Local groups from the Hills came together on Sunday 17th July, with support from Yarra Ranges Council grant funding, for the Hills Regrowth and Renewal Festival to follow up the Healing Ceremony held last year with Uncle Murrundindi.
Despite serious storm warnings a big crowd of local people turned out.
A range of local groups were brought together by the Hills Creative Alliance to organise the event, including the Kalorama Collective and Treasuring our Trees with Rotary International, SES and CWA represented, along with others.
Despite the storm arriving at one stage, bringing hail, rain, thunder and lightning, everyone enjoyed the event and took part in the activities.
