I love Latrobe Valley because after moving away from the area to study and begin my career I chose to return to the area to advance my career and give back to the community I feel so passionate about. Since returning to the Valley I have experienced endless career, sporting…
I absolutely love the Latrobe Valley and the wider Gippsland region. I did a lot of travel in my 20s right around Australia and overseas and I think you could go two ways. You either go, ‘I’m never going home’, or you get an appreciation for how good you’ve got…
