If ever there was an example of what a local football club means to a country community, picturesque Laharum in western Victoria at the base of the Grampians is it.
There are challenges, but the people of Laharum Football Netball Club make the 100-year-old club and community what it is. About 35 kilometres from Horsham, club president Brian Burke says you wouldn't describe it as a township, it's more like "a community with a football club".
Laharum was the second stop on WorkSafe Victoria's Country Club Series for 2023.
