This week it's International Mountain Day!

Who knew there was such a thing but with mountains hosting about half of the world's biodiversity hotspots, 15% of the world's population, and providing 60 - 80 % of the world's fresh water, mountains matter, including our very own Geboor - Mt Macedon.

On the top of the Macedon range there's around 100 hectares that has been clear felled of pine trees, and in 2023 it was handed back to the State Government. A year later, in June 2024, the State government announced a grant of $1.1 million to fund the restoration process.

It will take time, and money can't replace the care and attention of the people who live with the mountain, us.

So as an end of year gathering, to celebrate International Mountain Day, and to continue to get to know these areas of the mountain, we are hosting a walk and a community BBQ. Wear sturdy shoes, bring a drink and we'll bring the rest.

Free but please book for insurance and planning.
