This week on The Local Update Graham Farram returns to the history of Bega Primary School, the local newspapers and the life of early settlers to the region.
Later in the episode we’re back in the garden. This time we’ll catch up with Julie Davies and Geoffrey Grigg from the Saphire Coast Producers Association (SCPA). In the coming weeks the seed Savers associated with SCPA are going to run a collection drive, asking locals to contribute seedlings to assist those who lost their gardens in the recent fires. You’ll learn plenty more about that and how you can help in this weeks episode.
