ROTARY AT WORK!
 
Members of the Rotary Club of Port Fairy were hard at work this morning clearing weeds along the pathway between Port Fairy's Gipps Street and the footbridge across the Moyne River.
   
 
 
The weeds had taken hold since the initial planting of shrubs in 2025 so it was time for a clean-up. Additionally, the Club also planted new shrubs at the bottom of the steps in the small garden it is cultivating next to the river.
 
To complete the work, we will soon be erecting signage acknowledging this Rotary community project.
 
The cost of landscaping and plantings has been subsidised by the Port Fairy & District Community Bank.
