While you're out and about this weekend, check out a new sculpture by the Maribyrnong river.
Babanh-u laangi-yuuyuk-a (Mother of Pearl) is a playable sculpture by Edwina Green commissioned through a recovery grant after the flood in 2022. Thank you Moonee Valley City Council for inviting us to the launch on Thursday as part of Reconciliation Week.
It represents the turbulence and waves of water and the emotions connected to the flood - as well as calm and beauty.
These big kids had a lot of fun playing on it on Thursday! Find it next to The Boathouse cafe in Moonee Ponds when you're ready for your own fun!

As draws to a close, we’d like to highlight a very special volunteer at VICSES Essendon Unit; Brian Lynch.
If you’ve met Brian, at community event, as a member of the unit, or if he turned up to help when you needed it, let us know!

On Saturday, volunteers from VICSES Essendon Unit stood along side our community at Anzac Day ceremonies across Moonee Valley.
Anzac Day is a time to remember, reflect, and honour those who have served, past and present.
The ANZAC spirit of courage, mateship, and sacrifice guides our volunteers in serving the community.
Lest We Forget.
