Pancake Day - Yarraman
- Today is Shrove Tuesday (probably now better known as Pancake Day) and it heralds the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday.

Pancake Day celebrations will be held at Heritage House in Millar Street, Yarraman between 10:00am and 1:00pm today. There'll be banana, jam or maple syrup pancakes to enjoy with cream or ice cream. Cost is just $5 and everyone is welcome! More details from Heritage House on (07) 4163-8111. NB.
