A WALK THROUGH TIME: STORIES OF LOCH 1876 – 2011
The history of the picturesque village of Loch will soon be told in a combined walk and theatrical performance.
Called, A Walk through Time: Stories of Loch 1876 – 2011, the tour will take about 100 minutes. The audience will be lead through the village, stopping at 6
different sites to hear the stories of two woman pioneers, an early school teacher and reluctant student, a dairy farming couple, a bank clerk, a football team
on the brink of glory and the towns dogged pursuit of a much wanted park.
The walk can be enjoyed on two levels. First, the pleasure of the walk itself, re-imagining the village over time. Second, a deeper appreciation of the life lived
there over the past 130 years, the troubles faced and community forged.
The walk will take place on Sunday March 6 at 11am and 2pm.
Tickets: $5 per person can be purchased from Loch Post Office. Bookings can be made by contacting Gill Heal on 0427 511 507

POSTCARDS OF SOUTH GIPPSLAND
RENAE CARMODY
Renae Carmody is a local artist from Leongatha who loves living in beautiful South Gippsland with her husband Warren and three children Philippa, William
and Zara.
In 2000, Renae produced a series of postcards for many towns around South Gippsland because she felt that there was very little acknowledgment of their
landmarks and features, and she wanted locals and tourists to have access to fun and colourful images to send to other parts of Australia and the world.
These designs were enjoyed and well supported locally and were sent to some weird and wonderful places.
