Dedicated locals were the front and centre of the Dorset Council’s annual Australia Day awards with community members recognised for their selfless work across the municipality.
An expansion fifty years in the making officially opened its doors on Wednesday to the cheers of more than 80 supporters and community members present.
Characters escaped from the pages of books for some hi jinx at Ringarooma Primary School last week.
It was of course a celebration of Book Week, the annual campaign to promote literacy and championed by the Children’s Book Council of Australia for more than 75 years.
Staff at the school joined in the dress up day as Little Miss book characters along with an interesting line-up of bush rangers, farmers, super heroes and their ilk.
The celebration loosely fitted into the Book Week theme of old worlds, new worlds, other worlds.
