Contributor's comments: The words Riverina Bluebells has also been used to describe ladies of the Riverina who are Councillors of the Federation of P&C Associations of NSW. A group of them at one stage wrote a song about themselves. Our Riverina Bluebells are certainly hard-wroking women supporting public education from their area!
