At the 2010 Census, Yinnar (township and district) had a population of 860. The origin of the name Yinnar is believed to have been derived from the Aboriginal term yinnar, meaning ‘woman’. Melbourne Yinnar As a Club, we take pride in producing an Annual Report that will promote the Club and community, and serve as a permanent record and reminder of our on and off field achievements over the season. We strive to improve its content and presentation every year, hopefully this is apparent to its readers. The Club Committee particularly thanks Kate Simmons, who has taken on the Annual Report graphic design production in voluntary capacity (legend!), and the much loved and respected Deb Coady, our very own papparazi.

    LODDON HEALTHY MINDS NETWORK http://loddonhealthyminds.com.au Suicide Prevention – It’s Everyone’s Business Rural Strategies That Work! Thursday 30 August Presenter Update Keynote speaker: Wayne Schwass Born in New Zealand and raised in Warnambool, Western Victoria, Wayne Schwass began playing Aussie Rules football at the age of ten. In 1986, Wayne began playing for the North Melbourne Football Club. Wayne played 282 games at the elite level for fourteen and a half years, both with the North Melbourne Football Club (1988-1997) and the Sydney Swans (1998-2002). Since retiring in 2002, Wayne has established himself as a highly respected AFL broadcaster on TV, radio, print and online. However, in addition to his work within the sporting world, Wayne has also become a passionate advocate for mental health awareness. In 2006, Wayne founded the Sunrise Foundation, an organisation he founded after becoming one of the first AFL players to speak openly about his experience with depression. The Sunrise Foundation, which ran from 2007 and 2010, focused on delivering preventative education programs to secondary school students. More than 5,000 students participated in the foundation’s Headsmart program. Wayne’s passion for mental health advocacy led him to create Puka Up. Launched in 2017, Puka Up is a social enterprise focusing on mental health, emotional wellbeing and, importantly, suicide prevention. According to Wayne, the Puka Up vision is to create the environments for every person to have authentic and genuine conversations about mental health and emotional wellbeing. As well as Puka Up, Wayne also delivers his powerful and honest keynote speeches to countless mental health seminars and workshops, where his message never fails to resonate with audiences.
