JUNIOR TEAM.
Students read and shared ideas on the story, 'To The Bridge by Corinne Fenton’ which is based on the true story of 9 year old Lennie Gwyther from Leongatha. In 1932 Lennie decides to ride to Sydney on his pony Ginger Mick who was born on the same day as him. Together they travel from Leongatha, through the fires in Gippsland to Kilmany,
on to the NSW border and through the Snowy Mountains and Canberra arriving in Sydney 33 days later.
On Saturday, 19th March, Lennie and Ginger Mick crossed Australia’s Sydney Harbour Bridge when it was opened.
There is a statue of Lennie and Ginger Mick in Leongatha's Centenary Park on the South Gippsland Highway.
