Greek Aussies take a plunge for a blessed year
The port of Melbourne was packed with swimsuit-clad Greeks-Australians and Greek-enthusiasts alike to commemorate the Greek Orthodox holiday of Theophania , or Holy Epiphany, on Sunday.
As part of the holiday celebration known as 'the blessing of the waters', a cross is thrown into the water while eager divers jump into the sea to retrieve it for good luck throughout the coming year. Afterwards, people engaged in more festivities including music and dancing.
Melbourne and Sydney, in addition to New York, Boston, London and Toronto, host some of the largest Greek diasporas today.

Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton - Greater Shepparton

The Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton uses Australian native plants in themed gardens designed to represent the cultural, environmental, historical and agricultural characteristics of Greater Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley.
The garden designs depict the story of change. The garden themes follow a timeline and are revealed to visitors as they walk along the pathways. Each themed garden, many still to be constructed, is described in this section, and also shown on the Master Plan.
The site consists of native grassy bushland, wetlands, and a 7 hectare, 30 metre-high reclaimed landfill area with a lookout on top. This provides an expansive view of the local landscape and forms a significant landmark on the outskirts of the city, adjacent to the Goulburn and Broken Rivers.
Location - The Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton is located in Kialla Tip Road, off Riverview Drive. (Turn off from the Goulburn Valley Hwy at Riverside Plaza.)
Opening Hours - The Gardens are open every day, all day. Please park your vehicle at the gated area at the end of Kialla Tip Road and walk in.
Cycling Areas in the Gardens - Bicycles can be ridden on the lower areas around the base of Honeysuckle Rise and on the crushed brick paths through the native bushland areas. Please dismount if you wish to walk to the top of Honeysuckle Rise.
No Dogs Policy - Please adhere to this policy. Should you wish to exercise your dogs in Shepparton there are many shared pathways along the Goulburn River and an off-leash dog park in Paterson Road.
A Master Plan for the site has been prepared. It guides the development of the themed gardens across the top of Honeysuckle Rise as well as the plantings and pathways which wind through the natural bushland areas.
The guiding principles for the development of the Gardens are:
•Local themes
•Use of Australian plants
•Community involvement
•Sustainability
•Appreciation of our rivers
•Use of local materials
•Tourism
•Healthy lifestyles
•Accessibility
•Public art
Development is taking place according to budgeted funds available from Council.

Transcript:
---------------
Joel Crean: It seems the GV is home to plenty of Tough Mudders. Dozens from around our region were in Phillip Island for the gruelling event last month, including a group representing Aquamoves. Our reporter Brendan Savage has been following their progress throughout, and went to see how the team managed the course.
Brendan Savage: It's been more than a week since locals Jacinta Cosgriff and Matt McDowall took on Tough Mudder at Phillip Island, and they're still on a high. The pair were part of a 22-strong team who trained for several months at Aquamoves, to get in tip-top shape for the rigorous 20 kilometre assault course. It was designed by British Special Forces, to test strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Jacinta admits she had a few nerves on the morning of the event, but they quickly went away.
Jacinta Cosgriff: Once you started, the adrenaline and endorphins kicked in. And being part of a team, that was just incredible. Twenty-two of us started together and finished together, and people were helping each other, and then you were doing these physical things and at the end you thought Oh my goodness, I've actually done that. I've run 20 k's, and I've climbed things, and I've crawled through things, and I've been zapped, and I've jumped off towers, and I've been covered in mud.
Matt McDowall: Getting through it and doing the whole event, was just, yeah, lots of fun. Bit of a team bonding effort, getting through it all together, not just, like they say as a Tough Mudder, not just a single competitor trying to get to the end, but it's a team effort trying to get everyone across the line, and that's exactly what we had on the weekend, so, lots of fun.
Brendan: The first obstacle the team encountered was called the Arctic Enema, and it's exactly what it sounds like.
Jacinta: I don't like cold at the best of times, and the thought of jumping in this ice-filled bath... Well, what it was, was a shipping container. It was the first one so I thought Good, get it done. I actually jumped in and went under, and you came up [gasps]. It took your breath away, and you had to go under a beam, so bang, again. And that was that, that was it, that was done.
Brendan: But getting through the rest of the course took some teamwork.
Jacinta: Some of the boys could have done that course in half the time, if they were just doing it themselves, but they made sure that we all got through. Everyone knew everyone's strengths and weaknesses. They had a system for hiking the girls over the 10-foot walls. It was a really good bonding experience.
Brendan: The team bonding began back in September, when the Aquamoves training program for Tough Mudder commenced.
Matt: It was just a matter of progressing, and every month we'd have a bit of a test to see how we were progressing ourselves. Just so that we could compete, not with everyone else, but just with ourselves. So we were always thinking Last time I got that; this time I need to do better.
Brendan: Aquamoves manager Lindy Baldi says giving the participants a goal to work towards was key to the program's success.
Lindy Baldi: It was fantastic to watch someone who wasn't even used to exercise at the start, and then achieving something at the end that they've set as a goal has been fabulous. And then to hear the stories along the way of Wow, I've been able to run 13 k's, it's been amazing, is really satisfying.
Brendan: While Jacinta's not sure if she'll take on the next Tough Mudder, it's a case of decision made for Matt.
Matt: I'm already signed up for another Tough Mudder, so, bring on September!
