Children's Book Week
It wouldn't be Children's Book Week without the Whyalla Public Library getting involved! Our very own angel Ali had quite a crowd for Storytime during Book Week last month, reading this year's Early Childhood Book of the Year: Where the Lyrebird Lives by Vikki Conley, this book takes us on a journey of discovery through the lush Australian rainforest to find a lyrebird! As you can see by the smiling faces and incredible costumes everyone had a fantastic time!

The Outdoor Team
The outdoor team have been out at Memorial and Bennett Oval to make sure they are both in great condition for the Whyalla footy finals! Here is Nik, hard at work on the mower at Memorial Oval, looking nice and green!
You may have seen the tree planting crew along Raws Street recently, planting Wilga (Geijera parvifolia) a small evergreen tree native to inland Australia. Wilga are drought and frost tolerant and will grow to about 7 meters tall in Whyalla, making them a perfect street tree. Eventually they will end up looking like the row of Wilga on Syme Street right around the corner! Great work team!
