A beautiful, sunny 29 degree day.
Full weather report here.
Looks like it's all running smoothly in both directions this morning.
It was a quiet night in the city last night, with no news to report from Bendigo Police or Bendigo CFA.
Earlier in the day, a Kerang woman had a lucky escape when a farmer's rake became embedded in her windshield. Full story here.
It's a huge weekend for our photographers and journalists.
We'll be out snapping lots of photos and chatting to people at the Harcourt Applefest, the Elmore BnS, the Bendigo Maker's Market and the Maldon Campdraft.
We're also heading out to the 2014 Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria Urban Championships for CFA volunteers, taking place all weekend at Weerona Oval.
Lots to choose from if you're looking for something to do today!
