This is a big THANK YOU to all the readers and contributors to Virtual Yallourn. For the second year in a row, we have received the Commendation Award in the Multimedia section of the Victorian Community History Awards by RHSV and PROV (State Government).

Here is a photo of Julie out the front of the Art Gallery on 17 October 2016, proudly showing off the Commendation Award. The judges particularly commented on the 3D Town Map.

This is a tribute to both Wilma and Ralph Wicks, wonderful people who were my former parents-in-law, and also a tribute to the gardeners of Yallourn, who in its heyday created such a lovely, well-kept town...and finally, a tribute to my mother, Elna Lerche, a keen gardener, who passed away in 2006. Ralph Wicks was also devoted to his garden in Yallourn. The original, mature, plant was given to my mother by Wilma Wicks in 1969, and was kept in Mum's garden until 2006, when I (Inge) inherited it.

Hope to see you there - we have both indoor and outdoor venues so weather is not an issue.
