Our final Flood Recovery with Sophie Thomson event was action packed, with a bus trip that showcased everything and everyone that our beautiful region has to offer.
We started at Mary Ann Reserve then travelled to:
🛠️Murray Bridge Men’s Shed – to see their amazing setup that provides connection for so many
🦆Sturt Reserve for morning tea with Sophie’s amazing cakes, and a coffee delivery from Grazing for Dayz
🐝Big Bend Look out to reflect on awe and the beauty of our environment with Bronwyn Paynter - Nature OT. Bronwyn also provided us with prompts throughout the day to reflect on nature!
🥗Lunch at the Swan Reach hotel – great views and great food
🌻Blanchetown Community Garden which was impacted by the floods and has had an amazing community help rebuild
and
🪺Meldanda, a wonderful place to spend visit with so much to offer showcasing conservation and environment.
Thanks to everyone that joined us on the day, we hope that you had a wonderful time and were inspired by nature with ideas to create in your own gardens.
Special thanks to Sophie, whose passion for natural disaster recovery, people, gardening and our planet has shone through over the last 2 ½ years. We appreciate everything you have done to make these events impactful for those attending.
This event was made possible due to natural disaster funding from State and Federal Governments.
