From Melbourne to Berrigan Shire – Rick Shaw’s Country Change Success Story!

In our latest Country Change Webinar, host Laticia Braving chats with Rick Shaw, who made the move from Melbourne to Finley in Berrigan Shire with his wife Debbie back in 2018. Their story is one of community, opportunity, and good old-fashioned values.

Rick shares how a yearly visit to a mate in Finley turned into a life-changing decision — opening the now-thriving Finley Country Club, a beloved pub and bistro that employs 25–30 locals and dishes out over 1,000 meals a week!

Thanks to the success of their first business, Rick and Debbie opened The Bend in Tocumwal, a stunning Murray River destination dining venue using local produce, hosting weddings, and offering some of the best river views in the region.
