A community of communities

Communities that register for a CGDN join a network of other communities that are online Australia wide. This network allows the opportunity to share experiences and learn from the many other live CGDN websites.
 
www.welshpool.vic.au has made a “links to other sites” section on their website which acknowledges help they have received from other CGDN websites around Australia including www.mirboonorth.vic.au, www.narromine.nsw.au, www.wollombi.nsw.au, www.koonwarra.vic.au and www.buninyong.vic.au.

Many CGDN websites have included links on their home page of their website to the .au Community Domains website so that visitors can have a look at other community websites.  www.avoca.vic.au  also include a link to the latest CGDN website to go live.

In the “Have Your Say: section on www.upperferntreegully.vic.au  Koonwarra and Avoca both list congratulatory posts to the Upper Fern Tree Gully community and express kind thoughts about their experiences as being part of the CGDN family.
