Olympic action comes home

Forget Rio – Greater Dandenong is the place to be for Olympics action.
The council and YMCA joined forces to offer residents the chance to try new sports at leisure centres across the municipality.
Springers Leisure Centre in Keysborough hosted a basketball session for aspiring Boomers and Opals on Thursday 11 August.
Water polo and synchronised swimming, badminton, swimming, athletics and triathlon events are still to come.
The Rio Olympics closing ceremony will be shown live on the Harmony Square big screen from 9am on Monday 22 August.
All events are free but bookings are essential.
