24.01.2022 Brené with Priya Parker on The Art of Gathering Gatherings crackle and flourish when real thought goes into them, when (often invisible) structure is baked into them, and when a host has the curiosity, willingness, and generosity of spirit to try. We learned so much about gathering and true connection from listening to this podcast. Take a listen and set some intention on how you connect with the people you love.... The Slipway Collective has set some REAL intentions for how we want people to feel when they come into our outdoor dining space. All very thought provoking!

We cant wait to repurpose this beautiful site ... all before Christmas!... #lakesentrance #slipway

Ben talks about how people will be coming to drink at our pubs and eat at our cafes and stay in our B&Bs and peruse our shops and wander our streets and beaches. ... As communities we need to be OPEN & ready for these different types of tourists. A new type of local tourist is coming to discover our offerings and experience our culture and WILL be reporting back on it to their insta followers and friends. Ben warns us that they are going to be a bit of a nightmare. Therefore as #Gippsland lets make sure we do our absolute best to welcome tourists graciously so that people will feel the Gippsland We want people to Facebook the heck out of this place telling their friends how friendly and wonderful our part of the world is. As locals, you can help too ... simply by sharing a smile and a hello goes a long way. We are only as good as each other and were all in this together! This is our big opportunity!!! #getready

10.01.2022 We are so excited to learn that Gab Moore has taken this award out!

09.01.2022 A great morning filming a digital-sneak-peek of the Slipway Collectives evolution. Ours will be a tiny slice of the whole story, but soooo good to get a glimpse of the possibilities. Thanks to Gippsland Ports and Theos for helping us to get some sneak peek access . And thanks to Darren Chester @lovegippsland for his cheer from the sidelines on his morning run :-). A lovely sunny winter vibe. Thanks to @wesleystephensphotography for doing all the pro stuff with his camera - cant wait to see his shots. And tks to Sam Mahlook for doing much more work than I said :-) @miriamsrestaurant

09.01.2022 THE SLIPWAY SHEDS ON THE ESPLANADE, LAKES ENTRANCE

08.01.2022 Yes. Were coming :-) (Slowly) In the meantime were loving these Slipway icons created as part of the FIELDWORK project - funded by Creative Victoria - that is allowing us to work so hard to activate an artspace in Lakes Entrance. These by Lead artist/curator Josephine Jakobi. Merch to come one day :-)! @josephinejakobi @float3909 @creative_vic @slipway_lakes_entrance #makingprogressattheslipway

08.01.2022 Seems we have a total Esplanade activation happening around us :-)

08.01.2022 Joe Rettino says this about the Slipway Collective ... #collaboration #trust #GSD This project is happening because people trust each other in this unique collaboration, and works to the strengths of peoples skills and talent. The idea was born over coffee with mates who love the power of collaboration. This is a unifying project that brings together talented artisan people to reactivate a disused industrial property. This Slipway site is significant in many ways and many re...asons. It was the original slipway work yard for Gippsland Ports to keep the important fishing fleet maintained. The site is an icon site for Lakes Entrance as it represents an opportunity to bring people together to celebrate and enjoy the provenance of great produce and arts. This project has the potential to turn Lakes Entrance into the place to be this summer and to enhance the natural assets of the town. Theres a lot of family holiday summer fun/nostalgia locked up in peoples hearts and minds. This project will unlock this potential and become a case study for many similar opportunities in Regional Australia. The Lakes Slipway project facilitates people working together for community outcomes and of course Getting Stuff Done. #gsd #lakesentrance #slipwaycollective #joerettino #collaboration #mindet #buildingcommunity

08.01.2022 Tell us your stories ... . ( Artwork by @josephinejakobi )

Thanks for the share Gippslandia

07.01.2022 A useful belief is positive thinking in action. The Slipway collective has a useful belief that the Slipway project is an important recovery step for Lakes Entrance and East Gippsland.

There are four very passionate women ready to make this project come to life Miriams Restaurant, Sailors Grave Brewing, FLOAT & Gippsland Jersey
