Kids from Nathalia Preschool and Barmah Kindergarten went to Uncle Bob’s Park in Nathalia as part of their Bush Kinder program on Thursday, March 7.

The collaborative program, aimed at offering children enriching natural and outdoor experiences within the local community, is also supported by the Angler Club to support the kids’ interest in fishing.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit was there to see what the youngsters caught at the park.
