Day: December 9, 2025

A Wonderful Community Day – What a great day we had at the NARRA Christmas Picnic! It was fantastic to see so many locals come together to relax, catch up, and celebrate the festive season.

A huge credit goes to the NARRA Committee members for all their hard work in making the day such a success.
Ian Williams, Brian Birley, Leonie Holl, Genele Edgerton, Janine Honing, Marianne Birley, Sharon Mountain (Treasure Hunt), Ros Hawkins and a big thank you to Richard Gill for organising the Christmas Picnic 2025.

Here are a few photos from the event:

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a memorable community gathering.

Wishing all of Newlands Arm a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy New Year!

20 Years of Giving Back to Our Community – And Big Support for NARRA, Thank You, Paynesville Bendigo Bank

I had the pleasure of attending the Paynesville Bendigo Bank’s 20th year Celebration at the Paynesville Hotel. This Community Bank has been very supportive with over $26,000 provided to NARRA and Landcare Coastcare in the past 12 months. The Netball and Basketball half-courts been made possible with these funds providing 50% of the costs. I ask that the community support the Paynesville & District Community Bank (Bendigo Bank) because our community benefits greatly.
