The last bushwalk from Rushworth Community House was on October 31 - here's a description of the morning, courtesy of Genie.

Bushwalking October 31st 09

Well the warm weather is here, 30 odd degrees and no sign of rain.

This morning Louise arrived at about 8.00, just me and nobody else.

We had a lovely morning at Louise’s wandering around some of her 40 acres, Molly too.

Louise’s aim is to grow plants that are native to the Rushworth area, a real challenge.

I must admit there are a couple of strange people living on her property.

This one I am not sure about, made out of drums but what an imagination.

 

 

There are 2 dams on the property but not much water, oh for some rain.

And Molly of course !!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Louise for your company and giving your time just for me.

Exciting news from the Festival...

Doug Hawkins and Scott West from the Doug Hawkins Football Clinic will be signing autographs and holding a handball competition on the day from 1pm - 4pm

They will also sign a Team of the Century jumper which will be raffled off.

Ashlee Howard and Natasha Chokljat from Melbourne Vixens will also be appearing to hold a netball clinic and sign autographs from 2pm - 4pm...

Hope to see you there!

Below is a short video created from photos taken in 2002 showing the building of the RCH Community Garden and some works from the patchwork and quilting group.

The video above was made by choosing some photos in Live Photo Gallery, using Make a movie, which then loads them into Windows Live Movie Maker. From there all that was involved was to choose Live Movie Maker’s output option to load onto YouTube – all done in no time at all!

The webDotWizards are using Live Movie Maker to create movies, even in high-definition 1080p format, from their photos.
