Labertouche Cave access upgrade
Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (09:58): I want to rise today to congratulate the Drouin Rotary Club, Parks Victoria and students from Drouin Secondary College for their fantastic project which has renovated visitor access to the Labertouche Cave. Drouin VCE student Andrew Mills led the project, with fellow students Ethan Purvis and Bridget Wagner assisting. They worked with Rotarians Leigh Bates and Don Kelly as well as Parks Victoria ranger Andrew Musgrave. The community project needed more than 125 volunteer hours to be completed and was part of Andrew Mills’s vocational major. It started in July and required site visits to undertake strategic planning and was then completed over three intensive days in September. Students replaced fencing, repaired damage to rotten stairs and completed works around the site to ensure safe access was returned for visitors. It was a great example of vocational, practical learning that benefits our community. Well done to all involved.
