❌ VICTORIA POLICE COMMUNITY SAFETY ADVICE ❌
🌧️ **Flooding and Dangerous Road Conditions Across Victoria** 🌧️
Victoria Police is urging all motorists and members of the community to exercise extreme caution as heavy rainfall continues to impact many parts of the state.
Roads can become flooded with little warning, and even shallow water can hide serious hazards including damaged road surfaces, debris, potholes, and strong currents.
**Remember: If it's flooded, forget it.**

Drivers are reminded to:
🚔 Slow down and increase your following distance.
🚔 Never drive through floodwaters, regardless of how shallow they may appear.
🚔 Obey all road closure signs and emergency service directions.
🚔 Turn on your headlights when visibility is reduced by rain.
🚔 Check local road and weather conditions before travelling.
🚔 Avoid unnecessary travel in areas affected by flooding.
Parents are also urged to ensure children stay away from flooded creeks, drains, rivers and waterways, as fast-moving water can be extremely dangerous.

Emergency services are continuing to respond to weather-related incidents across Victoria. Your patience and cooperation help keep everyone safe.
If you encounter an immediate danger to life, call **Triple Zero (000)**.

**Stay informed. Stay alert. Stay safe.**
*Victoria Police* 🚔

⚠️ PLEASE TAKE NOTE OVER THIS LONG WEEKEND ⚠️
Important information below from Victoria Police

Winter has arrived in Victoria, which means shorter days, wet roads and mysteriously fewer Melbourne supporters at the MCG.

If you’re heading away this King’s Birthday long weekend, take extra care behind the wheel.

Changing road conditions can catch drivers out quickly - slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, avoid distractions and never drive impaired.

And if you’re heading to the snow, make sure you’re carrying and fitting wheel chains when required.

❗️With the cold, wet weather setting in, many will be turning to their clothes dryer. Always remember to check the lint filter, as lint can build up quickly and cause issues that are easily preventable.

🎋Neale Daniher - 1961 to 2026
What an inspiring man and true legend! He fought a tough battle. Rest in peace, and heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends.

: AFL great Neale Daniher has died aged 65 after years leading the fight against motor neurone disease.

Daniher's family have remembered him as "a fighter" in a statement, who chose "every day to find opportunity where others might see only challenge, and taking the fight to the Beast with everything he had."

Through FightMND and the Big Freeze, Daniher became a national force for MND fundraising and research, driving Australia's push for a cure.
