Looking for a great activity on World Environment Day?

Come along to hear Dr Rebecca Huntley at the Tathra Hotel!

Dr Rebecca Huntley is guest speaker for the 44th Bournda EEC World Environment Day event,  Saturday 5th June at 10:15am. Rebecca was booked to speak at the dinner last year and writes:

I was so disappointed when COVID-19 cancelled the last trip planned. Not so in 2021 and I am so looking forward to coming to share my insights around the environment with you at the Bournda Environmental Education Centre event.  I know the recovery from both the pandemic and the extreme weather events have hit the area hard. I am looking forward to meeting people and to hear their reflections and their stories of resilience and hope for the future of their communities.”

which includes lunch and the presentation

Rocky Hall RFS Shed Solar Installation

Posted on by

The 3.7kW solar system is connected to a battery which will provide up to five hours of emergency backup power. This will  give the brigade some security in times of emergencies, like during Black Summer bushfires when the district lost all its power.

Supporting CEFE and the Rocky Hall Rural Fire Brigade were the Wyndham Progress Association and Wyndham Men’s Shed – as well as a host of locals who turned up on a very wet afternoon fund raising concert, which was shifted from the sports ground to the Wyndham Hall.
