Once again Wimmera residents have dug deep to donate to the Royal Children's Hospital's Good Friday Appeal.

The Dimboola community raised almost $2,000 more than last year, with a final tally of $6,365, up from $4,582.

A fundraising barbeque was held at the Lochiel Wayside Stop on Good Friday and a raffle was held with the proceeds of both contributing to the tally.

Jeparit raised $1,299 for this year's Appeal, with local CFA volunteers giving up their time on Friday to canvas the town and visitors for the fishing competition for donations.
