~ Explore Brambuk Aboriginal Centre which has a great bush cafe

~ Take a picnic and use the BBQ facilities in the park area right in the heart of Halls Gap, which has an amazing children’s play ground with kangaroos just wandering around you while eat and play

~ Visit one of the two olive plantations and taste the locally grown products

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
