I believe Nathan ‘Whippy’ Griggs is an outstanding performer with at least five world records to his name, so it should have been a great show under lights at the club.

Mathoura’s Bra Fence may not hold any world records, but its record for assisting those with cancer is second to none.

The local tourist attraction invites those with cancer or their friends and families to hang a bra on the fence and place a donation in the tin provided.

Money raised goes to provide fuel vouchers for sufferers who are hospitalised with the disease or are required to travel great distances for consultations or surgeries.

With the cost of fuel these days it is a big help to these people.

The committee will be running another fundraiser soon.

You can learn more about it from Anne Robertson on 0429 843 579, or poke your head in the door at the Pastoral Hotel and ask there.

Mathoura Public School students will return to the classrooms in 2023 with a brand new logo on their uniforms.

The NSW Ambassador school’s logo features a tree encircled with the school name and its new motto – Believe. Achieve. Succeed.
