Congratulations to NCWV members for Australia Day and Queens Birthday Awards
Diya, May, Pam, Eleanor, Freda, Elisabeth, Janet, Hean Bee, Janice, Elida
58th NCWV Australia Day Pioneer Women’s Ceremony:
This event will be held on Monday 21st January in the Women’s Peace Garden, Epsom Road Kensington, 10:00 for 10:30am start, finishing at around 11:30am.
The garden was designed with the ‘peace’ symbol and the ‘female’ symbol. This park was built on the old Newmarket saleyards which closed in the 1980s, after which they were developed into medium density housing. The heritage of the area has been remembered with many of the old peppercorn trees also the bluestone paths and post and rail fences. The garden was built in 1986 to commemorate the International Year of Peace. It was designed by a team of women with plants chosen to fit with the colours of the Women’s Movement and to symbolise remembrance. The Lord Mayor of Melbourne, the Right Honourable Sally Capp will be the speaker.
Melways 2T, G3. Street parking is available in Market St and Woodruff St. Nearby there is the Flemington Rd tramline and Newmarket train station. This is a free event, all are welcome, but to ensure we have sufficient chairs and water (BYO bottle), please reply to this invitation by email: info@ncwvic.org.au
