Tree Day
Green thumbs can enjoy their most ambitious National Tree Day yet, with Brimbank residents invited to Sydenham Park, where it’s hoped 3000 trees will be planted. The park is not usually open to the public, making this a rare chance to explore the steep valleys along the Maribyrnong River. Meet on Sunday, July 27, next to the Keilor golf course at the end of Kings Road, Keilor. Planting is from 10am till 3pm.
