Little Desert Bushfire Thank You - Community Event on 29 March 2025

Published on 27 February 2025

The Dimboola Soundshell and Recreation Reserve is ‘the place to be’ on Saturday 29 March 2025, and we invite you to join us to recognise and thank emergency services, volunteers and staff for their incredible efforts in controlling and eventually containing the Little Desert bushfire.

The Little Desert Bushfire Community Thank You Event will commence at 6:00pm, with live music performances from ‘Dog and Bass’, followed by ‘Head Rush’ from 7:30pm. Please bring your own chairs or blankets.

The Dimboola Lions Club will be cooking up a storm on the BBQ, with other options available from various food vendors.

There will be a range of activities set up for the entire family including art displays from local school students; firefighting equipment displays from local CFA brigades; Toby’s Sky Tours will be there with powerful telescopes to view the stars; and Hindmarsh Shire Youth Council will have giant games for kids, free popcorn and face painting.

An auction will also be held with all proceeds to be distributed to CFA brigades. Items up for auction include: a helicopter joy flight over the Little Desert, a $200.00 meal and drink voucher for the Victoria Hotel Dimboola and much more!

This community event is free of charge but there will be collection tins available should you wish to donate in support of the CFA.

Due to the anticipated crowd numbers, the road within the Dimboola Recreation Reserve will be closed to through traffic in the vicinity of the Soundshell. People requiring all-abilities parking should contact their local Hindmarsh Shire Council Library & Customer Service Centre to book a parking space.

For more information or if you have any questions, please contact our Community Development Team on, on 03 5391 4444 or email info@hindmarsh.vic.gov.au.
