Sausages and recycling… that’s peak Sunday behaviour.
We’ve got you covered this week…

Pop down and check out how the container deposit scheme works with the Rochy Lions!

Bonus? There’s complimentary snags. Because learning about recycling is way better with a sausage in hand.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner… dads, sons and daughters, consider this your reminder.

Why not spend the day in Rochester?

Start with a coffee, enjoy lunch at one of our local cafés or pubs, pick up beautiful blooms from the florist and find the perfect gift while wandering our local shops.

Still not sure what to buy? Did you know Rochy has its own gift cards? The perfect easy gift that can be spent at participating local businesses around town – meaning Mum can choose exactly what she’d love.

Shop local, spoil Mum and make a day of it.

Looking for a great day trip from Rochy? Take the short drive to Colbinabbin Silo Art 🎨

Painted by Tim Bowtell, the silos celebrate the district’s rich farming history, with striking artwork that looks incredible at any time of day.

Make a road trip of it:
• Grab a coffee in Rochy before you go
• Explore the silos and the charming township of Colbinabbin
• Then head back to Rochester for lunch, a wander through our shops and to check out our own incredible mural trail and the famous Rochester Silo Art

Just another reason to love exploring our corner of the region 💛
