An organisation linked with the Primary Health Network, Co-ordinaire is recognising the stress created in rural communities through the on-going drought.

 

Pa2Health has announced a free four-week health and well-being challenge to residents of the Shoalhaven and southern NSW.

 

Pa2Health CEO, Judy Davie says getting physically and mentally healthy is particularly difficult to achieve for farmers and their families with the continuing drought.

 

With funding from the Health Network, Co-ordinaire, 550 residents in the southern area will be able to take part in a free digital health service.

 

It combines stress and sleep strategies, health eating, psychology and exercise to suit all fitness levels.

Motor cycle safety will be to the fore in the Goulburn Mulwaree area this week, as the 'Look for Joe Rider' campaign gets underway.

 

As part of Motorcycle Awareness Month, the campaign is designed to make motorists aware that other road users can be on motorbikes.

 

Joe Rider, in a bright pink vest, will travel around Goulburn and surrounds and those who spot him can enter for a chance to win one of two $50 fuel vouchers each weekday.

 

A $50 voucher will also be given away at the end of the week to someone who looked and registered in the scheme, but didn't spot the pink vested Joe.

 

Entries can be made online or through council's Facebook Page.

The hunt is on in the Goulburn area for people who have connections with three specific arenas of the Second World War.

 

An appeal has been made by Goulburn's Mulwaree High School Remembrance Museum for people with connections to the actions at Tobruk, the Battle of Britain and the Royal Navy cruiser, HMAS Perth.

 

The museum is hoping for stories, recollections, diaries, photos and other material which may be held by community members and which could be copied.

 

Remembrance Museum spokesperson, Bill Needham says any material will be added to what the museum already holds.
