Bruce Hedge recently took this great shot of the ‘Thursday Crew’ at rest.  If you’ve not met them, they are group of dedicated gents who get together every Thursday morning and carry out valuable environmental management work.  Stop and say g’day if you see them when you’re out and about in Woodend.

We’ll finish up with snacks and a cold drink – we’d love to see you down there.
