Our skyline already stands proud on its own two feet. But here's the latest addition: The Pantscraper.
Daniel Andrews with Dylan Alcott.
You ignored every limitation and you overcame every obstacle.
To our Paralympic heroes – welcome home. #WeBelieve
Take a look at Australia's first self-driving car. Developed right here in Victoria.

If you're one of the 26,000 people who use Thompsons Road every day, you know it's a traffic nightmare.
Well, not for long.
The level crossing will be gone. Nearly 11 kilometres of road will be duplicated. We're not wasting a second.

From tonight, 700 workers will be onsite 24/7 to remove the level crossings at St Albans and Ginifer Stations. It will mean some disruption for local residents, and I'm sorry for that – but it will be worth it in the end.
Two more level crossings will soon be gone and two new stations will stand in their place, 6 months ahead of schedule.
If the worst happens and you or a loved one has a heart attack, you want help from the closest possible emergency responder.
From today, firies with the right training and equipment will be able to respond to heart attack victims to make sure you get the best care, as soon as possible.
The West had a huge win this weekend, and here's another.
Last night, works began to remove three notorious bottlenecks on the M80 – because less time spent in traffic means more time where you'd rather be.

To all the Doggies diehards out there, thanks for letting me join the bandwagon. I'll never forget that Grand Final.
And if Melbourne can back it up in the NRL today, I'll be even happier.
Bring it home, Storm.
...I want to see the Premiership Cup and the Premiership Trophy side-by-side in Victorian hands.
I'm sick of the Liberals attacking penalty rates and I'm sick of the Liberals attacking public holidays.
Before Grand Final Friday kicked off, there was no real long weekend in this half of the year.
Hardworking Victorians and their families deserve a bit of relief – and what better time than the weekend of our greatest sporting spectacle.
...Last year's holiday was a massive success. Tourism boomed across the city and the regions. The parade was the biggest on record – and if the crowds we've seen today are anything to go by, this year will be no different.
Enjoy Grand Final Friday. Stay safe.
24-hour public transport. 24-hour nightlife. And now: 24-hour free Wi-Fi.
30 years ago, Senior Constable Maurice Moore was working late.
It was 2:15 in the morning when he saw two men pushing a car down a Maryborough street, a car he thought may have been stolen.
One of the men soon fled, and the other was detained – but as he radioed the incident in, Senior Constable Moore was overpowered.
...His gun was taken, and he was shot 5 times.
Today, on National Police Remembrance Day, we recognise the ultimate sacrifice made by Senior Constable Moore and 158 other Victorian police officers just like him.
Their stories reveal the very best of us: strength, commitment, integrity.
To them, we say: we will remember you.
Seems I ruffled a few feathers with my last footy post by suggesting Swans fans are out on their own.
To make amends, here's a list of things you'll be able to do this long weekend instead of watching the Swannies get trounced by the mighty Bulldogs.
You'll even be able to drown your sorrows after 10pm, because we're allowed to do that down here.
Meet Malachi. He's deaf and loves to play footy.
And with some help from Ashley, a local Auslan interpreter, he's able to do just that.
He's learning and he's thriving – because people with disabilities should never be second-class citizens.

We're trialling new technology that will help you choose whether to catch the first tram that comes along, or wait for one that might have more space.
Extreme gardening update: 11 months ago, we removed these palm trees so we could protect them while we got rid of three level crossings. Now they're back in place along the Frankston line – healthier and stronger than ever.
