Celebrating Wimmera Water Places with our youngsters
With the addition of a beautiful new panel from Jeparit Primary School, the Wimmera Water Places Project has now moved from the Minyip Community Health Centre Reception lobby to be on display inside the Murtoa Neighourhood House/ Orchard Café.

We hope locals and visitors will enjoy seeing the images and messages of water places that our young people cherish and especially the new panel from Jeparit with drawings and poems about a Wimmera River site they regularly visit as a school.
A slideshow with these wonderful poems and drawings of Jeparit’s Showgrounds River site is being shared with all primary schools in the Wimmera this week.
Contributions of water places not yet covered are very welcome from young people of the Wimmera for the rest of this month.
