Unfortunately tomorrow is forecast to be over 40° and the island will be unbearably hot, not to mention the punt operator will be roasted and it's likely to be a total fire ban day....
Herring Island Gallery and
Summer Arts Festival will be
Closed on
Sunday 2nd February
Don't go there until next weekend when hopefully it will be cooler
Dear Info Centre,
For your information.
The CFA has declared tomorrow a day of total fire ban with a “Very High” fire danger rating for Central District.
Due to the predicted excessive heat please note the Herring Island Punt Service will not be operating this Sunday 2nd February.
This is in recognition of staff working on board
the Punt having little relief from the heat as well as the Basket Makers
of Victoria volunteers operating throughout the day.
An information board will be placed at Como Landing to advise of these arrangements.
Regards, Peter Teesdale
