Huge thank you to all the amazing volunteers who helped at our working bee over the weekend! We put over 600 native plants and donated trees in the ground, continued the realignment of boat racks, installation of new boat racks and progressed redecoration work in the Macrae Lounge 🙌🏻🤩
Spring is on its way! We have plants and trees ready to go into our freshly reshaped bund areas and we need your help at our next working bee! Details are on the poster below, or drop us a message if you are interested 🌳
