Are you from Bass Coast or other regional Victoria areas, and planning to visit our beautiful Churchill Island? While there, take a detour and visit the historic farm machinery display alongside the shearing shed, which now features new signage explaining a lot about how the machinery you can see there was actually used. Friends of Churchill Island Society and our donor members contributed towards the cost of this all-weather signage.

Here are some of their photos of their wonderful baked and decorated creations! Including CI's wonderful Eastern Barred Bandicoots. Thanks for sharing PINP. ... See MoreSee Less
