  • Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria
    Department of Primary Industries Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria Report: 51 September 22, 2005 Environmental Indicators Rainfall August rainfall totals were close to normal. Over winter as a whole, rainfall was somewhat above normal in the North East and in East Gippsland, somewhat below normal in Central Victoria and in West Gippsland, and near to normal elsewhere. August had a warm spell at the end of the month following the widespread snow on the 10th. Overall daytime temperatures were 1°C above average and nightime temperatures were about average. For the 6-month period from March to August, serious to severe rainfall deficiencies extend from the far southeast of South Australia across southwest and south-central Victoria to west Gippsland. The deficiencies over southern Victoria are not as extensive or intense as they were at the end of July. The most significant rainfall in September occurred through the second week and varied from 0-5 mm in the north west to over 100 mm in pockets of the North East (Figure 1). The seasonal rainfall outlook for October to December indicates an increased likelihood of below median falls over parts of southern Victoria for the December quarter. Chances of above median rainfall are between 30 and 40% in a band extending from the far southeast of South Australia to West Gippsland. This includes most of the areas that have suffered severe short-term rainfall deficiencies since the start of autumn, and a general downturn in rainfall since the mid 1990s. The chances of a wetter than average season are between 40 and 50% over the rest of the State.

  • Annual Report
    Annual Report 2019/2020 BENDIGO FOODSHARE ABN: 80673290971| PHONE: 03 5444 3409 FACTORY: 2/ 43 HAVILAH ROAD, LONG GULLY VICTORIA, 3550 WEB: WWW.BENDIGOFOODSHARE.ORG.AU Chairperson’s Report Well, what a rollercoaster of a year it has been. In 2019 our amazing team stepped in to double our supermarket food rescue, increase growing, cooking and sharing food, and reduce waste. With a great band of local service clubs, our Mobile Christmas Food Pantry helped get food out over the holidays. We paused and took a breath in February and then COVID struck. Since then it’s the support from you, our community, that has kept Bendigo Foodshare going. There are many highlights. I cannot name them all, but standing out are: When many of our older volunteers had to self-isolate, 246 new volunteers answered our call for help. The City of Greater Bendigo supported us with fluoro vests, hand sanitiser and access to their online volunteer management system. Local farmers have been donating much-appreciated food, including apples, chickpeas, lentils, chickens, pumpkins and local fruit and vegetables and more. Through Cafes for COVID, our local cafes and schools have produced meals for people in need. We couldn’t run our fundraising, but your donations have kept our lights on and our fridges operating. With the pandemic continuing, work hasn’t stopped. Many more changes are underway to empower our volunteer teams and keep them safe during these difficult times. I would like to thank everyone who has worked tirelessly so that we can: continue to source, rescue, sort and warehouse food, and get it out to people in need across the region; teach skills for food security; and keep our community in touch with us through the many stories and the highs and lows of life at Bendigo Foodshare.
