| Local writers were recently encouraged to compose stories about a Tatiara street or road name, telling a story about the family it was named after, as part of activities that marked this year’s Tatiara History Week. Pat Matthews won the annual competition, for her story on Handyside Drive. Pat chose to write about Andrew Dods Handyside, and his many accomplishments; because he once owned the property that she and her husband now live on. Pat said she was delighted and surprised to have won the award, and added that through the competition, she has been able to write and research the history of their property, Crecoona, and has found this very rewarding. Nikki Ballinger won the primary section of the competition, with Clare Langley picking up the award in the senior section. Community members are welcome to read this years entries at the Bordertown Public Library. |
