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.

This morning our Butcher's BBQ is in aid of Kids In Need. Money raised is distributed to the three local Primary Schools in the WHYLD area to help families doing it tough.
After we finish at the Butcher's BBQ, we will be heading out to the Father's Day Market at the Don Valley Hall to continue on there. $3 will buy you a sausage in bread with onions. Love to see you even if the rain is a bit of a dampener.

❄️ Winter Warming Wrap-Up ❄️

What a wonderful evening celebrating the Winter Solstice with our community. From the live music, face painting and lantern decorating to the beautiful lantern parade, community bonfire, roast chestnuts and toasted marshmallows, it was a magical way to welcome the return of the light.

A special thank you to:
💙 1st Woori Yallock Scout Group for generously providing the use of their hall and for running the BBQ in support of their Scout Group.
🧥 Woori Community House for hosting the Winter Woollies Store.
🎨 Danielle from Wonderific for the wonderful face painting that brought so many smiles.
☕ Steve from Valley Xpresso for keeping everyone warm with delicious coffee and hot chocolate
🎶 Richard and Kym from Bluebird Music Studios for providing the fantastic live music and creating such a welcoming atmosphere.
🔥 Hillcrest CFA for safely managing the community bonfire and for everything you do to support our local community. Thank you also to everyone who donated to help support your volunteers.
🏮 The Cailleach for leading our lantern parade and serving traditional Kinderpunsch, adding a touch of magic to the evening.

Finally, thank you to everyone who worked behind the scenes and to every person who came along to celebrate with us. Events like this are only possible because of the generosity, enthusiasm and community spirit of so many people.

Thank you for making Winter Warming such a memorable celebration. We hope to see you again next year as we gather once more to celebrate the Winter Solstice. ❄️
