Adelaide comedian Marc Ryan, better known as ‘The Beautiful Bogan’, has been performing stand-up comedy for the past 10 years.

With 4 and 1/2 star reviews from The Adelaide fringe shows he has written, Marc has performed alongside Wil Anderson, Adam Hills, Dave Hughes, Fiona O’Laughlin, and toured New Zealand with American comedian Kevin Tate.

Over the past 4 years, Marc has been a mission to explore his lived experience of mental illness in his comedy shows. Marc’s aim is to normalise the conversation around mental health and importantly, let men know they are not alone in their mental health struggles. He’s not afraid of getting vulnerable and opening up about his personal experiences, if it can help another person feel less alone.

His mission is to change one life at a time. Catch him at the Star Hotel Yackandandah this Saturday. This event is recommended for 18+.

Have you spotted this mural in Yackandandah?

Located in the laneway between Gum Tree Pies Yackandandah and Buddha Shop, this mural adorns the wall of what once was the old petrol station.

The petrol station was a proper old-school motor garage, located smack-bang in the centre of town, run by a man called, fittingly, Jack Holden.

Interestingly, the sign on the side of the building verandah (still visible) reads "Petrol 70.5". That sounds like a good price, but it`s even better when you realize that the price was probably 70.5 cents per gallon.

Looking for a family friendly activity this school holidays?

Dive into the rich gold mining history of Yackandandah and try your luck at panning for gold. Yackandandah is rich in gold mining history and owes its creation to the discovery of gold in 1852. Alluvial gold was the main source of gold found and tent cities were a feature of the landscape as miners tried their luck in the creeks surrounding Yackandandah.

A popular spot to pan for gold is known as The Junction, where Clear Creek and Nine Mile Creek merge into Yackandandah Creek.

Anyone who wishes to prospect in any form within Victoria must be in possession of a Miners Right. Under 18 year olds do not need a miners right as long as they are in the direct company and supervision of an adult who holds a current miners right.

Stop by the Yackandandah Visitor Information Centres to purchase a Miners Right and grab some tips from a local on where to head.

Time to make some golden memories! 🌟
