Banyule & Nillumbik Hello and Welcome to our August issue, 'Out with the old and in with the new' I am happy to welcome our new owner/editor of Your Child in Banyule & Nillumbik ‐ Samantha Windebank. You will meet Samantha in the September issue. I would like to thank Christine Ernest (Your Child in Whittlesea) for her overwhelming assistance in continuing to publish YCBN Christine works very hard on her own successful magazine, has 5 children and extended family to care for. She has given her time unstintingly ‐ THANK YOU Christine your efforts have been very much appreciated.

I have recently had family visiting from WA with a three and a half year old, we took her to the Diamond Valley Miniature Railway ....what a surprise, I haven't been there for years and I was amazed at the changes all for the better it was brilliant, I totally recommend it as a day out for young and old.

Don't forget the Hurstbridge Wattle Festival on Sunday the 30th of August and check out our What's On page for dates and times for FREE tutoring (Primary to VCE) that is available at your local library.

And don't miss our great reading this month, grab yourself a cuppa or a glass of whatever and relax before the little darlings break up for the holidays.

What’s on...

Kids Corner Great Reading

Bye and thank you for your support, I wish you a fabulous month!

2015

The Hurstbridge Wattle Festival is a significant cultural event for Melbournians that has its roots firmly planted in our early rail history. It's a joyous celebration of our heritage, environment and community.

Festival goers view the wattles in a blaze of glory along the Diamond Creek as they approach the township of Hurstbridge. As visitors stroll the main street and the various Festival precincts, they enjoy a fabulous and extensive array of entertainment, events and activites for all the family, many of them free.
