SUMMARY:ACF Eastern Rosellas: Platypus spotting on the Yarra
DESCRIPTION:Platypus spotting on the Yarra\nSaturday 19 September\, 4.30pm to 6.30pm \nWombat Bend\, Templestowe \nThe Eastern Rosellas community group of the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) is once again hosting a platypus spotting event on Saturday the 19 September from 4:30 to 6:30pm at Wombat Bend in Templestowe Lower. Everyone is welcome. \nThis event is part of the Platy Project\, a joint citizen science campaign of the ACF and the University of NSW. The aim of the project is to assist in mapping platypus habitat\, over time\, across Eastern and Southern Australia. \nIf you are able to be there on September 19\, we’ll guide you to the University of NSW platypus recording site on your phone\, and ask you to pick a comfortable and safe spot along the river bank or on the swing bridge\, and watch. The platypus is nocturnal\, and it starts to forage towards dusk\, earlier on cloudy days. They usually dive for about 30 seconds and surface for 10-15 seconds at a time\, so you need a bit of patience and persistence to see them. But it is restful to sit quietly by a river at sunset\, watching the water and listening to the birds. And it’s a memorable experience if you see a platypus\, especially for the first time and especially for the kids. \nPlease join us in this project if you’re interested and free that day. For more information and to register\, please visit https://community.acf.org.au/eastern_rosellas_vic_platy_project_yarra_at_templestowe_2026

SUMMARY:Outer Eastern Treaty Education and Solidarity Forum
DESCRIPTION:Outer Eastern Treaty Education and Solidarity Forum\nTuesday September 22 from 7pm to 9pm. \nCentral Ringwood Community Centre. \nBedford Park\, 2 Rosewarne Lane (via Bedford Road)\, Ringwood. \n \nLearn about Australia’s first Treaty and how we got here. \nLast year the State of Victoria signed the first Treaty with her First Peoples.

Treaty is good for First Peoples and for all Victorians and should be above party politics. This is why Treaty education and these conversations are so important. \nCome and learn more about the Treaty and how to best show your support for the it. \nNote: RSVPs necessary.

SUMMARY:Canterbury History Group and Surrey Hills Historical Society. Here Comes the Bride
DESCRIPTION:Here Comes the Bride\nMaling Heritage Centre. 190A Canterbury Road\, Canterbury \nMonday 28 September to Friday 9 October (Monday to Friday 2pm to 5pm. Sunday\, 11am to 5pm) \nOver the last few months\, the Canterbury History Group and the Surrey Hills Historical Society have been researching the social history of weddings\, the traditions behind them and the changes that can be seen over time. Why the white dress? And why were orange blossoms so commonly used in bouquets\, buttonholes and bridal coronets? \nTraditionally\, and continuing in some cultures\, marriage reflected class and inheritance\, with partners often chosen by family. Today in Boroondara and more broadly\, weddings still celebrate the marriage of two people and the joining of their families; they demonstrate love and are a time for the couple to celebrate with family and friends and to publicly state their commitment to each other. \nThis exhibition draws upon material held in our collections and within the local community. It includes dresses from the late 1890’s up until today\, over 50 wedding photos\, memorabilia including accessories\, cards and wedding invitations\, over 1000 local marriage announcements and newspaper reports\, and individuals’ stories. \n
