For 80 years, Hopper Electrics has been a fixture in Horsham's business community. As the wholly family-run business celebrates this major milestone in 2025, The Wimmera Mail-Times sat down with the family to uncover the story behind the iconic kangaroo logo and the business's enduring success in servicing the town and district.
