On the bright and sunny morning of Thursday, July 27, Hay Public School came alive with vibrant colours, laughter, and an air of excitement as students gathered to celebrate NAIDOC Day.

More than 100 people attended a Rangelands Forum held in Hay last Wednesday, hosted and organised by Sally Ware, Senior Land Services Officer from the Hay office of Riverina Local Land Services.

To follow on from their native garden project, Booligal Public School has been exploring Aboriginal culture and the country that connects to the students and their homes; Ngiyampaa Country, with the help of Elder Uncle Roy Kennedy

A population of rare native yam daisies has been discovered on a travelling stock reserve (TSR) near Hay, with work underway from Riverina Local Land Services to protect the native plant.
