Please share so as many people as possible see this page. Thank you
Also to the person responsible, thank you I guess, for leaving the screws in such a neat little pile so they could be used again. I’m surprised to you didn’t take those too.

To say I am disappointed doesn’t even go halfway to explain how I feel. Men’s shed, put a lot of time into making these. Not only are people trying to improve our town, by volunteering our time, money etc but to have people do this is incomprehensible. If the trains are returned to the station all will remain anonymous, BUT if not, I’m sure our little trains will be recognised by someone who will know you for what you have done. Please return them to their rightful place, before you are caught out. Before and after photos below
Actually makes you want not to volunteer anymore.

Another example of volunteers making things happen, extracts from the Broadford Football Netball Club page
Exciting happenings through the week. 🎨🤍💙 COLOUR OUR CLUB! 💙🤍🎨Thanks to Dulux and North Melbourne Football Club, Broadford Football Netball Club were incredibly proud to be recipients of the Dulux Colour Our Club initiative, with our much-loved Otway Tuckett Pavilion given the facelift it desperately needed!
The pavilion is home to so many across our community, including junior football and netball, to senior football and netball, and junior and senior cricket
Plenty of volunteers did two massive days back-to-back! President, Bonnie was leading the charge alongside Jaimie, Brooke, Ebony, Christy, Stu Denness, Fletch, Wh**ey, Jack and plenty of other willing hands who jumped in wherever they were needed. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

But a very special shout-out has to go to the professionals who donated their time and skills to give back to their club and community. That sort of selfless contribution means the absolute world to us!
👨‍🎨 D.B Painting: Dave led the way alongside his brother Damien, and having the professionals on deck certainly made a VERY big job look a whole lot easier! We can't thank you enough for giving up your time and expertise for the cause.
Dulux colour experts Amanda and Alex and their fantastic team, who absolutely smashed through the job and kept everyone moving.
Jy Simpkin, Tom Powell, Colby McKercher, Griffin Logue, Dylan Stephens and Bailey Scott from North Melbourne joined us to put the finishing touches on the painting..
To Dulux, North Melbourne FC, D.B Painting, our volunteers, trades, players, members, families and everyone who came down and got involved, THANK You
