We hope to see you on the Creek this Sunday as we undertake the last planting activity of the year - maintenance events to follow in October and November.

This is traditionally our Christmas in September so please bring along some beverages and food for yourself and join us in a celebration of doing great work on Edgars Creek.

As usual, Ben and I will be on the creek a bit earlier than the designated time of 1PM so please contact to let me know if earlier is better for you.

Supporting Palestinians

Hi all.  

Here's a fundraiser to pay Palestinians to pick olives for the upcoming harvest.

The man who owns the farm has a big dream for sustainable food for Palestinian families (you can read more in the link). He would usually have volunteers to pick the olives, but there are no volunteers there now. The harvest needs to be picked at the right time and the locals need the money. 

Please support as you can.

Free

Hi Newlands Community,

I have a free Singer sewing machine Model 1007 to give away. It’s an easy machine to use and sews very well, although the bobbin winder mechanism no longer functions. Maybe someone with the skills could get it winding those bobbins again.

It comes with some bobbins, extra feet, a pedal and, cover.
