It has been lovely to see a number of Coleambally residents feature in a Country Change campaign for the Riverina and NSW Murray.
This includes the Sipou family.
The campaign paints a nice picture of experiencing life in Murrumbidgee Council.
“This vibrant region offers a tranquil escape in towns like Coleambally, Darlington Point and Jerilderie, set against a backdrop of rich agricultural lands and historical sites,” it promotes.
“Whether you're starting a family, advancing your career, or enjoying retirement, Murrumbidgee provides a supportive community with ample employment opportunities.
“Explore more about this unique area and consider making your #countrychange.”
You can read more about the Sipou’s thoughts - and read stories about others who call this region home - at www.countrychange.com.au/meet-a-local.

Kudos and best wishes to Dr Des McRae at the Jerilderie Veterinary Clinic.
Des has helped a number of Coleambally residents over many years with their animal needs.
News has come through that the business has been sold, but Des will stay on for a little bit yet.
The clinic will now be owned and run by Dr Stephanie Reardon and Alecia Williams, both long-standing members of the clinic.
The clinic is also warning that a number of reptiles have returned, including snakes.
Residents and their pets are to be careful around wood piles, creek beds and metal heaps.
