Tocumwal is the place to be this Easter long weekend!
First up is the Tocumwal Post Office fundraiser on Thursday to raise money for the Good Friday Appeal.

All money raised will be donated to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal, helping sick kids and their families.
You can purchase raffle tickets with some incredible prizes from Tocumwal Post Office, Tocumwal Pharmacy, Tocumwal Cellarbrations, and the Tocumwal Ice Creamery. Prizes include a console fridge, a $200 voucher from Chelsea Jane Photography and so much more.
