Whyld is a community group for the residents of Woori Yallock, Hoddles Creek, Yellingbo, Launching Place and Don Valley. Uniting our five small townships means a more connected community and the chance to improve our lifestyle here in the Whyld district. Projects we’re currently working on include a free community event called Winter Warming and a proposal to council for a new walking trail to con

nect Don Valley with the rail trail. Read more about Whyld

We are always looking for more locals to join us, for occasional volunteers and simply for ideas on how we can make Whyld an even better place to live. Email us or drop in to our next meeting.

Meet the Cailleach This Winter Warming

As many of the early white settlers in the WHYLD area had strong Celtic roots —Irish, Scottish, Cornish, Welsh and French— our Winter Warming celebration draws on several Celtic traditions, including the lighting of bonfires and lanterns to brighten the longest night of the year.

In 2024, the ancient winter spirit, The Cailleach, led the Winter Warming lantern parade for the very first time, bringing a touch of Celtic folklore to the celebration.
This year, she'll return once more to guide us through the darkness and welcome the turning of the season.

🔥 Join us on Sunday 21 June (4-7pm) to celebrate the longest night of the year.
🏮 Walk in the lantern parade.
❄️ Meet the Cailleach and embrace the magic of winter.

Gather around the fire, share in the warmth of community, and help us light up the night.
