What makes small towns and rural communities 'go ahead'?

Great things start with you. But it can be difficult taking action when you feel alone, or don’t even know where to start.

Spark Rural is a grass roots movement that shares the stories of growth and transformation in regional Victoria. Each week we profile real people like you: individuals who are taking ideas out of their heads and creating something new. From Mallacoota to Mildura, Spark Rural helps people shape their ideas for reality.

We believe in better futures. Starting today.

Gidday there,

Great to have you here at Spark Rural.

On Wednesday, you’ll receive some news and information that you probably won’t get anywhere else.

Over the last 12 months, I’ve travelled some serious distance across Victoria, met and photographed hundreds of people. Some may say they’re just going about their lives, but I see something different. A retailer doing something different in their town. An arts and culture leader, bringing thousands of tourists to their tiny town each year. Rarely do these stories make the news. But that doesn’t mean they’re not remarkable. Every day people like you and I, doing something bold, to change the future of their communities and towns. After all, it’s about creating great places to live!

Got a story tip off or want to be profiled yourself? e: vanessa@sparkrural.com.au

My best,
