Love this.

💚 Congratulations to the Ballarat Women’s Shed on a successful first year 💚

What began on 14 November 2022 as a small group of determined women with a big vision has grown into something truly powerful.

In just a short time, the Ballarat Women’s Shed has become an incorporated charity, found a home in the Big Green Shed, and opened its doors to both members and the wider community.

Today, the shed is a compassionate and inclusive space where women and gender‑diverse people build skills, confidence and connection—whether that’s through power tools, paint brushes, garden beds or simply supporting one another. Well done to all!

The Mount Macedon ANZAC Day Dawn Service is only a few days away.

For your safety, access to the Dawn Service is via bus only. Cameron Drive, Mount Macedon will be closed to all private vehicles including bicycles.

If you are planning to attend the Dawn Service, please book a seat on one of the free bus services that will operate from each township across the Macedon Ranges and Sunbury.

A continuous shuttle service will also operate from Tony Clarke Reserve - Waterfalls Road, Macedon from 4:15am. Bookings are not required for this shuttle service.

Bookings can be made at https://bookings.organscoaches.com.au/anzac/

The Mt Macedon ANZAC Day dawn service is organised completely by volunteers thanks to the generous donations and grants from local businesses and the community.
Lest we forget 🕊️

Every day should be National Walking Day!!! 🚶‍♀️✨🌿

Step outside, breathe it in, feel the ground beneath you, and the wind in your hair…there’s something so healing about simply moving your body and being here. 💛

Stay safe out there, we have some hot days ahead of us.

A severe heatwave is expected over the next few days, with extreme heatwave conditions forecast to be the worst we’ve seen since the Black Summer bushfires.

It won't hurt to give the gardening a miss, or save that long run for another day – stay out of the sun and make a plan to stay cool.

💨 Use air conditioning and fans.

👒 Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat and slide on those shades.

🌡️ Avoid going out during the hottest part of the day.

🚿 Use a wet towel, put your feet in cool water and take cool showers.

💧 Stay hydrated. If your urine is dark, you definitely need more fluids.

⛔ Skip leg day, that Tan Track run, and trimming those bushes – it can wait.
