Visit the 'Rocket Park'

The Russell St park is now one of the most popular and highly recommended parks in the whole region.

There’s no secret as to why you should spend an afternoon enjoying its facilities with the whole family.

The park includes a flying fox, climbing net, climbing wall, sand digger, spin point twister, jolly

jeep, rocket ride and nature play equipment.

If that isn’t enough the park also features a BMX pump track, half basketball court and zipline.

The famous refurbished rocket, which gave the park its nickname, is also a popular play spot and a great photo op.

While the kids are running free, parents can sit back and relax with shelters, tables, and barbecue

facilities. A toilet is also located in the park.

An additional visual element has been added to the park thanks to the artistic makeover of the Russell St water tower by artist Cam Scales.

And right next door to the park is the Deniliquin Swim Centre, which boasts three pools, a hydrotherapy pool and a newly installed splash park for all to enjoy.

The famous Scott’s Park rocket in Deniliquin’s west is sure to send your child’s imagination into outer space, while giving you the rest and relaxation you need.

Collectors converge on Deni

Tractors, motorcycles, hot rods and custom and classic cars, plus stationary engines will be featured when the Deniliquin Collector’s Club Spring Rally returns to Deniliquin Memorial Park.

Fans of all things collectable will converge on the showgrounds on September 16 and 17.

Collectables of all sizes and shapes will feature over both days, and a car show ‘n’ shine will be the added feature on Sunday.

Make sure to also stop by and check out the vintage caravans, and feel free to complement the event by coming in your rockabilly costumes.

If you’ve ever wondered how an engine works, this is your chance to find out.

There will be a range of stationary engines on display, and their roar or puttering can be heard

across the grounds all day. Their owners are always happy to tell you more.

Another sound that will echo across Memorial Park will be tractor engines, particularly as the tractors head off on their annual tractor trek.

Leaving at 9am Saturday, those participating will make their way through town to a pre-set location for lunch, before returning their tractors to the display at Memorial Park.

There will be plenty more to see at Memorial Park with the pavilion packed with collectables which in the past have included eskies, model cars, dragon figurines, and guitars and records.

Collector enthusiasts can look forward to a swap site where you buy and sell items, along with stationary displays.

And there will be children’s entertainment for the young ones to enjoy.

Entry to the Spring Rally is $5 per day. Catering will be available on site. For more information, contact Helen on 0488 191  858.

Party on the plains

The famed gates of the Deni Ute Muster on Conargo Rd, Deniliquin will open Thursday, September 28 for early access to the campgrounds. The official action is then held Friday, September 29 and Saturday, September 30.

The musical line-up features some of the country’s biggest names in country and pop music. The Aussie legends gracing the main stages this year are (in alphabetical order): Adam Harvey & Beccy Cole, Andrew Swift, Casey Barnes, Catherine Britt, James Johnston, Jayne Denham, Jessica Mauboy, John Williamson, Lee Kernaghan, Missy Higgins, The Whitlams, Black Stump Band, Travis Collins and Deniliquin artist Zara Lindeman.

But the Deni Ute Muster has always been about more than just music and utes. This year there will be more entertainment than ever before, activities and competitions fit for the whole family will be scattered across the show grounds.

Returning for 2023 are the hugely popular driving competitions, bringing the sights and sounds of supercharged utes competing across the GME Circlework, Just Country Barrel Races and Go to Wo competitions, together with some exciting new attractions.

For the youngest Musterers there’s the Rev It Up Racing Junior Racing Experience, where kids, teens and their parents get to race to see who the fastest driver is in their family.

If speed isn’t your thing, come and experience a Monster Truck Ride and see what it’s like to be a passenger in the back of ‘Bear Foot’ the monster truck.

The team from Black Snake Productions will also be visiting with a huge range of animals in their Mobile Zoo. There will be wildlife talks, venomous snake safety and first aid talks and a chance to get up close and personal with dingoes, possums, bettongs, crocodiles, pythons, lizards, turtles and more. Highly venomous king browns, taipans, tiger snakes, death

adders and others will be safely on display in their new 6m long venomous snake pit.

Another new attraction this year is Whitey’s Ferret Racing. There will be five races each day with prizes up for grabs, and proceeds going to Deniliquin CanAssist.

The Circus Dropzone will give people of all ages a chance to try their hand at trapeze, juggling, unicycling, hula-hoops and more.

Also new for 2023 is ice skating, with a synthetic ice rink to be set up at the muster site, and Bottle & Brush Painting Workshops will be offered to a limited number of patrons. Workshop spots must be prebooked at www.trybooking.com/CGUGW and www. trybooking.com/CGUGU.

For all those grey nomads, and those not so grey, come and catch up on all things Aussie camping, caravanning, 4WD-ing with all-round legend Craig ’Macca’ McGown on the Friday.

For all the littlies, there is some extra special entertainment. Six time Golden Guitar winner and the current Female Artist of the Year Amber Lawrence will be bringing her Kids Gone Country show to the SunRice Day Stage.

The team from the Bendigo LEGO® User Group will be on hand to help create a masterpiece made from thousands of pieces throughout the weekend, and don’t forget to stop by for a bounce with everyone’s favourite characters on the Paw Patrol themed, 12m long jumping castle.

Also making their Muster return this year are the Berkley Supertank, Australia’s Biggest Bogan Bingo, the rock climbing wall and muster sandpit, Peter Hodge Camel Rides, whipcracking, wood chopping, the ARB Bullride Spectacular, the Decentralised Demountables Family Centre and Carnival Corner, the Mini Muster Mobeel Competition and helicopter rides. And that’s just some of the list of things to do. Get your tickets and learn more at www.deniutemuster. com.au

One of the biggest events on the Aussie calendar, the Deni Ute Muster, is offering even more over two days in 2023.

New venue for popular Truck Show

And to make the event even better this year, the community organising committee has partnered with the Rotary Club of Deniliquin.

Now called the Rotary Club of Deniliquin’s Deniliquin Truck Show & Industry Expo, it will be hosted in Deniliquin on Saturday, October 28.

And it’s not just the name and organising committee that’s new this year.

The event will move to the Deniliquin Racing Club on Racecourse Rd, Deniliquin.

The same format will be used for the event, with the Deniliquin Truck Show & Industry Expo committee still hosting its Deniliquin & District Wall of Fame Dinner on Friday, October 27 and a memorial service at the north Deniliquin Davidson Street Rest Stop on Sunday, October 28.

Saturday’s expo being delivered in partnership with Rotary will include trade sites, children’s

entertainment, truck and motorbike show ‘n’ shines, a monster auction and more.

Truck Show committee president John Creenaune said the Deniliquin Truck Show & Industry Expo should be on the ‘must see’ list for anyone with an interest in the transport industry.

“We’re more than a truck show,” he said.

“Because we’re an industry expo, we attract a lot of leading people from all different elements of the industry to the event.

“We also have the enforcement bodies attend to provide information and speak with those attending.

“Our event really highlights and celebrates the importance of the transport industry to rural communities.”

For more information about the Truck Show, go to www.denitruckshow.com.au.

It’s one of the country’s most important sectors, and every year Deniliquin and district celebrates the transport industry with a three-day event.

Fun on the river

As the weather warms up in spring, and leading into our hot summers, use of the river ramps up.

But you don’t have to dip a toe in to actually enjoy this river.

You can easily take in its beauty by following the Beach to Beach Walk from McLean Beach in the town’s west to Willoughby’s Beach in the east. It takes you past the Deniliquin CBD, to beautiful sitting areas, sculptures and through the Deniliquin Island Sanctuary.

Whether you seek adrenalin pumping action in your speed boat or wake boat, or prefer a more passive experience in a houseboat, canoe or kayak the beautiful Edward River has it all.

The Edward River, shores lined with giant river red gums, winds through Deniliquin offering a relaxing and peaceful experience for visitors.

The river around Deni is divided into a ski zone and a no-ski zone,

so whether you want a peaceful connection or a wild ride, the Edward River has it for you.

Downstream of McLean Beach is the ski zone, and upstream of McLean Beach is the no-ski zone best suited for fishing, houseboats and canoeing.

McLean Beach is also a popular swimming location, where you will find barbecue and bathroom facilities.

It is the spot to be for a full day of water activities. There’s also a public boat ramp and plenty of parking spots available.

Willoughby’s Beach is ideal for swimming, camping, fishing and ‘floating’ – jump on the floating device of your choice and let the river take you to McLean Beach.

Sandy beaches and shady trees complete the little piece of paradise you will find at Willoughby’s, which is located inside the Murray Valley Regional Park.

The beach is also pet friendly meaning you can bring your pooch along for a swim.

Boat ramps

There are five public boat ramps in Deniliquin, and one located further out of town at Benarca Bend.

Public boat ramps in Deniliquin:

• Sloane Street Boat Ramp, Sloane Street, Deniliquin

• Harfleur Street Boat Ramp, Harfleur Street, Deniliquin

• McLean Beach Boat Ramp, Butler Street, Deniliquin

• Twin Rivers Boat Ramp, Riverina Highway, Deniliquin

• Lawson Syphon Boat Ramp, Lawson Syphon Road, Deniliquin

• Benarca Bend Boat Ramp, Stevens Weir Road, Deniliquin

Check the latest boat ramp information on the RMS website.

At the heart of Deni is the Edward River (Kolety) – a place of natural beauty that’s home to well-loved beaches, swimming spots, boat ramps, long stretches to explore by kayak, and plenty of places to throw in a line in search of Murray Cod.

With touches of Hollywood, trucking and transport, Australian motoring, rescue vehicles and cars from all around the world, The Depot is full of nostalgia and discovery.

The Depot has grown around the historic vehicle and memorabilia collections of Neville and Debbie Purtill and the Purtill family.

“This is a collection of vehicles that we love, that we’ve named and that tell a story.

“Our dream was to take the collection out of dusty sheds and create an ever-evolving space where history can be experienced and enjoyed,” said Mr Purtill.

Throughout The Depot you are invited to reminisce and discover new stories of life at home and on the road.

Located on the first floor adjacent to the mezzanine is the unique, purpose-built function facility, The Cadillac Room. Providing an ideal backdrop and flexible layout for a variety of functions. This versatile

function space is an ideal corporate setting, complete with the latest audio-visual technology.

After you have taken a trip down memory lane upon exiting you will find a shop filled with merchandise, giftware and memorabilia to purchase.

If you can’t decide on the day, you can hit the shop button on the website https://www.depotdeni.com.au and it will take you directly to the online store.

If you find you are hungry or thirsty after all your adventures at The Depot, you will find the Cruizin* Diner just next door.

You can choose from an extensive menu of food and drinks including an all-day breakfast menu and there is an indoor kids play zone to keep the children busy.

Entry to The Depot is $17.50 for adults, $14 for children (6-17 years) and $14 for concession/seniors. A family ticket, for two adults and three children, is $45.

Explore Deniliquin's history

The Deniliquin and District Historical Society Museum displays some of the REGION’S oldest treasures in the freshest ways.

The society intricately explores the rich and complex history of Deniliquin, with an original and authentic flair that will help even the most reluctant of tourists feel at home.

When you drop in to the Macauley St museum, you never know what to expect. You may even catch an eyeful of some old bloomers. Yes, on purpose.

The ladies of the historical society have been known to dress up in historical clothing to welcome tourists. While the costumes don’t always make an appearance, members always welcome their guests with genuine enthusiasm and an open mind.

Often if you visit, you will be invited to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea with society members, many of whom lived through the events on display throughout the museum.

“We have a core group of volunteers that are always there,” member Meg Christian said.

“It’s the friendliness of the volunteers that makes people come back.

“When visitors come in, they are always welcomed, they are shown around, and if they have any particular interests, we point them out to what’s specific to them.

“Most of our members are elderly, and some of them have lived in Deniliquin all their lives.

“So they have a lot of history just in their heads - if you’re interested to sit down and have a chat. Visitors are always invited to sit down with us for our cup of tea about 11am.”

The museum has an enormous and well cared for collection, with a large variation in scope.

With such a large amount of information on everything ‘Deni’, there is something for everybody — from history buffs to farming enthusiasts. And the collection is growing all the time.

Added only recently was a teapot determined to be more than 130 years old, and connected to a prominent local family. The ornate electro plated nickel silver teapot, which is intricately engraved with floral patterns, was presented to James McKees in 1889 for his Champion Merino Ram Grass Fed at the Deniliquin Show that year.

It is believed to be the second oldest piece of ‘silverware’ in the museum’s collection now, the oldest being another Deniliquin Show trophy dated 1883. The teapot was gifted back to the community, for display and safe keeping at the Historical Society, by Mr McKees’ ancestor Sue Folwell.

The building which houses the region’s history alone is something to behold. The open-faced museum is tasteful and an insight into riverside elegance. With a rose studded garden crawling beside the footpath, the site is classically beautiful.

After exploring the museum, Deniliquin’s eateries and cafés are a perfect treat.

The Deniliquin and District Historical Society Museum is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10am to noon. Other times and group bookings are by appointment. Call 0408 454 948.

Hit the trails

Better yet, do it for next to nothing with free bike hire from Peppin Heritage Centre and Deniliquin Visitor Information Centre in George St.

Located near the Deniliquin town centre, you can easily access the mountain park trails via the Willoughby’s Beach entrance or from Packenham St.

The trails wind along a fast and flowy cross-country route through the tranquil forest.

Expect lots of turns and log rollovers as you cover mostly flat terrain, with some gentle hills and one steep descent.

You can choose between one of three loop trails. The shortest is just 7.6km, or try a longer 11km or 12km loops.

The trail network is structured around the existing kangaroo tracks found in the forest, so has minimal environmental impact.

They are rated as intermediate, but are suitable for most riders. It takes about two hours to complete the full 12km loop.

If you’re after a different perspective, the Beach to Beach trail alongside the Edward River is also a great cycling and walking trail.

It runs from Willoughby’s Beach in the Murray Valley Regional Park, through the Island Sanctuary and along the river to McLean Beach.

Eat, sleep and play golf

Deniliquin Golf Club hosts one of the most picturesque courses in the region.

You can enjoy the beauty of this golf course, alongside the kangaroos, kookaburras, Superb Parrots, echidna, goannas, lizards, pelicans and a host of other wildlife that abounds in this paradise of nature.

At its best, Deniliquin golf course with its 18 manicured fairways and true greens, is a shining example of Australia’s magnificent golf courses.

If you’re looking for a trip away, the Deni Golf Resort has you covered with a range of packages, built to take the stress out of finding accommodation. Its 22 units overlook the ninth fairway, and are nestled among bushland.

The resort and course are in a superb location on the edge of Murray Valley Regional Park, yet just a stone’s throw from the centre of town. It’s just 30m from the resort to the first tee, and it’s a shorter distance to the bushwalk track.

The course perfectly reflects a chance for all golfing standards to enjoy a fun and challenging round.

By modern standards the course is not long — 5817 metre par 72 for men, and 5118 metre par 72 for ladies. However, off the back tees it is a challenge for all levels of player, as many professionals who have tried to tame the course have discovered.

Poor shots find the huge trees that line most of the couch fairways, while the greens are fast but true and always in great condition.

A feature of Deniliquin golf course is the ‘same day play’ principle that applies. On most days you can phone the pro shop on (03) 5881 3333 and book your tee off time, or just call in and one of the friendly volunteer staff will cater for your golfing needs. If you prefer the relaxation of a golf cart, there are plenty of those available too.

After your round on the course, enjoy the club’s facilities or relax under the veranda adjacent the pro shop. Friday nights are a speciality in the clubhouse, when there are meat raffles, great meals and a fun atmosphere where locals will make you welcome. For the latest information on clubhouse opening and activities, phone (03) 5881 1325.

If you want to practise your game, the club has an under-cover driving range, which features an automated ball dispenser and lighting, allowing extended play on your terms. It’s simply a matter of getting a token or swiping your credit card to get a bucket of balls and work on your swing.

Visitors are also encouraged to enter any of the club’s regular competitions, which are on its website. These include a Saturday medley, ladies events on Tuesday and Thursday, and men’s stableford on Wednesday. Keep an eye out for special charity days and competitions too.

Get outside this spring and take on one of the Murray Valley Regional Park’s mountain bike trails.

STREET ART GUIDE The Big Kangaroo and Emu

Standing roughly 7 metres high, the impressive Kangaroo and Emu sculptures were created in 2011 by local residents during a series of community farm art workshops in Lockhart, following grant funding by Festival Australia. Creating first the Kangaroo, then the Emu, the initial workshop was run over two days by Sydney artist, Stephen Coburn, as part of Lockhart’s Spirit of the Land Festival. Read more about this on pages 34 and 39. The Kangaroo and Emu sculptures were constructed completely from scrap metal including old ute and car bodies, 44 gallon drums, galvanised iron and unused farm materials donated by locals. The sculptures are fine examples of rural recycling, where nothing is thrown away in case it may have a use in the future. If you look closely you can see the neck of the Emu is made from an old chaser bin auger, while the legs are steel and posts once used at the front of Bunnings in Wagga. The Kangaroo and Emu sculptures are just two of many award winning sculptures on display in Lockhart.

Held over Friday, October 20 and Saturday, October 21, the show features more than 26 sections of exhibits. In its 60th year in 2023, the show is a much-anticipated annual event that brings together the essence of rural life.

Visit the pavilions and see wool, poultry, garden and farm produce, jams, sauces and pickles, cooking, cakes, handicrafts, needlework, knitting, photography and horticulture. And of course you can’t have a show without rides and sideshows, and great live music.

The show is held at the Barham Showgrounds in Gonn St. Go to www.barhamkoondrookagshow.com for the full schedule and more information.

Explore Moulamein's history

The Moulamein Heritage Village showcases a wealth of objects and buildings with significant historical value to the area.

Spearheaded by the Moulamein Community Development Inc, this project has been years in the making. It has been made a reality thanks to the Federal Government’s Drought Communities Program, and more improvements are pending.

Three of the region’s historic structures have been relocated and refurbished at the village, retaining that history for many years to come.

Visitors to the Heritage Village can explore the information centre housed in the old Dhuragoon School building and learn about the region’s rich agricultural history, including its iconic wool industry.

The village also boasts the relocated and refurbished Jeraly Wool Shed and Werai Stables.

A new all-abilities accessible amenities block complements the facilities.

Those who love things on wheels will enjoy checking out the restored trucks and tractors. A centrepiece of this collection is the superb Vickers tractor, produced

in Sheffield, England, in the late 1920s. Known as ‘the Aussie’, production stopped in 1930.

Ron and Val McWhae, formerly of Moulamein, owned and lovingly restored the tractor on display in the village.

Also among the collection are a 1930s Ford truck and two John Deere D-series tractors from local farms. More machinery has been accumulated for outdoor displays, with an oil-driven traction engine to be added this spring as a showpiece.

“We’re building on the collection all the time,” Drew Harris said.

“We’ve also got buggies and gigs, and a restored dray in the wool shed, which people love.

“There are all sorts of tractors, pumps and implements that we have been collecting for many years.

“We’ve also recently taken ownership of timber salvaged from the Gee Gee bridge, which we intend to reuse.”

The Moulamein Heritage Village is located at 4 Paterson St, Moulamein and is open by appointment only. To arrange an appointment, call 0417 276 845. Volunteers can cater to small or large groups.

The town of Moulamein is a mustvisit for history buffs.

The Border Flywheeler’s Club was established in Barham in 1995 with the aim of collecting, restoring and exhibiting tractors, machinery, engines and other artefacts used by the farming community along the Murray Darling Basin.

Over time this aim extended to collections of household goods with excellent kitchen, laundry, hospital and dining room displays all included in the museum which tells the story of our region.

Border Flywheelers

The

The Border Flywheelers Museum is also proud to be the keeping place for many artefacts used by the local Barapa Barapa Aboriginal people who lived and worked around this area. The artefacts have been used for centuries by the Barapa Barapa peoples for ceremonies, hunting and in everyday life.

The museum is located at 9 Jamieson Avenue, Barham and, staffed wholly by volunteers, opening times are limited.

AND HERITAGE

The club opens 10am to 4pm on the first Saturday of each month, and can open at other times by appointment. Catering for morning and afternoon teas is available, and meals for groups can be organised on request.

Admission to the museum is $10 per person, and under 16s get in free. Go to borderflywheelers.com. au to learn more.

Centenary celebrations in Koondrook

The hull of PS Alexander Arbuthnot was built in Koondrook by shipwright Charles Felshaw, and in 1916 she began life as a barge.

The hull of PS Alexander Arbuthnot was built in Koondrook by shipwright Charles Felshaw, and in 1916 she began life as a barge. In 1923 when she was commissioned and then towed to Echuca for the fitting of engine, boiler and superstructure. That’s when she commenced her new job as a working steamer, for many years towing barges laden with red gum logs from the nearby forests for the Arbuthnot Sawmills.

To mark the anniversary of this important milestone, centenary celebrations will be hosted at the Koondrook Apex Park and Wharf on October 27. The free community event will include a bush dance, face painting, juggling, balloon twisting, bubblemania, cup cake decorating and kids games. There will be an art show for kids and adults and historical displays, including a vintage fire truck. Turtles Australia will have a display, and there will be a display of model paddleboats.

River levels permitting, the PS Alexander Arbuthnot will be there from Echuca too. Food and drink stands will be available, or bring your own and enjoy all the fun from 10am to 4pm.

The PS Alexander Arbuthnot is special because she is the last paddlesteamer to be built as a working boat on the Murray River during the riverboat trade era. She is named after the former owner of the Arbuthnot Sawmills at Koondrook – Alexander ‘Squire’ James Cooke Arbuthnot.

His father, Alexander ‘Sandy’ Arbuthnot was the founder of the Sawmills. PS Alexander Arbuthnot worked at the mill until the 1940s.

Her normal schedule was to tow two outrigger barges upstream from the mill, with two men to each barge. She would drop them off at a landing where the barges would be loaded with logs and then floated, unaided by the steamer, downstream back to the mill.

Meanwhile, PS Alexander Arbuthnot would return to the mill, collect another barge and ply downstream to Campbell’s Island where she would await the loading of the barge and tow it back. Each barge was capable of transporting about 300 tons for red gum logs. She was replaced by the PS Hero and onsold to charcoal producers at Barmah, who used her to bring bagged charcoal to the Echuca Wharf during World War II.

In 1947, after the war ended, she became redundant and eventually sank. A group of volunteers from Shepparton raised her in 1972 for use at the International Village Theme Park but in 1989, PS Alexander Arbuthnot was bought by the Echuca City Council for further restoration by the Port of Echuca. She was recommissioned in December 1994 and cruises daily at the Port.

Springtime adventures

Sitting on almost 400 acres, the ranch has a seemingly endless list of activities. You are never short of an opportunity for a new experience at Billabong Ranch.

Take a trip back in time with a tour of the beautiful scenery in an old fashioned horse drawn carriage. Or you can skip the carriage and go straight to the horse and camel rides.

Visit the fun park section of the ranch and have a go on all the awesome activities available.

Take to the water on a paddle boat, tap the ball around the indoor mini golf course or test your grip strength on the 30m rock climbing wall - the options are endless.

As you take in the springtime scenery, don’t forget to grab a feeding bag and visit the animals along the way. You can get up close and personal with both big and small creatures.

Open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm, the ranch makes it easy for the family to schedule a visit

while working around your other school holiday plans and work schedules.

Need help to find accommodation? Call the Billabong Ranch team for help on (03) 5483 5122. They can also help you organise group bookings, functions at the ranch and catering.

More information is also available at https://www. billabongranch.com.au.

Located just a short drive out of Echuca is Billabong Ranch, which has everything you need for a fun springtime adventure.

Echuca Moama Events director Jacqui

Wegener knows that the festival is a happy, vibrant, colourful and energetic day for everyone.

“Each year, it has gone from strength to strength, and we have got even more venues involved this year,” she said.

“On the day, each venue has two live music acts, and showcases local wines. If they are not a winery themselves, they showcase other wineries from the region.

“We have got the distillery and a couple of breweries as well, so they are all showcased at each venue.

“It is a real variety and we try to keep it so each of the venues has a different menu and you have a bit of variety all around the place.

“All day, buses keep moving from venue to venue to venue, so that people can jump on and off at any venue they like.

“It is a choose your own adventure festival on wheels.”

Starting at either the American Hotel in Echuca or the Border Inn in Moama, you will travel between Echuca and Moama, tasting the delights of each venue.

For this year’s Pop and Pourbeing held on Saturday, November

Pop and Pour

25 - the buses are going to run in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.

“It gives our ticket holders more flexibility on which order they get around to each of the venues,” Jacqui said.

“There might be an artist at Three Black Sheep that’s kicking off at 12, and then they want to get to the River for the second artist and the afternoon there.

“Instead of going all the way around the trail, they will be able to use the bus to flick immediately backwards.”

Tickets for the Pop and Pour are snapped up quickly by visitors

to the region, who have booked accommodation for the event yearon-year.

“Many people that I speak to, or hear from, have made festival friendships and they catch up again on an annual basis at the festival,” Jacqui said.

“It is a Saturday festival, so it gives you Sunday to continue to explore the region and get out on a paddle steamer, visit the port precinct or dine in one of the cafes, restaurants or pubs.”

Tickets include all bus transfers, a good quality KeepCup to take to each venue and all the entertainment on the day. Find out more and book your tickets at popandpour.com.au.

Tickets are now on sale for November’s Perricoota Pop and Pour Festival.

Spring into Berrigan Shire

Berrigan

Berrigan is a charming country township where historic buildings still tell the stories of yesteryear and vast productive lands stretch for miles. Meander along the main street in Berrigan and take some time to read the interpretive plaques that reveal the heritage highlights like the old post office building, Federal Hotel and Memorial Hall.

The Berrigan Government Nature Reserve Tank Paddock is a local initiative that has created an enjoyable walking track through a regenerated indigenous landscape. It is a very peaceful spot for a stroll and is close to the caravan park and swimming pool.

In early spring the farmland around Berrigan turns vibrant yellow as the canola bursts into flower and promises of the bountiful season to come. It is worth a drive on the backroads at this time of year.

Cobram-Barooga

Cobram-Barooga is situated in the heart of Victoria’s ‘Food Bowl’, and is home to some of the most picturesque sections of the mighty Murray River.

Visitors are captivated by the lifestyle, with wide sandy beaches, towering gums and native bushland which blend together to create this unique holiday destination.

One of Australia’s largest inland beaches, Thompson’s Beach, is easily accessible from the centre of town and is a great spot to soak up the tranquility of the river, enjoy a cruise, meet for a barbecue or picnic and play in the sand. It is also the perfect spot for hikers to head out to explore Quinn Island.

Finley

Finley is a vibrant small community with great shopping, eateries, entertainment and historic attractions, but it is the Finley Lake which really draws people in.

The first practical suggestion for a town lake was put to a public meeting in March 1964. It took a further 10 years of planning, fundraising and overcoming the difficulties for the project to begin, and Finley Lake was officially opened on November 6, 1975. Since then it has provided a welcome oasis for the weary traveller as well as being a venue for many and varied pursuits from fishing to bird watching, from sailing and canoeing to power boating and water skiing. While in Finley, make sure to stop by the Finley Railway Museum in Endeavour St, to learn more about how it was the first town selected for a pioneer railway. The rail was eventually extended to the town in 1898.

The Finley and District Historic Museum and Log Cabin is also worth a visit. Step back in time by walking through the McAllister Homestead, then on to the museum and enjoy its marvellous collection of machinery and memorabilia.

Tocumwal

Turn off the Newell Highway and discover a town nestled around the river bends and steeped in unique World War II history.

Tocumwal wears its heritage for all to see with its character filled main street and historic building facades that take you back in time.

An ideal spot from which to explore the region, enjoy exceptional food and wine, get a rush from water

sports and flying adventures, relax while bushwalking and camping or visit museums on your hunt for antiques and collectables.

While here, make sure to check out the WAAAF Creek Walk. The enjoyable creek sidewalk is lined with interpretive signage that honours and celebrates the Women’s Auxiliary Australian Air Force story, and its role in Tocumwal during WW II.

In Tocumwal there is also the recently opened Tocumwal Aviation Museum and adjoining café, where you can learn about the town’s World War II history while also enjoying a coffee or a meal.

Berrigan Shire is a much-loved destination for admirers of the great outdoors and good old fashioned hospitality.

Spirit of the Land

This wonderful festival began in 2006 during the worst drought in Lockhart’s recorded history, as a celebration of the resilience of those who live and work on the land.

From the very first event, the Spirit of the Land has proved an outstanding success – reviving community spirit, inspiring enthusiasm and putting a small town well and truly on the festival map.

Home to the famous National Farm Art Sculpture Award, Lockhart’s Spirit of the Land Festival promises a whole weekend of family entertainment. While the sculptures are incredible in themselves, the festival is so much more.

There’s also fine art, Indigenous and photography exhibitions, open gardens, boutique market stalls, vintage cars, an incredible wool art gallery plus food, wine and some of the friendliest locals you’re ever likely to encounter.

And to make your experience as pleasant as possible, there is live music all day, and a fantastic fireworks display on the Saturday evening.

This year’s festival will be held Saturday, October 7 and Sunday, October 8.

Admission for both days is just $10, which allows entry to the sculpture exhibition, fine arts and photography exhibition, open gardens and farm tours.

Admission to the Greens Gunyah Museum, including the Doris Golder Gallery, is an additional $5. Learn more about the festival and the other attractions that make Lockhart worth visiting at www.spiritofthelandlockhart.com.au
