And … if you feel inspired you might even like to join up … everyone is welcome … but they especially need some men with nice deep voices!

More details are out so you can plan your day.

We’re super excited about Music from the Wetlands! Such a fun and fabulous family day down by the Yarra at the bottom of View Street.
