With cards laid out in front and the word bingo sitting at the tip of their tongues, Yorta Yorta Elders enjoy a fun game of bingo each week.

Organised by a group of Elders, every Wednesday a bingo event is hosted for Yorta Yorta Elders who enjoy coming together for a few games and a yarn at the St Augustine’s Anglican Church parish hall in Shepparton.

News journalist Taylah Baker caught some of the action on Wednesday, August 9.
