Expressions of Interest are now open for the South Australian Tourism Commission’s Experience Development Program, with upcoming sessions specifically for tourism operators in the Riverland and Murray River, Lakes & Coorong regions.

The free program supports tourism businesses to develop a distinctive, bookable visitor experience, with practical guidance to help make it compelling, inclusive, sustainable and competitive.

Only eight businesses will be selected, with up to two people able to participate from each business. While operators from other regions can apply, preference will be given to Riverland and MRLC businesses.

If you’ve been thinking about developing a new experience or strengthening an existing one, this is a great opportunity to get some hands-on support.

Book Week brought a special visit to Barmera Library today, with Mayor Ella Winnall and CEO Tim Pfeiffer reading to reception, year 1 and year 2 students from St Joseph's School Barmera.

Tim was particularly happy to have the chance to read his favourite children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The students were an enthusiastic audience, making for a lovely morning celebrating books, reading and storytelling.

A big thank you to the teachers and parents who put in the time and effort to make Book Week special for the students in our community.
