Some Girls
NEWLANDS MUMS KIDS’ BOOK!
Newlands mum Nelly Thomas - and resident comedian - has written a a great new children’s book and she’s seeking your support via a Pozible campaign. It was also illustrated by another Newlands mum – Sarah Dunk – so it’s 100% local!
The book is called SOME GIRLS and challenges gender and other stereotypes (SOME BOYS IS COMING IN 2018).
Please show these local talented artists support by spreading the word.
You can personally support their project via the POZIBLE LINK HERE
Some Girls is a story about how everyone is different and special in their own way. It’s about knowing that you can do, and be, anything you want.
Whether your girl is rough, tough, gentle or pretty, this book is for her.
She might have short hair, long hair, big hair or strong hair - Some Girls says all girls can look however they want.
Read it with the young kids in your life and show them early that…
“ALL KIDS CAN BE WHOEVER THEY WANT”!

Thanks Newlanders, I think I now have enough boxes, but does anyone have any bubble wrap or even newspapers I could have???
House Sitter Required
HOUSE SITTER REQUIRED: 21 Sept - 11 Oct in COBURG NORTH
We need a house sitter and carer for our dog and chickens.
The dates are: 21st of September to the 11th of October.
Our home is a lovely, 3 bedroom clincker brick in Coburg North surrounded by creek and park lands and a close walk to the Coburg Basketball stadium and Murray Rd transport. The house is equiped with the usual mod cons and a undercover deck for entertaining.
Most importantly, we have 3 chickens which need to have food and water topped up and a 2.5 year old black labrador that needs to be fed and walked. She is really lovely, gentle and healthy.
Call me to discuss dates if you are interested. :-)

Adopt a Native Pea
Come and celebrate spring!
Adopt a Native Pea at the Murnong Patch.
NB: Could be the perfect non-stuff present for Dad (and the family*).
Saturday 2nd September 1-3 pm south of Murray Rd bridge, between Merri Trail and Connolly Avenue.
Hello locals and nearby neighbours,
Native Peas are an important part of our grassland. You may think they are tough little herby things; they are, but only once truly established. If we plant them in winter, they get a bit shocked and survival rates are quite low; if we plant them in spring they enjoy the warmer conditions but need a bit of nurturing over their first summer. Some are not very big so harder to track to learn how to do it right.
So planting Native Peas this Saturday leaves us with a slight problem ... and you, locals and near neighbours, may be the solution!
We are looking for people willing to:
- Come and plant some Native Peas with us on Saturday 2nd of September 1-3 pm.
- Add a label nearby plus record the planting position on a map, (so can be found again!). We also keep a copy of the map.
- Then ‘adopt’ 2-3 plants by checking on them every so often.
The checks and care are:
- Small watering (yes, small, maximum a small bucket a few times over summer).
- Note how they are doing.
- Maybe some gentle weeding at your own convenient time over the coming year.
These casual visits are easy for locals and nearby neighbours but if you are really committed, please step forward! The rewards could be flowering (and seeding, how exciting!) this year or the next. It could also be a ton of fun and learning, a lovely local networking opportunity and the chance to experience the seasonal looks and moods of the amazing and beautiful Murnong Patch while expressing true Caring for Country Together.
Oh, there will also be plenty else to do to enhance and care for the Murnong Patch including some less sensitive plantings.
* Family units and teams of friends or neighbours are welcome. It is up to you what you call family: married, not married, straight, gay, with children, without children ... We are after families (or persons) who value nature.

Spring Equinox Cleansing Workshop
Hello everyone!
I have been busy researching & designing new workshops for Spring & Summer.
First one to celebrate the warmer months will be the Spring Equinox Cleansing Workshop on Sunday 24th September.
Spring Equinox is associated with rebirth & renewal, making spring a good time to cleanse. As we gently move out of our winter hibernation, the equinox marks a good time to reenergise the mind, body & spirit through movement & nourishment.
In a holistic approach combining yoga, nutrition & herbalism, this workshop will discuss medicinal properties of selected ingredients that support health & wellbeing during this shifting season. We will look at practical ways to support the kidneys, liver & digestive health as we begin to move closer to the warmer months of the year.
This 3-hour workshop will include:
- 90 minute yoga flow & meditation: a considerate yoga flow, aimed to create internal heat and begin the cleansing process, focused around the organs of spring (liver & gall bladder)
- 90 minute nutrition & wellness component that will discuss selected foods & herbs, their cleansing & medicinal properties, along with a demonstration & tasting*
When: Sunday 24th September, 2pm – 5pm
Where: Grace Revolution, Level 1/462 Smith St, Collingwood
Cost: $100 early bird ticket (if you book before
Or $120 (after 1st September)
Workshop is limited to 20 places.

Call to Action
Urgent!! Help to fight bad development beside the Merri.
You can help us fight a proposal to build 21 townhouses of 3 or 4 storeys each, on a site in a bend of Merri Creek.
The steep site, in Spry Street, Coburg North, currently has one house. Many of the townhouses would be less than 20 metres from the top of the creek bank, with roofs towering 10-12m above the shared path - the picture is from the developers application. Some balconies are less than 3m from the Creekside open space.
A planning specialist is able to assist us in arguing for a better outcome at the Appeals Tribunal on 11th September. The Friends and local residents have already contributed and are seeking donations to help pay the fees (heavily discounted).
We need to make the best possible case to protect our creek valley from intrusive over-development like this.
PLEASE MAKE A DONATION to FoMC via EFT: Bendigo Bank BSB 633000, Account 143872729. Reference: Spry St.
Thanks so much!

Hello Newlanders!
My family and I are planning our next visit to Melbourne for Jan-March 2018 and would be most grateful for any information on house sitting or sublet opportunities during that time suitable for a tidy and responsible family of three (Mum, Dad and almost-two-year-old).Although I'm originally from Melbourne, I've been based overseas for the last few years and am excited that this will be my first trip with my son. I'll be undertaking a research residency at the State Library of Victoria during that time and we would be happy to take care of gardens, dogs, cats, chickens or anything you need, and of course also to provide personal, local references from previous house sits and employers at the University of Melbourne.

I have a request on the behalf of Coburg High School.
We have a wonderful group of teachers involved in creating a mural for the school around the "Respectful Relationships" initiative.
We need exterior paint and wondered if anyone had some left over from a project and would like it to go to a good cause.
If you can help please email parents.association@coburg.vic.edu.
Please Return
On Saturday afternoon (between 4 - 5.30pm) I was teaching my son how to ride his bike along the path in FG Cox Reserve, when his red AFL footy ball which I had left under a tree near the BBQs was taken.
If this was picked up by accident can you please return to us - just throw it over the fence 8 Claremont Street (just near the park). My son was very upset that someone could take his footy ball from him as he loves kicking the ball around!!
Thanks. Gretchen.
