Carols by Candlelight to light up Queens Gardens THIS Sunday Shepparton’s Queens Gardens will light up with tinsel, Christmas lights, carols, and cheer for Carols by Candlelight. Last year’s event was moved online, but in 2021, the beloved event returns at 6.30pm. Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Cr Kim O’Keeffe said this year’s event promised an exciting program of performers. “For newcomers to the event, the audience will be amazed to experience this year’s carols and talented local performers, keeping everyone entertained all night,” Cr O’Keeffe said. “This is the perfect opportunity to relax with your family and friends and enjoy everything that represents Christmas and to welcome in the New Year. If you are unable to join us on the evening then don’t fear on missing out, Carols will also be available to watch online through Council’s website and social media.” Continued Page 4 CAROLS THIS SUNDAY...

DRIVING ON COUNTRY ROADS Driver Fatigue
• Fatigue is one of the greatest contributors to road trauma • Modern cars with their quiet running systems, comfortable seating and long stretches of straight dual lane highways, can contribute to fatigue. • To combat fatigue, take regular breaks and stop at least every two hours • Get out of the car, stretch your legs, check out the scenery and let your eyes re-focus • Take a 15-minute power nap if you feel like yourself becoming drowsy • Don’t drive when you would normally be sleeping
