How it works
At present we have around 100 articles or posts on the website, but as the content grows finding information can become difficult. This search page is one attempt to address that. Try it our by typing a keyword from a topic you are interested in. If there are lots of results they can then be refined by sorting them. It is also possible to narrow the search by using two keywords between the word “AND”. For example the search for “Geelong AND water” may return a more targeted result than when you use either of the two keywords.
