More than six years on, Rodney Marchant’s photo of the Boort Church of Christ still captures its quiet, timeless beauty. ⛪️

He’s perfectly caught the stillness and character of this small-town landmark – a shot that reminds us how much history these old buildings hold. 📸

Crowds filled the pavilion at the Boort Show this afternoon, with organisers proud to see such strong community support.

Sharon and Jess, who helped coordinate the day, said the turnout showed that while Boort may be a regional show, it has a huge heart.

They thanked everyone who entered across the many classes and sections, as well as the judges, head stewards, junior stewards, and pavilion security who kept things running smoothly.

With the pavilion now packed up and ready for next year, organisers said they were heading home weary but immensely grateful for everyone who made the day a success.

Arnold Family Butchers in Boort has just scored global acclaim, taking out Grand Champion in Germany for their hickory and peppercorn bacon, plus a bronze for their boneless ham. Owners Christie and Jay Arnold say the win is a proud reward for years of hard work and quality craftsmanship.

Locals have long backed the shop for its top-tier snags, schnitzels, and scotch fillets – all proudly made from expertly prepared parts of dead animals. With many country towns losing their butchers, this win isn’t just a personal victory – it’s a win for Boort.

Boort GrainCorp’s siding has been significantly upgraded, now extending to 840 meters with the addition of a new 400-meter siding to accommodate longer, heavier 50-wagon freight trains.

As part of V/Line’s annual maintenance program, three culverts beneath the tracks have also been upgraded.

According to Public Transport Victoria, these improvements will facilitate the movement of longer, faster, and heavier trains, allowing for more efficient freight transport.

This change aims to reduce road traffic, lower emissions, and improve overall operational efficiency.

For clarity, a siding is a section of track running parallel to the main line, typically used for the loading, unloading, or storage of trains, particularly freight.
