LITTLE Day Out, the Full Moon Festival and the Dandenong and District Orchid Society Show – it was all happening in Greater Dandenong on Sunday.
And Journal photographer Rob Carew was there to capture all the fun, food and flowers.
Visit www.dandenong.starcommunity.com.au to view his snaps from all three events straightaway and keep an eye on next week’s Journal for a selection of shots.
BE WARNED – birds in Johnston Court, Dandenong South, are rather territorial.
A Journal reporter found this out the hard way when a particularly feisty noisy miner crashed into their head not once, but twice, as they left an interview last week.
WE’RE not sure many Gateway Industries AGM guests were willing to admit they’d spotted the classifieds notice advertising the event.
The disability employment provider’s president Russell Smith brought along a copy to the 21 September event at Dandenong Club for those who missed it, highlighting an adjoining advertisement spruiking “ladies $80 special” and “Club Keys”.
“Our ad is just next door,” he said.
MR SMITH was in good company as he read the candidates for the incoming committee, with many sharing his surname.
“They’re all legit… and were not necessarily related!” he said.
GATEWAY’S accountant asked Rotary Club of Noble Park president Chris Hansen to deliver the organisation’s financial report.
“He told me he was flying out… that really worried me!” he said.
It was just as well no one took up Mr Hansen’s offer to take questions on the report.
“Good, I probably wouldn’t be able to answer it.”
DINNER conversation at the AGM unearthed a rare direct connection to The Beatles.
Liverpudlians Phil Lunt and wife Ann recalled watching the music legends when they were simply another band on an evening line-up at the Cavern Club – and having a chat to them post-show.
Ann even recalled the late Cilla Black taking her coat when she was a cloak room attendant at the club before her big break.
