MY PLACE. MY PEOPLE SERIES
“What are we but our stories”
– American novelist James Patterson.
Inspired by the unique and interesting stories of community members that emerged during its Front Porch Project earlier in 2020, the Shire of Dardanup has launched a region-leading project to celebrate its quiet champions while fostering connection and local pride.
The Connect Dardanup ‘My Place. My People’ series was delivered as eight episodes.
From Friday, August 7 a 30-minute episode was released each week and featured the personal stories of a community member.
Each episode dove deep into our guests’ unique journey and experience of connecting, working and living within the Shire of Dardanup.
