VICTORIA shivered through a blustery night — but, be warned, the wild weather is not over just yet.



As the mop-up begins from yesterday’s chaos, Melbourne can expect showers and strong wind to continue this morning, with a maximum temperature of 11C.


Snow, hail and thunder is forecast throughout the state, with a severe weather warning in place for the Mallee, Wimmera, north-central, southwest, central and Gippsland districts.


Another cold front will enter the southwest this morning and then move across the state, bringing very cold and squally winds with it.

Expect widespread showers and localised hail and thunder with winds up to 90km/h.


While the squalls will moderate this afternoon, blizzard conditions will continue in alpine areas.


It’s been a busy night for the State Emergency Service, with 1700 people calling for help after winds of up to 139km/h lashed the state. More than 800 came from Melbourne, which experienced a low of 6C, and almost 550 from Gippsland by 10pm.

As many as 45,000 homes lost power during the storm’s peak.


This morning, trains were delayed on the Lilydale line due to a power issue and delays of up to 15 minutes are expected as the network catches up.


Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Andrea Peace told the Herald Sun that temperatures were cold enough for snow to fall, particularly in Ballarat where it was 1C about 6.30am, the Grampians, dipped to -3C this morning, and parts of Melbourne, notably Ferny Creek near the Dandenong Ranges, which was about 2C.

Tasmania was also hit hard yesterday as a strong front moved across the country’s southeast.


A 63-year-old woman died in Launceston after a tree fell in high winds. She was clearing fallen trees and other storm debris at her Trevallyn property when she was struck by another falling tree just after noon.


Melbourne can expect a few early showers and a top of 13C tomorrow, with patchy fog and light frost in the morning.


The sun will return Sunday.

MH17 memorial service to be held in Melbourne on August 7 - The Australian

A NATIONAL day of mourning has been declared next Thursday for the victims of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 tragedy, with a multi-faith memorial service planned for St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne.



The Prime Minister, speaking on Melbourne radio, said the Victorian capital was selected for the 10.30am service because 16 of the 38 Australian victims were from the state.


Flags on all Government buildings, here and overseas, will be flown at half-mast and the service will be broadcast live.


“It will be a multi-faith service at St Patrick’s Cathedral and I hope many members of the public will attend to support the families of the victims,” Mr Abbott told 3AW.


“It’s going to be here in Melbourne because some 16 of the Australian victims came from Victoria.”


MH17 was expected to continue on to Melbourne after arriving in Kuala Lumpur but was shot down over eastern Ukraine, apparently by Russian-backed rebels, on July 17. The 298 passengers and crew were killed.


Mr Abbott, in a later statement, said: “The service will honour those who have lost their lives and seek to support those who have been bereaved. All Australians mourn the loss of Flight MH17.


“23 million Australians share the sadness of those who mourn.


“We are united in grief and in our determination to ensure that justice is done.”


Those wishing to attend the national memorial service should contact a ceremonial and Protocol Officer on (02) 6271 5991 or (02) 6271 5209 or via email at MemorialService@pmc.gov.au up until 12 noon on Wednesday 6 August 2014.

Melbourne cat cafe: Bookings only as new business opens with a rush of ... - ABC Online


Updated July 30, 2014 15:04:11


Melbourne's new cat cafe is booked out for the next five days with people keen to have a coffee while socialising with 13 rescued felines.


Owner Anita Loughran and her partner were miserable in their corporate jobs and opted for a change.


She has always been a cat lover and not even an allergy could keep her away from them.


"I'm getting weekly injections. So it's all right. I manage," she said.


"I've always had cats, even with my allergies. It's never been able to stop me.


"We decided to start a cat cafe because it's fun and we think a lot of people get benefits out of it."


Although cat cafes are new in Australia, the first one opened in Taiwan in 1998, and they are now popular in Japan and a number of European countries.


Thirteen rescued cats live at the Cat Cafe Melbourne and they have plenty of space to roam and play with visitors.


"The rooms are full of cat scratching frames, toys, tunnels, hidey-holes," Ms Loughran said.


"We've got shelves up on the wall so they can jump if they want to get up high.


"[In the early morning] they're a little bit playful because they've had their breakfast so you'll see people playing with the cats. There's probably a few on laps as well."


Some of the visitors do not have their own cats, but most do.


The people who pay to spend time with these cats range from kids over eight years of age - young children are not allowed in for their own safety - to "older gentlemen".


The cafe is open seven days a week, 11 hours a day and people pay $10 an hour for the privilege of spending time with these cats.


And if the cafe's felines have had enough attention, there are spaces just for them.


"They do have their private litter room so if they've had enough they can escape," Ms Loughran said.


"We gradually built up... getting used to people coming through.


"We had early bird events so the cats could get used to it and they love the attention."


Ms Loughran said there was a big difference between cat people and dog people, who are usually more outgoing and social with their pets.


"I think cat people are kind of more reserved and because there aren't really any social groups for them at the moment," she said.


"Sometimes they get a bit of a bad rap for being a crazy cat person.


"Hopefully this is a good place for them to express themselves."


But do not expect to be able to walk up to the Queen Street cafe and get in without a booking.


"All we can tell people at this point in time is no walk-ins. Please book ahead," she said.

Wild weather expected to lash Melbourne and Victoria with winds of up to 140km/h - Herald Sun



The wind picks up the sand as Sam Dalton and Sian Murphy from Hawthorn walk along Middle

WINTER is coming to Victoria in full force.



After a week of mostly mild conditions, the state is set to be lashed with winds of up to 140km/h today, with rain, hail and snow to follow this evening, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.


Healesville Sanctuary has closed to visitors because of the high winds.


Sanctuary spokeswoman Judy Robertson said the popular tourist spot was shut today “for the safety of our visitors and animals”.

Buses have also replaced trains on the Belgrave line from Upper Ferntree Gully to Belgrave after a tree fell on the track.


The mercury is forecast to plummet into the single figures in Melbourne this afternoon after briefly hitting a top of 17C about midday.


Severe wind warnings have been issued across the state, with destructive gusts of up to 140km/h expected in the Grampians, alpine areas and the hills surrounding Melbourne, with Melbourne city likely to experience damaging winds of up to 110km/h.


The SES is advising people across the state to prepare for the wild winds by moving their cars under cover or away from trees, securing loose items around their homes and keeping clear of fallen power lines.


Bureau forecaster Phil King told the Herald Sun about 6.30am that gusts had already reached 120km/h in Mt William in the Grampians, almost 100km/h at Airey’s Inlet and up to 70km/h in the metropolitan area.


Mr King said the winds would slowly die down as a cold front moved through the state, bringing with it a band of rain, hail, snow and icy temperatures.


He said the front was forecast to hit the state’s southwest about midday, Melbourne and the state’s centre this afternoon, and the east tonight.


“We’re likely to see snow down to lower levels in the Grampians, Otways, Ballarat region, the hills around Melbourne and of course the alpine areas after that front,” Mr King said.


“We could be getting snow this evening.”


Mr King said the temperature in Melbourne was forecast to noticeably drop to 9C about 4pm after reaching a pleasant high of 17C.


“We’ve had mild conditions for five days now — we had 14C in Melbourne overnight, which is the average maximum daytime temperature for this time of year,” he said.


“But by the time people will be going home today, it will feel like 1C with the wind.”


A top of 11C is expected in Melbourne tomorrow, rising to 13C on Saturday with strong winds forecast to clear later that day.


Mr King said the temperature would then gradually rise, reaching 14C on Sunday and about 16C on Monday and Tuesday.

AFP seizes ice worth $130m in Melbourne - ABC Online


Updated July 30, 2014 13:55:29


The Australian Federal Police (AFP) have seized 135 kilograms of methamphetamine with a street value of $130 million from a Melbourne apartment.


Police said they located four suitcases containing the drugs in an inner city Melbourne apartment on Tuesday night.


The drugs represent 1.3 million street deals, police said.


The AFP and Australian Crime Commission (ACC) executed search warrants in Melbourne yesterday and arrested four Taiwanese nationals, all aged in their twenties.




  • Aprox $40 million in cash seized

  • Over $800 million of illicit drugs seized

  • $30 million in assets restrained

  • Identified more than 179 targets previously unknown to law enforcement officials

  • Disrupted 25 serious organised crime groups

  • Shut down 18 clandestine drug labs, three of which were commercial scale

  • Raised $12 million in tax assessments with 150 referrals to the ATO for further action on evasion and money laundering.


Source: Richard Grant, ACC

The seizure and arrests comes after intelligence from the Eligo National Task Force.


AFP Commander Bruce Giles said it was a significant seizure for the country and the state.


"Ice, we see as one of the most dangerous and insidious diseases in our communities and the fact that we have removed over 1.3 million street deals of methamphetamine has got to be good for the Victorian and Australian community," he said.


"I think in terms of an organised crime syndicate operating in Australia, clearly they will see yet again that agencies cooperate effectively together to join forces to combat the drug trade."


The four men, Chun Lan, 28, Ming Hsuan Ou and Li Ping Chen, both 23, and Shu Yi Lin, 20, appeared briefly in the Melbourne Magistrates Court just before 1:00pm (AEST).


They were all charged with possessing and trafficking a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug. The charges carry a maximum penalty of life in prison.


The court heard the men, who were assisted by a translator, have Australian tourist visas and their arrest yesterday is their first time in custody.


They have been remanded in custody until their next court hearing. Magistrate Jelena Popovic told the men they could apply for bail at any time.


They will return to court on November 5 for a committal mention.

Police have spoken to the owner of the Ferrari and are trying to find out who was driving the vehicle.


The car was not stolen.


A Victoria Police spokeswoman said both cars were “extensively damaged”.


The Ferrari is alleged to have run a red light, an aspect of the case which police are also investigating.


Anybody who witnessed the crash - or took footage of it - is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Melbourne Zoo is eagerly anticipating the arrival of its first baby gorilla in 14 years.


First-time gorilla mum Kimya is about one month into her pregnancy and is expected to give birth in March next year.


"We're all really excited," Melbourne Zoo primate precinct manager Harna Burton told AAP.


Keepers are optimistic the pregnancy and birth will go well because Kimya has watched and helped a number of her siblings as they grow up.

On August 23, then Opposition infrastructure spokesman Warren Truss said: "A Coalition government, if elected, will kick-start one of Australia's most ambitious rail projects, the Inland Rail from the Port of Brisbane to Melbourne through New South Wales."

"This project will help ensure that our transport network is ready to do the heavy lifting required to meet Australia's growing freight transport task of the next 50 years," he said.


"Under our plans, the standard gauge rail line that presently runs from Melbourne to Illabo (near Cootamundra) will finish its almost 2,000 kilometre journey at the Port of Brisbane.


"The Australian Rail Track Corporation will be tasked to work with interested parties to establish a staged, 10-year approach to the construction of the Inland Rail, with construction to start within three years."


The promise was also made in the Coalition's infrastructure policy document, released in September: "We have committed... $300 million to finalise plans, engineering design and environmental assessments for the Melbourne to Brisbane inland rail."


Here's how the promise is tracking:
