Did you watch us on Gardening Australia on Saturday, 27th July? We did! We watched us heaps!
Great to see some effective community work profiled nationally. Well done everyone. Topped off the very next day by another tree planting frenzy beside the Rifle Club!

Rifle Club Mural and Working Bees for July and August 2013
The Stationeers have been busy this year with the
Northcote Rifle Club in commissioning the mural you see on the side of the club
building. The Stationeers and Rifle Club are grateful recipients of a community grant from the Darebin City Council (DCC) for the mural and associated
plantings.
The Rifle Club called for expressions of interest from community artists under advice from DCC and settled on Graffic Creative on reviewing their collective's portfolio of similar work. Jimmy B led a team of artists in designing, installing and painting the "nature and wildlife" themed mural, incorporating elements of street art to more traditional artistic elements.
