Tomorrow we are going for a short little walk and talk plus a little bus tour around Gawler to look out for issues and or solutions to issues that impact the community or our planet. We will be commencing this tour Tuesday 6th September 9am. Due to the nature of this little trip, sport uniform can be worn.
