Wild Wednesday warning
The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting a max temperature of 41 degrees tomorrow.
The warm weather will be accompanied by a potential dust storm and winds, spelling out a really dangerous day for grass fires starting and asthmatics.
With this in mind, it is imperative that you do everything possible to stay safe, hydrated and alert on days like this.
When hot weather arrives we are more prone to seeing snakes, as we have in recent time, this also goes for fires, another thing we have been exposed to recently with hot weather.
As well as these issues, there is always the very real chance of breathing difficulties and attacks for asthmatics during dust storms or high pollen count days.
Thompson returns to Ramland
Deni Rams footballing legend, Colin Thompson, has been announced as the club's reserves coach for the 2025 season.
Thompson is a five time senior premiership player with the club, club best-and-fairest, Rams senior games record holder and an inter-league representative.
This is a massive ‘get’ for the club and the reserves side in particular, who were only a kick away from premiership glory this year.
Players and club people alike will be keen to see where the reserves end up under Thompson’s guidance.
The club also thanked outgoing reserves coach Shane Werner for his time at the helm.
