Heywire, the home of all things rural and regional youth is alive and kicking with passionate discussions, opinions, videos and stories by young people from across Australia
Kate Witcome has written a song describing her experience of leaving her hometown of Mildura to study Nursing Science at university in the regional centre of Bendigo. When she first entered Heywire she said "I am not a city girl, I am not a farm girl. But I am typical of a country-town girl and I love it!" As she says in the video "can you express you heart? When leaving 18 years behind where do you start?" To watch the video, visit:
