Hindmarsh Shire is back again with an exciting two weeks of fun and FREE activities across the Shire for the upcoming April School Holidays. This is our first in-person school Holiday activities in a while and we’re so thrilled that young people can get back into their community for fun, social and safe events. We’re bringing back some popular events from last school holidays but have made sure that everything still feels new and exciting! There is sure to be something for everyone with activities ranging from science experiments, crafty art, petting zoo, Grampians adventures, Landcare walks, movie nights, the Smartphone Photography Tour and the Uniting Level-Up Gaming event.

Hindmarsh Shire Council Mayor, Cr Melanie Albrecht said “It is wonderful to see a jam packed holiday program on offer for the kids of Hindmarsh.
