Bealy takes the last exit on the Roundabout - Thursday 23rd June 2023

6/23/2022

After 20 years of broadcasting on community radio 3MDR, Bealy exits the Roundabout for the last time on Thursday 23rd June.

Graham "Bealy" Beal joined 3MDR as a "fill in" presenter on numerous shows before landing a Saturday afternoon timeslot with his own show called Roundabout.   

Some years later,  Bealy moved across to his current timeslot on Thursdays 5-7pm.

Bealy has a real passion for music and the environment, particularly birds of the feathered variety.   Each week, Roundabout featured interviews with ornithologists, environmentalists, social justice workers and musicians.

In addition to dedicating volunteer hours to prepare, produce and present Roundabout each week, Bealy has assisted 3MDR's operations with stints on the Committee of Management and has always been willing to help out at events and local festivals

Thank you Bealy for your enormous contribution to community radio 3MDR over the last 20 years.   You're a treasure to the Mountain Ears and will be missed!!!

We wish you all the very best for the future, safe travels and enjoy catching up with your mum in the UK.   

May your dog be with you.

Belgrave Lantern Parade Saturday 25th June 2022

6/22/2022

This year’s Belgrave Lantern Festival puts all of Belgrave on the map, taking festival revellers on a self-led journey across and around the entire township.

‘Activated’ spaces and creative precinct ‘pop ups’ appear in streets, alleyways, arcades, nooks and crannies, featuring art, music, workshops, circus arts, DJ’s, bands, solo artists, food trucks, fire-pits and more.

Last year’s ‘re-imagined’ lantern pivot, which saw shop fronts transformed into luminous lantern exhibits, verified that the hills community is an undaunted, creative and tenacious mob, prepared to do whatever it takes to keep the glow in our streets, and in our hearts, burning bright. This spirit sets the tone and inspiration for 2022.

Belgrave will again become a literal and figurative beacon of light, levity and celebration across the hills this year.

​On June 25, The Belgrave Lantern Festival will splash down! So, will there be lantern-making workshops in the lead up? Absolutely. Can I bring my own lantern on the night? 100%.

On the longest night of the year, we invite you to experience and re-experience Belgrave anew. June 25 is a homage to light, the imagination and to the community that illuminates, nourishes and informs how Belgrave lives, works and plays together. 
​
See you there!

Yarra Ranges 2021 Storm Recovery - Anniversary Community Events June 2022

6/1/2022

The extreme storm event on 9 and 10 June 2021 had a devastating effect on many Yarra Ranges residents and communities.

The impacts continue to be felt by people who experienced damage to their homes, gardens, communities, environment, and wellbeing.

After consultation with community groups, Yarra Ranges Council offered small grants to enable community-led gatherings to support community wellbeing between Friday 27 May and Friday 24 June.

While some people do not wish to dwell on the date of the 1st anniversary of the storm event, others have expressed the need to gather, reflect on shared experiences, and/or thank people who helped.

Council allocated a total funding pool of $5,430 for existing not-for-profit community groups and small community organisations located in storm impacted Yarra Ranges communities to host small free events/activities.

Join your local community at one or more of these events
