Dairy documentary celebrates Meeniyan

MEENIYAN will feature in a documentary showing dairying communities across Australia.
To celebrate the success of the LEGENDAIRY Capital program, Dairy Australia has launched the documentary featuring dairy farmers and the regional communities that participated in last year’s inaugural program.
Meeniyan was named one of Australia’s LEGENDAIRY capitals in the Dairy Australia campaign.
Among the Meeniyan characters to appear in the documentary are dairy farmers Fay Sinclair and Tim Calder, livestock specialist Andrew Mackie, Marty Thomas of Moo’s restaurant, current South Gippsland Shire Councillor Andrew McEwen and former councillors Bob Newton and Jeanette Harding.
The documentary shines a light on the people who have helped – and continue to help – shape Australia’s vibrant dairy regions.
Dairy Australia program manager Suzi O’Dell said the documentary celebrated the valuable contribution dairy farmers make to their local communities.
“As part of the program last year, we visited each of the eight finalist communities and met hundreds of people who shared their inspiring stories of community support and of the contribution dairy farmers make to the social fabric of their towns,” she said.
