Mallee Track Health and Community Service

Sea Lake’s Carinya Centre will become a community hub for activities, learning, interaction and new programs in plans outlined to the community by Mallee Track Health and Community Service.

A family tragedy inspired Speed’s Trish Torpey to become a water safety instructor, and now, after 30 years of teaching babies and children across the Mallee Track the most important of water safety skills, she is ready to hang up her togs and float into retirement.

What started as a four-week trial art class has now become a permanent fixture on the Murrayville calendar due to its popularity and “relaxing” atmosphere. The watercolour painting lessons, taught by Brenda Menzel and offered by Murrayville Neighbourhood House, were a “huge success” over their initial four week period, and have now been made an ongoing class.
