Walking and Horse Trails Plan – Expression of Interest 1 1. Project Outline: Indigo Shire Council is seeking to appoint a consultant to develop a shire wide Cycling, Walking and Horse Trails Plan. This plan will provide recommendations for the Council to support participation in all forms of walking cycling and horse riding for recreation and active travel across the municipality. The primary focus of the plan is to improve the health and wellbeing of the community and to enhance connectivity to improve social connections within and between townships. An infrastructure assessment will ensure Council has a strong understanding of the build environment supporting cycling, walking and horse trail riding and the gaps to address in the future. Innovative ideas to enhance participation in these activities will align with Council’s Recreation Plan focus on inspiring more residents to be active more often across the Shire. The Plan will also consider the influence, contribution, and impact of the forthcoming development of the Beechworth to Yackandandah Rail Trail, and Beechworth to Yackandandah Epic Mountain Bike Trail projects. Council acknowledges that trails in state and national parks in the Shire are also used by motorised vehicle enthusiasts, and whilst this project will consider that use, the main focus of the project will be on the non-motorised activities of recreational cycling and walking in urban and rural areas of the shire, state and national parks, and recreational use of trails by horse riders. 2. About Indigo Shire Location 270km north east of Melbourne Region North East Victoria Area 2040 sq km Length of roads 1491km Population 16,034 (ABS Census Data 2016) Indigo Shire is located in Victoria’s North East and borders the Murray River and the Australian Alps.
