Yarn Time – Aboriginal Storytelling through Arts ✨🌿

What a beautiful afternoon we shared together at our Yarn Time session! We were so happy to welcome more than 40 participants to join us for this meaningful cultural experience led by Thara Brown from Wala Connections.

Participants enjoyed a wonderful movement workshop, storytelling, creative art activities, and the opportunity to learn about ochre painting — including how natural colours are made and mixed with water. Everyone had fun painting on canvas and rocks, and the face painting brought so much joy and laughter to the space.

It was truly special to see our community come together to learn, create, connect, and celebrate Aboriginal culture and heritage in such a warm and welcoming environment.

A heartfelt thank you to Wala Connections and everyone who joined us and made the day so memorable 💛🖤❤️

Last Thursday, we welcomed over 50 community members to Walker Close Community Centre for a vibrant Cultural Diversity Week event with the theme: Lunar New Year - Across Cultures.

Participants enjoyed Vietnamese dance performance and learning the joyful Vietnamese Trong Com dance from Australian Vietnamese Arts & Culture and got creative with origami. We were also delighted by a beautiful Chinese cultural performance by Bonnie from Diversity Academy, who shared the meaning behind Lunar New Year traditions, colours, and special days — and even taught us a graceful fan dance!
Last but not least, A special mention to the delicious dumplings from Oriental Teahouse — they were a big hit and loved by everyone!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event so lively and meaningful. It was a true celebration of culture, connection, and community 💛

We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

Today at our Art & Craft Corner workshop, we spent a relaxing afternoon making beautiful flower crafts together. Even with a small group, the session was full of creativity, laughter, and meaningful conversations.

Our Art & Craft Corner runs every Thursday from 1pm–3pm at Walker Close Community Centre, and we always welcome new members to join us. No experience needed — just come along to relax, create, and connect with others in a friendly space.

And today we also celebrate and wish everyone a Happy International Women’s Day 🌷
May we continue to support, inspire, and uplift one another in our community.
