There were approximately 12 people attended a
community consultation meeting held by the
Council at Dunolly last Thursday to discuss a
proposal for the reconstruction of footpaths along
both sides of Broadway, between Thompson and
Bull Streets.
The proposal is to replicate the footpath style
outside the Post Office. Existing Kurrajong trees
well be retained where possible and decisions on
this will be subject to advice from a tree surgeon.
The paper bark trees will be removed and the
Dunolly Public Places Tree Committee will
investigate a suitable street tree for future
plantings.
Additional street trees will be planted to ensure
Donation: 50c
there is an ongoing tree canopy along Broadway.
Council will investigate the use of aerial bundled
power cables to replace the existing overhead
power lines to help trees to develop their canopy.
It is a very exciting project in terms of
beautification of Dunolly and it is good to have
Council and community working closely together
on this.
It was nice to receive a little bit of follow-up rain
from last week. Some received 6 mls as we did at
Goldsborough, 10 mls in Dunolly and 15mls in
some surrounding locations. It all helps.
Let’s hope come autumn and winter that we get
good runoff this year to fill our dams, that are at
present pretty empty.

ROSIE’S RAMBLE
What a storm on Sunday! I went outside after it passed
over to the east- the sky was a deep grey and there
was a large rainbow. Inside the coloured arch the
forked lightning was leaping about- very spectacular! I
noticed on Sunday on the way to Bendigo that the
stone “animals” out near Waanyarra have acquired a
bright new coat of paint. There is a huge new sign on
Murderers Hill too. Let the sign thieves try to move
that. The phone rang at almost 8.30 the other nightthought it would be a friend or relative at that time of
night. No – it was someone doing a survey for the
Goldfields Council! I’m afraid I asked him to ring back
as I was watching Q.I. and nothing stops that. He said
he would the next day- but he didn’t, so the Council
missed out on my wisdom on whatever the survey was
about. Who owns the strip of land between the “good
bye from so and so Shire” and “welcome to next door
Shire” signs? Once upon a time I was able to ignore the
railings up the side of stairs. In my mature middle years
they have assumed a new importance. It is sort of
comforting to have something to cling on to if
necessary or something to touch lightly for reassurance. Much better than doing a high dive with
pike down a set of steps. The Rambles went shopping
for a new toaster the other day – the old one has taken
to toasting one side of the bread at a time. The range
of toasters available is amazing as is the range of
prices. You can pay up to over $200 for a machine that
looks as if you need a licence to fly it- or around $20 for
something that basically does the same job without the
really unnecessary bells and whistles. You can toast
four slices at once or two slices on one side or any
combination you want – they all do crumpets and
muffins too. We came home with a moderately priced
stainless steel model that does all of the above. Gadget
of the week – those various coloured squares of plastic
made by Tupperware, will for some unexplained
reason, open just about anything with a lid on. The
inventor should have been awarded some sort of
medal.

THE WELCOME RECORD
BEALIBA CWA UPDATE
We’re back! And what a busy few weeks it’s been.
First, the branch hosted Australia Day and since then
we’ve had our first meeting of the month plus the East
Wimmera Group Conference which was held in Bealiba
last Saturday. With forty women in attendance it was
embarrassing (to say the least) that there was no water
to flush the toilets and buckets had to be carried in.
Yes, this is the country, and we coped but it was far
from ideal. Two portaloos eventually arrived but as
they were on a trailer, they couldn’t be accessed unless
you were particularly spry. Time for the buck passing
to stop and for some action to be taken to rectify this
disgraceful situation.
On a more positive note, Mrs Betty Lovel – a branch
stalwart – was named Bealiba’s Citizen of 2015 and she
was warmly congratulated by members on achieving
this well-deserved honour. The Lovels continue to be in
the news, with daughter-in-law, Jenny, being
presented with her CWA Certificate. Well done ladies.
There is a busy year ahead for members with Bealiba
celebrating its 80th birthday in July. Celebrations are
planned and there will be more information about the
arrangements as we get closer to the date. To mark
this significant milestone we are going to make a
patchwork quilt which will have a rural theme. It’s
hoped all members will complete a block for the quilt
which will then be displayed in the hall. Many thanks
to Yvonne Best for all the poppies she has knitted.
These have been made into a lovely wreath by Betty
with the words “Lest we Forget’ on a purple sash. It
looks spectacular and it will be used on Anzac Day
2015. Thanks also, Yvonne, for all the knitted squares
which have been made into knee rugs suitable for both
male and female. When I see what our members
produce for others, I’m always reminded of the quote
– hands that help are more worthy than lips that pray.
Each year the CWA of Victoria has a Thanksgiving Fund
which raises up to $22,000 from branch donations. This
money is then presented to the organization members
have voted for. The options for 2016 were the
Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation, National Stroke
Foundation or the Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Association. All are very worthy causes and when the
votes are collated, the winner will be announced at a
later date. Some highlights from State Vice President,
Mrs Sandra Webb’s address to members on Saturday:
2,000 CWA tea towels and 622 of the Association’s
new cook book were sold at last year’s Melbourne
Show. There is also a new tea towel coming out to
commemorate the 100th anniversary of the landing at
Gallipoli. It will feature a soldier along with a recipe for
Anzac biscuits. Headquarters are also thinking about
Volume 30 Issue 5 Page 3
having a “ Show Bag” of CWA goods on sale at next
year’s show.
Considerable time was taken at the conference
deciding when and where our Fun Day for 2015 would
be held as well as the date for the next Group Craft
Day. With two new night branches in our Group, and
so many of their members working, it was decided to
try and run some activities on a Saturday.
Consequently, the Fun Day will be held in St. Arnaud on
Saturday 13 June and will take the form of skits from
the branches in the morning, followed by a lunch
consisting of soup and sandwiches and a film in the
afternoon. The Group Craft Day will be on Tuesday
24 March in St. Arnaud. On offer are a flat bottomed
basket, a felt mouse pin cushion or a Ballerina Bag.
Dates for the Diary:
Tuesday 3 March, Craft Group St .Arnaud at 10.00am
Thursday 19 March. Craft at 10.30am, Branch Meeting
at 1.00pm

CYCLISTS
Sunday 15 February, saw nine of us, in spite of what
was obviously going to be a blistering hot day, head off
by car to McIntyre and Brian and Glynis Cain’s home
and the start of the 15 Km bush ride, rough (in places),
hilly but most interesting.
We all made it in various stages of exhaustion to be
revived by cool drinks, magnificent salads provided by
Glynis, to go with our barbeque; all whilst resting and
chatting on the shady veranda, greatly enjoyed by all.
The next ride on 1 March will be in the Dunolly region
and mainly on secondary roads suitable for road bikes,
starting as usual from “Wright on Broadway”. The time
will be in the next Welcome Record when we have a
better idea of the weather. All welcome.

DOG ATTACK
A vicious dog attack left a trail of destruction across
two Dunolly properties last week; numerous sheep and
a baby alpaca were killed.
Two dogs have since been positively identified as responsible for the attack; they have been surrendered
to Central Goldfields Shire rangers by their owner.
The savage attack occurred on Monday 9 February on
two neighbouring properties on the outskirts of Dunolly. It left some stock with limbs ripped from their
bodies and others with gaping flesh wounds.
On one of the properties two adult alpacas and one
baby alpaca were severely injured. The baby alpaca has
since died.
On a neighbouring property fronting the Avoca Road, a
flock of sheep was attacked and at least eight of them
died or had to be put down as a result. Their owner,
Greg Streeter, feared others would not survive.
Many of those that survived were expected to have
been so severely injured in the incident that they
would lose significant market value.
“There were 72 all up and only about 18 or so that
haven’t been touched,” Mr Streeter said. “They’ll go
from being $150 lambs down to $40 two-tooths.
Shire ranger Graham Fletcher said the dogs responsible
– a blue heeler cross and a wolfhound cross had been
seen by the owner of the alpacas during the incident.
“We’ve now got the dogs. They have been positively
identified and the dogs’ owner has surrendered them,”
Mr Fletcher said. “It’s the right thing to do. It’s the responsible thing he’s done in coming forward.”
Mr Fletcher said the incident served as a reminder to
dog owners of the need to keep their animals properly
secured.

“Just make sure your dogs are secured in a good yard,”
he said. “Dogs will attack stock, especially when there’s
more than one of them and dogs will also travel long
distances in rural areas.”
Shire rangers believe it is possible that last week’s
attack may be linked to an earlier stock attack that occurred in the same locality on Australia Day.

EARTH BOUND
"I wish I could fly away like you," Josie said. A gust of
wind made the balloon nod as if in agreement.
"I know what you mean." Her brother, Samuel, cast a
cool gaze over proceedings. "We all want to leave at
some stage. Wanderlust was born into our family;
always reaching for the unattainable, never happy with
our lot."
Josie was goaded by this statement. "Is that so? Tell
me - how can I be content with the current state of
affairs? All those experiences - one time only, never to
be repeated. All my favourite things taken from me; to
suffer some truly terrible recrimination for crimes
unspoken. Punishment without judge or jury."
Samuel, unflappable as always, paused and tapped a
finger on his chin. "Or ... in your case, you could take
the opposite approach: anticipate the new things to
come. Vivid episodes previously undreamt of and not
considered in a past life. You are unrestrained in mind
and your spirit is undiminished. You know, in yourself,
that great achievements and adventures are still within
your grasp."
Josie favoured him with a crooked grin. "How did you
get to be so wise, brother?"
Samuel shrugged. "I am older than you - that is all."
Josie returned her attention to the multi-coloured
helium balloon, hoisted it above her head and allowed
it to escape. It charted a spiral course into the heavens.
"Bye," she simply said
They followed it until their retinas failed to register the
tiny dot in all that immensity. Yet another balloon cast
adrift like a message in a bottle, only with no hope of
ever receiving a reply - no hope of ever having a wish
granted.
"Do you feel better now?" Samuel enquired
"Yes, I see the soaring blueness and the totality of
everything beneath."
She closed her eyes and imagined her upward
migration, letting go. In her mind's eye, she felt herself
being stretched thinly across the ponderous turning of
the world. Meshing hemispheres, adopting the
nitrogen glow of the planet, embracing the
encompassing circularity of the sky, ocean, earth.
She revelled in the experience for a few moments
longer. Life affirming actions such as this were more
important now than ever.
Volume 30 Issue 5 Page 5
Samuel waited respectfully and then asked, "Shall we
go?"
"Yes." Josie smiled at him and eased off the brake.
Samuel tightly gripped the handles and with a
deliberate stride pushed Josie's wheelchair along the
path and toward home.

THREE BRIDGES
One of the first picnic spots we were shown when we
moved to Dunolly was Three Bridges. We often fished
there. As the children grew older we frequently took
them to swing off the rope which seemed always to
hang from one of the sturdy branches overhanging the
swimming hole. In those days the water was constantly
flowing over the two low concrete bridges. Introduced
trees lining the river bank prevented access to the
water in places and were threatening to take over the
area. An old wooden bridge was the only way into the
spot. However it was very dilapidated and was soon
replaced with a sturdy concrete one slightly
downstream.
Last Sunday was the first time I had visited the spot for
nearly twelve years. It was as lovely as I remembered,
but slightly changed. All the introduced trees have gone
so access to the water is much easier now. Reed beds
are growing where there were none. Anglers were
enjoying the shady gums and easy access to the water
to put their rods into the river, though all we saw pulled
in was a solitary yabby.
No water was running over the concrete bridges, but it
was flowing swiftly over rocks, mesmerising us. The
flood seems to have changed the river banks a little and
put debris high in tree branches. The old wooden
bridge has lost all its side rails and decking. Now just
the stark framework is left displaying the huge pieces of
timber used in its construction many years ago. They
were probably all man handled into place.
Abundant birdlife has always thrived along this stretch
of the river. Marion took a lovely photo of a waterhen,
and during our visit the birdsong never stopped. With
plenty of blackberries growing on inaccessible parts of
the banks many of the birds will have a feast soon.

As you drive down the dip to the river the temperature
drops several degrees which makes it a welcoming spot
in hot weather. Often, before we had air conditioning, I
would take a carload of children, a dog and a book out
to Three Bridges. The dog would sniff happily,
the children would swing out on the rope and I would
read. It was great. We would all come home refreshed,
even the dog. Last Sunday all the anglers would have
returned home refreshed too. That is the attraction of
lovely natural places. We all need them to help us
unwind and reconnect with nature.

MOLIAGUL MOMENTS
Went to put my runners on a few days ago - they live at
the backdoor, along with the thongs and gumboots –
when I saw movement in one of them. Didn’t exactly
run screaming when a scaly head appeared but I did
take a step backwards. The lizard, quite a large one,
seemed disinclined to move, and as I wasn’t about to
drag it out, I fetched DD (husband) - they do have their
uses! Husband informs me ‘It won’t bite’. Said I
required that in writing, retreated indoors and left the
man of the house to deal with the situation. Mission
accomplished in next to no time – raw, minced meat
tempted the intruder to move residence - and I was
able to reclaim my shoe.
This incident put me in mind of something the late
Margaret Henley (we so do miss Margaret and Richie)
told me several years ago. She said she was driving
home from Dunolly when she saw a big goanna emerge
from the carcass of a dead kangaroo lying on the side
of the road. Presumably, it had been feeding on the
kangaroo and she said it was the most macabre thing
she’d ever seen. Now that might well have induced a
fit of screaming from yours truly – or, at the very least,
a shriek.
A few days after my encounter with the lizard, I was in
the Library Bus looking for a field guide on reptiles, so I
could determine what sort of a lizard it was and I
related the story to Pam (Librarian). She said she’d
seen a snake curled up in a sandshoe so I guess it’s a
salutary tale – look before you leap!
Tremendous sound and light show on Sunday night at
Moliagul. Neighbour rang and said, ‘it looked like it
was bucketing down over your place.’ Said we’d
thought the same thing about their property.
Unfortunately, neither was true: us -1mm, them 1.5mm. Hopefully, someone in the district was more
fortunate.

SUMMER SAFE DRIVING
HEALTH ASSESSMENT
Victoria Police is committed to road safety over the
holiday period as a part of our road policing
enforcement campaigns. Our ‘Summerstay’ road
policing campaign is part of a nation-wide policing
effort. At a local level, the road campaign aims to
reduce trauma among vulnerable road users
throughout across all metropolitan and regional areas.
During the summer holiday period there is an increase
in road trauma linked to end of year celebrations, long
distance travel and warmer weather. We are asking all
members of the community using the roads to stay
alert, stay within the speed limit, stay awake, stay so
remember and stay alive.
The operation covers our official holiday road toll
period. It is coordinated by the Australia New Zealand
Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA) and sees police
from across Australia target the major causes of
accidents on our roads - alcohol, drugs, speed, fatigue,
distraction and holiday driving.
Road Policing experts have been working hard to assist
in the planning and delivery of this campaign and you
may see increased police presence around conducting
PBT (Preliminary Breath Test) sites and vehicle
intercepts. Victoria Police will continue to work
tirelessly to drive down the road toll and build on the
successes of past campaigns.
In keeping with the theme of the ‘Summerstay’
campaign, we will stay committed to road safety and
make sure that road users stay safe this holiday period.

erode bone density.
The Stroke Risk Analysis is a cuff based measurement
with advanced software heart tracings providing
arterial elasticity, and central heart (aortic) pressures
indicating level of risk of cardiac events ie stroke.
Lifestyle factors play a part and even just a family
history of early cardiac event can be reason enough to
be assessed.
Both tests are non invasive and serve as useful tools in
conjunction with your GP. Early detection is valuable as
results identified as out of range can often be reversed.
Providing these services in the pharmacy conveniently
provides easy access without travel to regional centres.
Many conditions can develop with age and other
factors occurring. Having these tests is the only way of
knowing, and least of all providing "peace of mind".
A referral is not required.
Appointments are 15 minutes, which includes the
scan / analysis, immediate hard copy printout, and an
educational component. The cost is $30/test, or $50
for both.
To make an appointment, please phone 5468 1544

If you think Sunday night’s storm was a little scary here’s one from the past that had quite an impact on
Dunolly: Horsham Times Wed. 31st December 1909
STORM AT DUNOLLY
WHOLESALE WINDOW SMASHES
A storm which occurred at Dunolly on Tuesday
evening did considerable damage, but fortunately the
area affected was narrow, about a mile and a half in
width. To the west of the town the gardens suffered
severely; Messrs Downey and Sons losing great
quantities of fruit, as did also Messrs Peters and Sons,
while the tomato garden of Messrs Farquharson
Bros was almost totally destroyed. In the town all the
churches suffered; the Catholic and Presbyterian
escaping with least damage. At St John's Church of
England a large coloured window was riddled and a
number of smaller ones were broken. At Wesley
Church the large window over the entrance was
smashed to atoms; the small windows sharing the
same fate. At the Bendigo Hotel the damage caused
was extensive, and at Messrs Renshaw and Co.'s
establishment the stock was flooded. It is estimated
that over 750 panes of glass were broken.

½ cup extra virgin olive oil
⅓ cup pine nuts or walnuts
3 medium sized garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method
Combine the basil with the nuts and pulse a few times in a

the basil. Add the garlic, pulse a few times more.
Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food
processor is on. Stop to scrape down the sides of the food
processor with a rubber spatula. Add the grated cheese and
pulse again until blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.

PRESCHOOL KITCHEN RENO REVEAL
A gleaming new kitchen awaited educators and children at the start of term this year! After months of sausage turning, cake baking, raffle spruiking, Blokes'
Night celebrations and endless grant applications, the
Parent Committee proudly unveil the modern, professionally designed and installed kitchen. Peter, Shelley
and the team at Evolution Kitchens Maryborough
worked tirelessly with us to complete the renovation
before the start of our new preschool year. Peter especially has had to work within the parameters of our
very modest budget, and has delivered a superb kitchen that will not only stand the test of time, but will allow our teaching staff to efficiently run their healthy
eating program for many years to come.
We would like to thank all the Dunolly community
members who have helped us achieve this thrilling
goal, especially the blokes who attended our successful
Blokes' Nights Out at the Bowling Club and Royal Hotel,
and to the parents who went that extra mile on our
fundraising days. A very special shout-out to Melissa
Freemantle, whose drive and commitment to this project saw it reach this wonderful outcome. Without
Melissa's dedication, Trish and Desley would still be
using a kitchen stuck in the 1980s. Thanks also to our
fundraising co-ordinator, Lucinda Martin, for all those
early morning starts and late nights.
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________
Thanks must also be sent to FRRR, the Central Goldfields Shire Council, the Lions Club of Maryborough,
and of course to Bob Henderson for his support
throughout. Thanks also to our former grants officer,
Melissa Hoban, for all her intelligent and well thought
out grant applications. Our next step is to source donations or grant monies to pay for a new dishwasher and
electric stove. Any interested philanthropists are kindly
encouraged to get in touch!

NOTHING TO DO
I don’t know what to do today,
Whether to stay at home or whether to play,
There are plenty of jobs that should be done,
But it looks so nice in the sun.
The lounge curtains are quite brown,
They don’t look nice hanging down,
When I bought them they were white.
I could wash them, I just might.
The oven is one big mess,
I could clean that, I guess,
But it’s so full of fat,
I’ll get someone else to do that.
Hubby wants some trousers made shorter,
And I’ve got some sewing for my daughter,
But the thought of sewing makes me sick,
I put it away very quick.
A day in the garden would be fine,
After that have a glass of wine,
But the dog will dig the flowers up,
I never did want that pup.
There’s nothing that really appeals to me,
I’ll think of something, you’ll agree,
I’ll just go back to my comfy bed,
And lay down my sleepy old head.

Who’s this leaning over me?
Just a politician
Wants to know ‘What sort is she?’
Said the politician –
She’s very cute with just one eye
What’s her name? How old am I?
Pretended I was deaf – why shouldn’t I
He’s just a politician –
So what can a Polly do for me?
Any old politician?
I’m in the place I want to be
Blow the politician –
I’ll not offer my paw or do a trick –
Just roll over pretending I’m sick –
I’m as good as him – it’s what I think –
So much for the politician!

DUNOLLY FIELD AND GAME AGM
In December 2014 the club had 77 current
financial members registered on the Field and
Game Australia membership list, consisting of
adult, family, family spouse, junior and subjuniors. All 77 members were sent letters and
nomination forms for the Annual General meeting
to be held on 12 February 2015 at the SES Shed at
7.00pm. These letters were sent 2 weeks prior to
the meeting being held but obviously very
few want to actively contribute to the club, and
others only hold membership as a genuine reason
to own a firearm. Seven members attended the
AGM, and some apologies were received. The
current membership list for February 2015 lists 85
members. The club thanks Mr Brian Watts for
attending to install the Office Bearers for 2015.
The following were elected:
President: Nigel Elston
Vice President: Gordon Chalmers
Secretary: Simon Taylor
Assistant Secretary: Marg Davies
Treasurer: Marg Davies
Membership Officer: Marg Davies
Safety Officers: Brian Rodwell, Lyle Streeter, Nigel

F&GA Delegates: Anyone available to attend

Once again the same people are doubling up to
volunteer and fill positions that someone else
could volunteer to do. The committee have family
commitments and illness at times and a reserve of
other members occasionally could fill in without
leaving the burden on the longstanding
committee. If the club wants to hold successful
shoots, varied and interesting set-ups and stay
financial more members are required to step up
and volunteer.
Note: Monthly meetings will now be held on the

be held on Sunday 22 February starting at 11am:

Many thanks to Jan, Faye and Rhonda who came to
lend a helping hand with the poppy kits on Monday.
We managed to assemble around 50 kits. Some have
wool for knitting and crocheting poppies. Others have
fabric for those who can use a needle and thread. All
kits include instructions/patterns and a piece of green
ribbon for attaching a name to your poppy if you would
like to. If you would like to change or embellish your
poppy in any way please feel free.
We are asking people to sew a safety pin onto the back
of each poppy so we can attach them to a hessian
background.
If anyone has their own pattern and materials please
18 February 2015
make as many as you would like! We only ask that they
be red with a black centre and no bigger than 15 cms.
Poppy kits are available from the Neighbourhood
House, the Welcome Record Office and the craft shop.
Finished poppies can be returned to these places also.
If all the kits were made up we would have 250
poppies!!
There will be a poppy making workshop at the
Neighbourhood House on Monday 2 March at
10.00am. We also need donations of red, green and
black wool and black buttons please!

Head Lice
We have had several cases of head lice reported
already this year. Please check your child’s hair daily
for any lice or eggs.
Please note that it is important to not only treat your

their hair as they can still hatch after the hair has
been treated.

women who carry a little extra weight

Loddon’s Anzac commemorative events
As our municipality gets ready to commemorate the
centenary of the landing at Gallipoli in World War I,
Loddon Shire Council has been working behind the
scenes with an organising committee to ensure this
event is marked in our history books.
In June 2012 Council convened the Loddon Anzac
Centenary Organising Committee with community
representation from the local RSL sub-branches and
historical societies, chaired by the then mayor, Cr Geoff
Curnow. Together with a number of smaller projects,
the committee put forward plans to hold a significant
event for the whole of the Loddon community to
attend. This year, a Shire-wide centenary ceremony
will take place on Friday 24 April at Serpentine, the day
prior to each town’s scheduled Anzac Day services.
The idea behind the ceremony is to mark this day in
honour of the sons and daughters of the Shire who
fought in, died because of, and lived through the First
World War, for their service and sacrifice.
The honourable Tim Fischer AC will speak at the event
and close to 1000 school children will be bussed to
Serpentine from around the Shire and will receive a
specially minted penny to mark the occasion.
A memorial stone from Pyramid Hill with a
commemorative plaque will mark the event and
provide a centrepiece for the ceremony.
An exhibit of World War I artefacts will be on show.
All residents are invited to attend the centenary event.
Along with the event, the organising committee will
continue to work on projects over the next three years
to feature around the Shire.
This year, two of the projects will come to fruition with
a bronze statue of Victoria Cross recipients Albert
Borella and Albert Jacka envisaged for the Soldiers
Memorial Park in Wedderburn. Two books will also be
printed by the Inglewood and Districts Historical
Society, ‘War Tidings’ and ‘Soldier’s Memorial’, which
will be completed before this year’s Anzac Day.
RSVP to the commemorative service is essential for
seating and catering purposes. To RSVP call 5494 1200
or email [email protected] by Friday 20 March.
The hour long service will commence at 10am. Those in
attendance will need to be assembled on site by
9.30am.
Healthy workshop visits Newbridge
This month, the Inglewood and Districts Health Service
will run a Rural Health Day at Newbridge.
Loddon Shire Council is supporting the day, which is
open to men and women of all ages living in Newbridge
and the surrounding areas. The program will offer
18 February 2015
guidance on the best way to live a healthy lifestyle,
with an emphasis on healthy eating and prevention of
chronic illnesses. Inglewood and Districts Health
Service decided to host the event after previous
community consultation saw numerous requests for a
health program to be offered to Loddon residents.
The Rural Health Days will be offered in three other
Loddon communities: Serpentine, Inglewood and
Tarnagulla.
The aim of the Rural Health Day is to raise awareness
that prevention of chronic conditions that are
prevalent in the municipality is better than a cure. It is
hoped men and women of all ages will consider
attending the day.
The first Rural Health Day will take place in Newbridge
on Tuesday 24 February at 7.45am, starting with a
healthy breakfast. The day will finish at 2.30pm and
includes morning tea and lunch.
