🐾 Look after your health — your dog is counting on you
Last weekend, Casterton truly came alive for one of the country’s most loved events — the Australian Kelpie Muster.
From the Poet’s Breakfast, where Acute Care Nurse Unit Manager Shane and Chief Executive Rowena shared poetry — including Women of the West — to the energy right across town, the Muster was a wonderful celebration of community, creativity and connection.
In partnership with the National Centre for Farmer Health, we offered free Farmer Health & Lifestyle Assessments, giving locals and visitors alike the chance to check in and take a moment for their wellbeing.
At Youth HQ, we welcomed 370 people through the doors to enjoy pottery, rock painting, the smoothie bike and other activities — a vibrant space for all ages to get involved.
The Seasons Support Group’s Knit and Natter stall showcased beautiful handmade creations, while the much-loved yarn sheep of Woolly West Fest made their way around town — from the parade float to the health checks and Youth HQ— bringing plenty of smiles along the way. Thank you to Woolly West Fest for the loan!
A big thank you to our volunteers, who brought great spirit to the parade float and helped everything run smoothly throughout the weekend.
Events like the Kelpie Muster highlight the strength and connection of our community, and we’re proud to be part of it each year.
