Here’s an opportunity to see your pictures in the paper – Have you heard about the board game about the treasures of Yarra Ranges Shire?
It is the brainchild of artist and writer, Jenni Ivins, who is engaging communities in conversations on Facebook about the things we value and what to see and do here.
The game will be published in May in all Star Mail papers, covering the Shire of Yarra Ranges.
The game board will be based on a map of the shire and GO-TO cards will direct players from town to town in the game.
“Exciting news!” Ms Ivins said.
“I have selected an amazing photo to go on the GO-TO side of all the cards. The image was taken by Tracy de, whose photography has been widely appreciated by many people in local Facebook groups. It shows a kangaroo hopping before a setting sun.”
The front of the cards will have photos taken by people who have a connection to the shire in some way, like working, living, studying or playing here.
The deadline for submitting photos for the front of the cards is looming. Get your photos in before Easter! You can submit them to Jenni@MindDrawing.net but the preferred method is to post them in the project Facebook group Connecting Communities – Yarra Ranges Shire.
That is where all the up-to-date information will be, you can join the conversations to learn more about the shire and share your own stories, and there may be a deadline extension for members of
the group.
