The kelpie is a uniquely Australian breed of working dog which has its origins in our very own electorate of Wannon. The kelpie was developed to muster sheep in the rugged areas along the Glenelg River near Casterton. Kelpies are famously hard working, but they are also intelligent, reliable and energetic – just like Alex and the volunteers of Wannon’s community independent movement! If you would like your very own kelpie sign for your front yard, you can request one here. |
Come to one of our community hubs and you may be lucky enough to be able to purchase one of our fantastic kelpie jewellery badges. These delightful badges have been individually hand made by a local volunteer from reclaimed materials. |
An orange kelpie sign, badge or poster can be used to promote our community independent campaign in a subtle way, where an overtly political sign may not be appropriate. It can be a great conversation starter, allowing you to talk about the importance of our community movement if asked “What’s with the orange dog?”.
Volunteers can download kelpie templates via this page in our Volunteer HQ.
