Have any of you legends checked out the Four Posts Fig Tree Watering Hole in Jarklin? 🍺

Sitting just north of Bears Lagoon and Serpentine – and not far from Inglewood, Wedderburn, Boort, Pyramid Hill, Lockington and Bendigo – it’s one of those proper rustic pub spots! 🌾

Woodfired pizzas, decent coffee, cold beer… yeah nah, sounds like a dangerous combo if you’ve got no self-control! 😆

Construction has officially commenced on the new Serpentine Fire Station, finally giving the local firies a base that’s not stuck in the 1980s.

The crew got together on-site Friday, with CFA brass and long-time captain Neville Cockerell chucking a shovel into the dirt and making it all official.

“This new station will give us the space and facilities we need to modernise and grow,” said, Nev, whose been with the brigade for over 30 years.

“We trained seven new members last year, and having a modern, fit-for-purpose base will help us attract even more people to join,” he added.

“It’ll also give us a place to come together socially, this will help us build an even stronger, more connected brigade.”

The new digs on Treloar Street will have all the bells and whistles, including two appliance bays, separate male/female gear-up rooms, a training space with a kitchen, and a shiny new office.
