A busy time for the Friends of Willow Park group this morning. More weeding, planting and chatting before a morning tea with Uncle David.
Another mighty effort and exciting news about the renovation of the mural on Pearce St.
Watch this space !!

In a single hour our little group of enthusiastic gardeners transformed the weed-infested patch into a respectable garden again - another rewarding effort!

Senior Celebrations at Willow Park presented by the Friends of Willow Park


A most enjoyable (and informative) morning for all at Willow Park on Friday Oct.10th which opened with a beautiful and respectful Welcome to Country from Uncle David Dunn, in which he shared his appreciation of groups like ours who currently look after country as did the Wiradjuri people before us, the owners and caretakers of the area before white settlement. This was followed by two well-prepared talks on the history of Willow Park by John Whale, and the story behind the formation of the first 'Friends of' group for Wodonga by Pauline Anderson. The walk led by John to the historic Heckendorf Well at Clyde Cameron Park added context to John's historic talk and the morning tea after was the 'cream on the cake' (pun intended). Great work team!

Over a quarter of Australia's butterflies use native grasses as their host-plants – and at least 26 species use 'Tussock Grasses'.

Tussock Grasses (Poa species) are a large group of native 'clumping' grasses that come in different sizes and shades of green. Some species support only a single butterfly – whilst others are used by many. Two of the most used are 'Slender Tussock Grass' and 'Large Tussock Grass'.

Few native grasslands remain and even these are hanging-on in remnant patches. Can you help bring them back? They make great additions to gardens, verges, habitat corridors, parklands, regeneration projects...
