A jury found Spencer Shumski not guilty of murder in the 2023 stabbing death of Clint Allen in Sale, Victoria:
#gippsnews
Clint Allen was fatally stabbed outside a Sale hotel in May 2023 after a night out celebrating his wife's birthday. Allen was described as a beloved husband, father, and grandfather. Shumski told friends he had done "something terrible" and sent messages to them saying he expected to go to jail. He told his parents he was on his way to meet a friend when he was "rushed" by a group of people. The jury was discharged, and it's not clear when the case will return to the Supreme Court. Shumski maintains his not guilty plea.

Mural by Melanie Caple at Station Laneway, 42 Commercial Street, Korumburra in South Gippsland, Victoria. #gippsnews
This huge mural depicts local native birds and botanicals. It deliberately showcases small native birds - firstly as a reference to the regions coal mining history and its reliance on canaries and secondly the absence of small birds indicating issues with a changing climate. The featured birds are a double-barred finch, flame robin, silver-eye, golden whistler and a red-browed finch, which are all found in the Korumburra region. Flora represented includes gladioli blooms, ginkgo leaves, native mountain ash and local grevillea species. This huge mural depicts local native birds and botanicals.

The largest truck and motorcycle convoy in the Southern Hemisphere has rolled into action!

For 20 years it's raised funds for children facing every family's worst nightmare. #gippsnews
The big rigs and bikes are often decorated with banners and flags honouring the kids who've passed... while those who survived... as adults, remain eternally thankful.
