A newspaper clipping dug out from our dusty archives

which featured in the Wimmera Mail Times on the 8th of

May 1978. Tania and Susan have been busy gathering

historical documents, newspaper clippings, and photos

which will be presented in a booklet and available for

viewing on the day of our 40th birthday celebrations. It

will present an opportunity for some of you to reminisce,

and for others provide a greater insight into the history

of Dunmunkle Lodge.

We would like to thank the Minyip & District Historical

Society for making their resources available to us – your

assistance was very much appreciated.

SILO ART TRAIL & PICNIC OUTING

RE On the 28th of August several residents took to the road and journeyed along the Silo Art Trail, enjoying a

pre-packed picnic for lunch. Pictured below are the magnificent silos in Rosebery, Sheep Hills and

Patchewollock; David Collard; Geoffrey Peyton; and James Bishop.

MUSIC MELODIES

THANK YOU!

Pictured are Pauline

Harper, Doreen Niewand,

the ‘Music Melodies’

performance and a lovely

meal together.

Sincere thanks to Pat Combs for donating a large quantity of 8 ply wool for use by our residents. We are so

fortunate to be a part of such a caring and generous community!

WIMMERA FOOTBALL LEAGUE

A huge congratulations to all teams who made it

through to the Grand Final on the weekend! We are

thrilled that Minyip-Murtoa won its first senior

football premiership since 1998, and the A Grade

netballers came through with their first ever win

since amalgamating. The B Grade netballers also put

in a sensational effort and by all accounts it was a

breathtaking match that had supporters sitting on

the edge of their seats right up until the final whistle.

The Lodge bus was put to good use transporting

Frank Pickering and Tom Wood, a member of the

‘200 Club’ to the game - they were accompanied by

Lifestyle staff Sandra Maides and Natalie Yates.

Pictured below left Tom holds up the football

Premiership Cup with coach John Delahunty; and

coach Billie Bibby. Many thanks to the players for

taking the time to bring the cups across to Tom and

Frank – you certainly made it a day to remember!

further updates and photos!
