Moe & Newborough shopping & services guide

The idea of this booklet is to provide a free community resource that will encourage the people of Moe, Newborough and surrounding areas to shop locally, rather than go to Melbourne or the larger regional towns to purchase their goods and services. This project has been deferred, pending the availability of funding.
