15.01.2022 Feel the heat of the forge as the blacksmith wipes the sweat from his brow, pulls the metal from the hot coals, and shapes it, white hot, against the anvil with his hammer. Watch carefully... a skilled blacksmith moves quickly! We’re open, and we’re delighted to welcome visitors back to the Pioneer Settlement and the Swan Hill region. #pioneersettlement #swanhill #takethejourney #byday #byriver #bynight #pyap #heartbeatofthemurray #HolidayHereThisYear

11.01.2022 In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. ... ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae. Pioneer Settlement is honoured to be home to one of the only original living Lone Pine trees from Gallipoli, planted here in 1965 in memory of departed comrades. Today, at 11am, with a solemn one minute’s silence we remember all those who lost their lives or suffered for Australia’s cause in all wars and armed conflicts. #rememberanceday #lestweforget
