Meet our Patron Ambassador

Peter Walsh, Nationals Member for Murray Plains

Loddon Valley Arts Trail is an exciting initiative, creating a new way for people to come and experience the many interesting places in the shire.

I believe by linking towns and venues in places all well worth a visit, and by exhibiting artists and makers in surprising ways, this will prove to be a trailblazing project in the arts world and co gratulate everyone involved in the concept.

With my own story, and my family’s, so embedded in Loddon, from Boort where I was born and the wider district where I grew up and we farmed, to places such as Kingower, where I helped restore the church built there by my great grandfather – who was such a pioneer in the area – I am delighted, and honoured, to have been invited to be the inaugural patron of this unique and ambitious project.
