We have central heating, two veggie gardens and a big back yard.

You will be sharing the house with two women 35+, both working. We like a quiet, respectful and relaxed household and we are very independent. We have drinks together from time to time but most of our socialising is done outside of the house.

MECCARG
Hi locals and interested folk, MECCARG is on this Saturday 4th June, 1-3pm.
Come along and help us to plant and weed.
The recent rain and cooler weather should really help our plants. We have a lot to do and
it would be great to have some extra help.

Look out for the flags!
Friends of Edgars Creek
Hi Friends,
Well there is no doubt winter is soon to be upon (and will officially be here by the time most of you read this I'll assume).
We have our next scheduled planting event this Sunday, June 5th from 10-12.30 PM followed by a celebratory BBQ. This is a Moreland City Council run event (with support from Ausnet) which celebrates World Environment Day 2016. The planting will take place at the Red Gum's area at the corner of Ronald and Danthonia Streets, North Coburg.
Here's a link:
And while I have people's attention; due to unplanned absences for myself and Stephen Northey, the next event on our FoEC calendar has had to be postponed by a week. It will now run on Sunday 26/06/2016 from 1-3PM rather than the original advertised date of 19/6/2016. Our online calendar and Facebook pages have been updated.
And one more thing, for those who haven't had a look at our website recently, we've updated it so take another peak! We will eventually get all of Rob "Robstock" Burnett's photos up there to show the transformation of our key planting sites.
See you on the creek!
Regards,
David.

Hi Newlanders,
I have this baby swing to give away.
It's treated us really well for our 2 babies.
I got it on Newlands so thought I would give it away on Newlands!
Swing motor works but batteries not included.
Call Shannon on 0418 534 805 to arrange a pickup.
Recommendation
I thought I'd pass on the details of Andrew, a gardener who has helped us to transform our garden into something really special.
Whether you're starting from scratch or need help 'tweaking' what you've got to achieve a real sense of aesthetic flow, Andrew is your man!
He also works like an ox and charges an very reasonable hourly rate.
You can contact him on 0430 201 041.
Recommendation
I recently bought and watched a DVD called Polyfaces.
It documents 'the most innovative farmer in the world', Joel Salatin, and the work he is doing to renew landscapes on his Virginia property while raising animals in a humane way.
It made for fascinating and enjoyable viewing - you can watch the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/81468461.
Anyone who'd like to borrow the DVD is most welcome.
Cheers, Cecilia (0422 779 840).
Recommendation Sought

Would like someone who has good people skills and takes a holistic approach.
You can email on morena3058@gmail.com. Thanks so much.

Census Jobs
Hello,
My name is Sally Grant and I am helping to coordinate the ABS 2016 Census for the Moonee Valley, Moreland and Hume region of Melbourne.
I would like to pass information on to your members about job opportunities to work on the Census. These jobs are really suited to community minded people and can be managed around other commitments.
2016 Census – Your moment make to make a difference
August 9 is Census night, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is looking for up to 6,900 dedicated and enthusiastic members of the community to help shape the future of Victoria.
Field Officers will play a critical part in the ABS’ efforts to count approximately 6 million people across the state on Census night.
These casual positions come with flexible hours and are suitable for people from all walks of life. To be considered for the role you’ll need to be a good communicator, comfortable using a computer, tablet or mobile device, reasonably fit, licensed to drive, willing to travel and able to work independently.
In metropolitan areas, Field Officers will only visit households to remind people to complete their online Census form or to request a paper form if they would prefer. For rural and remote areas, Field Officers will hand deliver and collect forms.
Field Officers will earn up to $21.61 per hour, receive motor vehicle allowances and enjoy flexible working hours for up to 3 months.
Applicants must be Australian citizens or have the legal right to work in Australia, and they must hold a valid driver’s licence. To view the applicant information kits and to apply online, visit www.abs.gov.au/careers. Applications close on 29 May 2016.
Applications for Field Offer positions will be open from 2 May. If your application is successful you’ll be helping to gather valuable information that decision makers, government and businesses will use to allocate services, facilities and funding in your community for years to come.
