Dreamtime at Pinemont

We were so fortunate to receive an arts grant through The City of Maroondah Council to complete a new playground. Thank you to local Wurundjeri/Yorta-Yorta Artist, Simone Thomson, who has just completed this amazing Dreamtime story ‘We Walk as One’ at the entrance of our Preschool. Please click on the title of the story to read the meaning behind the story and here for more information and photos.
