The Bush Nippers program returned to Echuca’s Onion Patch this week, brushing up children’s water safety skills and having some fun along the way.

Delivered by Life Saving Victoria and Campaspe Shire Council, the program is specialised to kids growing up on the river.

Riv photographer Steve Huntley was there to capture the action on Monday.
