South Surrey Park, Surrey Hills, Victoria Australia

We mulched an area extending out from a previous planting down the hill from the footpath that leads from the the low footbridge up to Union Road.  It was a lovely sunny day.

10:00am to 12:00 noon Sunday 29 July 2012 Our next working bee is on National Tree Day. We will be planting the newly prepared area along the creek below the Scout Hall.   Come along wearing suitable clothes and be part of an Australia-wide effort on National Tree Day to do something positive for our environment. There will be tea and coffee for morning tea and Boroondara Council will be providing a delicious barbeque which will be located at Quinton Street.   That will be a good opportunity to meet up with old and new friends as we will be sharing the barbecue with Friends of Back Creek. Contact person for this activity is Maggie White telephone 9888 4479

On  Sunday 24 June 2012 t hirteen willing workers spread out newspapers and underlay and covered with mulch an area at the rear of the Scout Hall. This prepared area, already sprayed by Adrian, will be ready for "National Tree Day" and planted on the last Sunday in July. A pleasant Sunday sunny morning was enjoyed by all participants and work was completed in a very short time. The rest of the time was used removing weeds at creek banks in the same area. Tea and coffee was served and enjoyed at completion of works. Stuart Paxton
