“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 project is an eight-part podcast series called ‘My Place, My People’.
From Friday, August 7 a 30-minute episode will be released each week and feature the personal stories of a community member.
Each episode dives deep into our guests’ unique journey and experience of connecting, working and living within the Shire of Dardanup.
