Hi All,

I am looking at getting a small group together to organise a family Harvest Festival in Waterworks Reserve around the last Sunday 29th of March.

If anyone is interested in helping, the idea is to have all the catchment letterboxed and invited to bring their home made produce of any description for giving, exchanging or selling.

Will also have some old style entertainments such as facepainting, apple bobbing and guessing games as well as some live joyful music.

Give me a ring or email if you are interested or leave a comment below.

And…. the Princes Street school veggie garden looks great and is exciting a lot of interest within the school community. So thanks to all those Waterworks folks who have contributed.

Like to increase your enjoyment of the Waterworks Reserve – by knowing more about the local wildlife?

You are invited to come along with your family and friends and join Dennis Abbott who will help us learn more about observing the birds in our valley recording what we see.

This is the third of three such events, bringing experts in their field.

Come to the Sustainable Home Expo…. it’s on 1st week-end of November.

Green technologies, ideas, contacts, interesting talks… or just a place to catch up with friends.

A rather bad clash, this event is on same day as Home Expo. But it’s just down the road, so maybe go to both?

From all accounts the uniquely constructed Bahai premises is well worth seeing.

Here they are. Olympic (climate) torch relay passing the Waterworks quarry on a very cold wintry August 13th.

The torch is being relayed around Australia during the Olympic games - as part of a climate action campaign co-ordinated by ‘Get Up!’.

We wish to thank Margaret at Sustainable Living Tasmania for organising this leg of the tour.

Waterworks community has been well represented (myself, Dorka and Horst, Glenda and Phil, Chris, Steff and Vica) in working bees at Princes Street Primary School vegetable garden.

Rebecca Boyle plus and other parents have been keen to introduce a culture of environmental awareness in the school and have started a small vegetable garden, worm farm and composting heap near the kindergarten and child care centre – and more recently some beds for fruit trees and vines.

ABC Radio National is holding a My Street competition to unearth some great stories about Australian communities as part of its Street Stories program.

People throughout Australia are being invited to tell the tale of their street using video, audio, images and/or text. The story can be recorded on a mobile phone, an MP3 player, a video or digital camera, or it could be a written description or a series of photos with captions.

Entries will be uploaded onto the Radio National website and the producer of the best story will have the opportunity to work with a producer to record and edit a radio story about their street.

Entries close on November 7 – click HERE to find out more.

Is there a creative person out there who would like to put something together? If so, please leave a comment below or email us HERE.
