Wingecarribee Interim Administrator, Mr Viv May PSM, announced on Australia Day that BRA President, Eric Savage, was named “Wingecarribee Citizen of the Year” for 2022.
In accepting the award, Eric thanked Mr May and all the friends and colleagues he had had the pleasure of working with since moving to Berrima in 2002. Eric said that ”the award recognised the importance of the volunteer and community sector in building a just and inclusive society.”
When asked what he like best about living in Berrima Eric said “Definitely the Post Office, where you have to collect your mail and chat to Bronwyn or Judith about nothing and everything in particular. But also Berrima Gaol, Harper’s Mansion, the General Store, Josh’s, the Berrima Museum, and the Little Hand Stirred Jam Shop, the 1830s houses around the Marketplace and Dawn Service on ANZAC Day.”
