We are planning various events over the coming years to support families in their healing journey after the trauma of the storm. 

Storm Recovery Festival - Monbulk

The first event we attended was the Storm Recovery Festival in Monbulk, where we launched the Children's Book - The Story of THE BIG STORM (available above). We had water paints for the kids and an art exhibition that showcased the beautiful artwork of the children of Mt Dandenong Primary School, in their response to the storm, and the story. 

The Chestnut Festival

2022 Local Chainsaw artist in Shlomit Moria sculpted a Wombat on the day. We also auctioned the Laughing Koobaburra. It was a big hit and we raised $3,300 for the Mt Dandenong Pre School.

2023 saw us almost blown away with bad weather but as always in the Hills, we just kept going! Sioux Dollman supported creating a beautiful artwork - The Magic under the Chestnut Tree which is now available for sale (contact us for more details).

Family Movie Nights - FREE ENTRY

After the success of our first Movie night we are planning to run Family Movie Nights across the year to make free fun accessible for families across the Hill. Send us your movie ideas and get the popcorn ready for the big screen! 

If you have ideas for events please contact us as we're always looking for new ideas on how we can support this journey we are all on. 

When you have a tree fall on your block, there are many options for what you can do with it. Perhaps one of the most satisfying things is to mill the logs on site.

This allows you to watch it dry, changing the colours, and sometimes shape of the timber. It also allows you to imagine what you can create with it.
