Straight to the Heart of it.

Thanks to Ambulance Victoria, Clunes will have a new lifesaver (defibrillator) in town. In fact, we'll soon have two. One located at the driveway entrance of Clunes Neighbourhood House (near the ramp) which will be installed tomorrow thanks to the Clunes Men's Shed. On Friday, they will install a second defibrillator at the Clunes Bowling Club.
