Following on from the success of our Northern Gramps Girls Can campaign last year where council lit up exercise spaces in the early mornings, several of the shire’s sporting facilities are due to light up again in 2026. Between May 4 and September 30, spaces in Stawell and St Arnaud will light up from 6pm to 7.30pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and from 6am and 7am on Wednesday mornings.

Situated between the Halls Gap Primary School and Venus Baths is this community garden devoted to our local Grampians Gariwerd plants. We show a wide range of local plants, from tall trees to tiny trigger plants, from damp areas and mountain peaks. The only plants we have difficulty growing are the ones that prefer wide open grassland areas.
All maintenance work is done by volunteers and we would very much like to see more volunteers (you don't need to be knowledgeable). We have working bees on the second and fourth Friday of the month.
The weeds have loved the wet winter, so for the month of September, we plan to have a working bee every Friday.
We welcome visitors, particularly children, and the gardens are also available for weddings etc by arrangement.
