Pride in Our Communities

This project involves the upgrade of the Caldwell and Womboota community halls and also the Bunnaloo Recreation Reserve (rooms and sporting facility). This project is about bringing the communities of Bunnaloo, Womboota and Caldwell together. These Murray Shire communities have been hit hard by the drought and are somewhat isolated and have therefore decided to band together to try and get their essential community facilities upgraded, thus giving the locals something to focus on and work towards.
