Prohibited burn
From sharing good news to a community plea.
Our local firefighters have also asked us to remind local residents that burning of rubbish in the town limits is strictly prohibited.
It comes after the brigade was called to a backyard fire in Poictiers St, Deniliquin just before 1pm on Tuesday.
“We advised the resident there was to be no fire in the backyard, and the fire had to be extinguished,” Deputy Captain Les Booth said.
“All rubbish is to be taken to the Deniliquin Waste Depot.”
Choccies for all
The Deniliquin CBD is used to the cheer that Kurrajong brings each Thursday with its biscuits and slices, but the group made an extra special stop at businesses last week.
A team of the service provider’s clients, accompanied by Leslie Hills, dropped into businesses to hand out Easter eggs and chocolates.
What a great way to start the Easter.
Jan wins popular vote
Jan Lawler's Gen Next won the People's Choice at the Deniliquin Easter Art Show.
There’s one pending result from the Deniliquin Easter Art Show we could not share with you in Tuesday’s edition.
Decided by popular vote on Monday evening, after the Pastoral Times had gone to print, was the winner of the People’s Choice award.
A striking painting by Jan Lawler titled Gen Next was selected as the winner.
Jan’s entry was right inside the front door, and was one of more than 300 artworks on display over the weekend.
