What's on
Over the last two years, we’ve transformed a section of your much-loved creek into a more natural, vibrant and enjoyable community space. Now, it’s time to celebrate!
Join us for a fun-filled day with activities for all ages: live music and entertainment, face painting, educational activities, an adventure hunt and more!
Be there for the official unveiling and guided tour of the Wilami Wunmabil Trail, a Wurundjeri cultural immersive trail - a mix of signage, art and digital media.
