The fires through Yarloop, Waroona and Peel region were devastating, not only to those people who lost their homes, property, pets and life stock, but also to the many businesses who make our Geographe region a great place for visitors to visit. A new promotion is up and running to encourage visitors to our Geographe Region to create a self-drive loop.
Our very own Australia's South West along with the South West Development Commission and City of Bunbury, has commenced the "Take the Loop" campagin to provide support for business effected by these recent bush fires. Get out there and discover all the wonderful attractions in our own back yard. Check out the below link. www.australiassouthwest.com/taketheloop |
