Podcasts and Other Resources
Over the coming months we will be partnering with local people, emergency services personnel, not for profit organisations and Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council to speak on a range of topics we believe will be useful to those living in the Bywong and Wamboin Region. The series looks to open up new sources of information, views, opinions and ideas as we share stories, wisdom and encouragement.
If you would like to participate or have suggestions for future guest speakers please get in touch via resilientbywongwamboin@gmail.com or our Project Officer, Amanda, at ajonesadvisor@gmail.com.
