Residents in Corangamite Shire have the opportunity to get to know those in their community, and their surrounds.
Corangamite Shire Council has launched its Explore & Talk program, which includes a series of tours around local landmarks.
A monthly outing beginning in Skipton in March, other towns will include Cobden in April, Timboon in May and Noorat in June.
Two council staff members will be part of each group walk, with the outings to be user friendly for all abilities.
Corangamite Shire deputy mayor Laurie Hickey said the relaxed get-togethers would are a fun way for people to meet other fantastic residents.
“You could make a new best friend so come along and add some excitement to your day,” he said.
“Stick around after each tour and enjoy a friendly chat at a nearby café.
“Explore & Talk offers a gentle way to enjoy our fabulous outdoors, learn a bit more about our Shire’s big backyard, and get some light exercise at your own pace.
“It’s a simple idea, but we know that sometimes the smallest steps can make a big difference to someone’s day.”
