Each autumn, these odd fish migrate to a critical breeding and nursery ground for the species in the shallow waters of Victoria’s Western Port Bay. Here, each female lays two large leathery eggs every few weeks during the March–May breeding season.

This year’s theme is Together We Thrive, and it’s pretty much what the WNOW Sunrise Club is all about: connection, community, and showing up for one another.

We reckon no one should have to navigate life on their own. Sometimes a simple check-in, or a chat with a mate, makes all the difference. That’s really all our Wednesday mornings are, a bunch of local blokes getting together to move a bit, have a yarn and start the day better than they would have alone.

So this October: check in with yourself, check in with a mate, and if you know someone who’d be better for it, send them this.

The Mornington Sunrise Club meets every Wednesday, 6am at Mothers Beach. Free, always. No need to be fit, just come down.

HEAD of environmental group Save Port Phillip Bay and Mornington Peninsula resident Marteen Koster is leading the fight to keep VOPAK’s regasification plant out of Port Phillip Bay.

I moved down here with my family, but unfortunately didn’t bring any friends with me 😂 so I’m hoping to find some people to hang out with and get involved in the local community.

I’m a nurse and would love to find some volunteering opportunities, community groups, or honestly anything where I can meet people and make some friends.

I’m also very much a non-sporty person trying to become slightly less non-sporty, so I’d be keen to join a casual sport/fitness group or try something completely new. I’m definitely more “I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m here for the social aspect” than athletic 😂

I’m also a huge fan of live music and concerts. Some of my favourites are Twenty One Pilots, Noah Kahan, Fall Out Boy, Oasis, AC/DC and plenty of others. Always happy to go to gigs, discover new music, or just have someone to talk music with!

Basically, I’m just looking to meet some genuinely nice people, make some friends and get more settled into the Peninsula. 😊

If anyone knows of any good groups, volunteering opportunities, social clubs, or just wants to say hi, feel free to comment or DM!

Mornington Peninsula Theatre Company (MPtc) presents a radical, refreshing interpretation of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, edited, designed and directed by Artistic Director Jonty Reason.

While retaining its traditional Edwardian setting, this production infuses the classic text with distinctly modern sensibilities, shifting the focus entirely to Eliza Doolittle’s agency.

A GROUP of local art students are holding an exhibition and auction to raise funds for Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation and Southern Peninsula Community Support.

The exhibition will open at 4pm on 5 October at Mornington Library and run until 24 November.

Perched on the raw, exposed Southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, this architectural marvel is a testament to resilience. Nestled into a landscape shaped by relentless winds and salty air from Bass Strait, this Portsea dwelling embraces the natural elements instead of battling them.

WITH less than 70 days until the state election, candidates have begun campaigning for the seat of Mornington.

Heading down to Saint Andrews’s today with my family and need to do a bit of uni work. Could anyone give any recommendations as to where I may find a nice cafe or place to open my laptop and do a bit of study ?

Hey peps. Long story short is I have a food trailer I’ve inherited and it requires towing from Gippsland to someone that can help fix it up.
All new appliances inside never been used but the flooring is rusted and probably needs new tyres all that stuff. So I’ld need to tow it on a semi truck.
Can anyone point me in right direction to trusted services for towing and fixing this up? I’m worried it will cost an arm and a leg.
What would you do in this situation? Should I tow it straight to a storage facility to reduce stress of co-ordinating and try and fix this thing myself or just streamline it all in one.
I don’t mind where it is goes temporarily as long as it’s either Morn Pen, inner Gippsland, Melbourne East
