Today we come together as a community, to pause to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice and service of all who have served our nation.
On this ANZAC Day, the Barmera District War Memorial Community Centre Inc pays tribute to the ANZAC spirit — courage, mateship and resilience — that continues to live on in our community.

Lest we forget.

Riverland - you spoke, we listened.

We’ve heard clearly that there is a real need for transport from Renmark Paringa Council to Mildura — especially for medical appointments and social trips.

Community Transport South Australia (CTSA) is ready and willing to help facilitate this service… but we need local volunteers to make it happen.

This is where the Riverland community can shine. 💛
If we can build a team of volunteer drivers, together we can:
✔ Support medical transport to Mildura
✔ Provide social and community connection trips
✔ Reduce isolation
✔ Make life a little easier for those doing it tough

Help us help you. You can do a little or as much as you want - no rosters!

Let’s work together to make a real difference in our community.

To find out how you can get involved, please call Tailem Bend Community Centre on 📞 08 8572 3513
Together, we can make this happen.
