    How excited are we, i.e Destination Dorrigo Inc??? This last couple of weeks has seen the release of our first brochure! “What is so unusual about that?”, we can hear you say. Well, this is the first brochure guaranteed NOT to go out of date. Everyone knows that as soon as you have produced a brochure, a business changes, some one leaves town, or someone opens a business that should be in your pamphlet.

    We are totally QR coded with approximately 80% of the adult population of Australia with a smart phone this scan and link brochure refers the visitor, or potential visitor to our town, to a totally and fully inclusive community website that is designed to promote the small town (village) of Dorrigo, NSW, Australia.

    Here is how we have done it …. http://destinationdorrigo.com/discover/latest-dorrigo-news/5653-destination-dorrigo-brochure-launched.html We have done a complete audit of the businesses in our town as well as all of our community organisations, facilities, parks, attractions and events… come on world… make Dorrigo Your Destination!!!

    And…. During the social for us Country Woman of the Year finalists, one of the panel is a head at Farmers Union Ins , so I went way out on a limb and told her that a rural communities health is linked to it’s ag communities health, and told her I’d be happy to come speak to them. Holy smokes! She said OK!!
    And… I have trained 2of the bottle calves to Drink water from the bucket! sometimes it’s the small victories. ;)
