Over more than a decade of scouting, Colac’s Hannah Warton has gained lifelong skills, friends, and memories.

But perhaps the most special of all is the 18-year-old’s recent six-day trip to Canberra for a once in a lifetime camp on the grounds of Government House.

Hannah, a 3rd/4th Colac Scout Group Rover, was among 1400 Scouts from across Australia to attend the first and only Governor General Camp last month.

ANYONE FOR ULTIMATE FRISBEE? 🥏 A local school

ANYONE FOR ULTIMATE FRISBEE? 🥏

A local school teacher and state ultimate frisbee representative is on the lookout for players to bring the sport to Colac.

Trinity College’s Todd Klein has been involved with ultimate frisbee for over a decade since his university days in Ballarat, even getting the chance to represent Victoria at the Australian Masters Ultimate Championships last year.

Similar to American football, points are scored in ultimate frisbee by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing end zone.

New Australian citizen Adhya Yatheskumar says it feels bittersweet officially becoming an Australian and leaving behind her Kiwi roots.

The 22-year-old and her brother Ananth were two of 13 new Australian citizens welcomed into the community yesterday in a Colac Otway Shire citizenship ceremony.

The 13 citizens, including 10 adults and three children, moved from Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, Thailand, India, the United Kingdom and Sri Lanka.
