Where: MCCG Cottage, end Gold Creek Road, Brookfield

Date: Sunday 30th May 2010

Time: 10 am to noon with a free sausage sizzle to follow

It's never too early to become involved with groups who look after our
environment. Moggill Creek Catchment Group (MCCG) has planned a fun morning
of free workshops for kids on Sunday 30th May at their Gold Creek Cottage.
From 10 am till noon, activities will include: propagating seedlings;
painting clay animals, puzzles and leaf shapes; making jewellery with
recycled materials. There will also be getting to know wildlife sessions
where children can meet and touch some of our local wildlife species, and a
free sausage sizzle from noon.

A special highlight will be a group photography walk for young people with
MCCG member Margaret Whyte at 10.30 am and 11.30 am. Margaret, who with her
grandson John (pictured) has been searching for seeds for the jewellery
workshop, commented: "This will be a great opportunity for young people to
prepare for the MCCG Photography Competition to be held later in the year.
We have both Junior (up to Grade 7) and Senior (up to Grade 12) categories
in the competition and there are cash prizes to be won!"


The focus of the day will be on fun activities for young people and for
parents it will be a good chance to find out more about the Cottage and the
MCCG. Parents, when not assisting young children with their chosen workshop
may browse in our reference library and our nursery.

All materials required for the workshops (except the photography walk) will
be provided, so just bring your hat and your camera! There is no need to
book, however any enquiries may be directed to
