Hearty thanks to go out to all the volunteers who put in a good 4 - 8 hours on 14 June including Evan, Doug, Andrew, Ian, Tom, Glenn, Jo and Marius, the Duffs, the Walducks and the Wenns. Special thanks to Jo Clancy from Landcare and Cori from Woodend Bakery Cafe who supplied the beverages and slices.

Beautiful oaks now see the light of day, safety of the creek embankment has been enhanced, the tennis courts, bike trail, toilets and extra barbeque facilities are all now more visible from the main Park. It has brought the entire community complex together. Good humour and comraderie made this day a delight for everyone involved.
