Biketoberfest
Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (09:38): A hearty ‘well done’ also to the volunteer committee behind Saturday’s Biketoberfest event in Leongatha which brought hundreds of bikers to town to celebrate various types of gleaming chrome and undertake their local Black Dog Ride to create awareness of depression and promote motorbike safety month through October. The weather was not exactly great, but the stalls and side events brought hundreds of extra people to town – great for tourism, local businesses and the community. Congratulations to Steve Busana and his committee and the Leongatha chamber of commerce for all their efforts.
