24.01.2022 AS SEEN ON THE PROJECT Angel Next Door The Project’s Waleed Aly hit the nail on the head when he said: Isn’t it amazing how we kind of need these crises in order to rediscover things that we sort of once had?

19.01.2022 Wadawurrung, Wandana and a message of peace // A moving smoking ceremony by Wadawurrung woman Corrina Eccles has spelled out a powerful message of peace and reconciliation at Villawood’s Wandana community. Her voice cracking with emotion, Corrina stood in front of giant lettering spelling out ‘Wadawurrung Country’ as she delivered an especially relevant message. I stand here today to represent all those people who didn’t have a voice, that had to remain silent. ... They weren’t able to share their identity. They weren’t able to stand here like I do, proudly, and say: ‘I know who I am, I know where I belong. I am Wadawurrung. This is my country, my family’s country and the spirit of my people.’ The ceremony launched the’ Wadawurrung Country’ message in Viallwood’s giant corten lettering above the Geelong Ring Road. The initiative was driven by Committee for Geelong leadership students working with the Wadawurrung and Aboriginal business Arranyinha facilitator Marsha Uppill. The three-metre high letters, visible to thousands of motorists each day, were matched by a large triptych artwork by Mount Duneed’s BJ O’Toole depicting the Wadawurrung countryside. The project is aimed at raising the profile, awareness and recognition of the Geelong region’s first peoples. As Corrina Eccles stressed, it was a highly-visible presence not achieved beforehand. So nyatne, Villawood, you can’t comprehend how much this really means. And nyatne, or thank-you, from Villawood to the Wadawurrung for the opportunity to share such important values. As our Geelong senior development manager Paul Abel stated: The Villawood letters have become an iconic part of the Geelong landscape. We like to use the prominence of this location to support worthwhile community causes and there is no more important cause than supporting the Wadawurrung people and partnering with them on Reconciliation Week.

17.01.2022 ARMSTRONG Mt Duneed resident Katrina Hamilton received the surprise of her life when her favourite AFL player, Tom Stewart gave her a call. The Geelong Cats have teamed up with to acknowledge the outstanding work being done by care workers such as teachers, healthcare professional and emergency services personnel within Victorian communities. Katrina and her husband Dave have been living at Villawood’s Armstrong Mt Duneed community for the past two years after benefitting... from Villawood’s Caring for the Carers program. The initiative was piloted in Geelong early in 2018, when it became apparent that people who provide an invaluable service to the community were increasingly unable to afford to live in the communities they served. The Japanese primary school teacher said it was a great community to be a part of. It is a really good estate, Katrina said. It has grown since we moved in two years ago, but they are building a massive shopping centre across the highway from us, so that is going to be really good when that opens I won’t need to go into town at all. Katrina is a passionate Geelong member and is committed to supporting the club through this challenging period. To date, Villawood has helped more than 60 care workers in the Geelong region to buy land through this campaign, with many voicing that without this they simply would not have been able to afford to buy.

13.01.2022 BROWNHILL LOOKOUT CLEAN-UP // Wandana’s historic Brownhill Lookout is looking a lot tidier thanks to Tyrone Te Haara and Adrian Hau. The Taiamai Group contractors took time out from their normal maintenance work at Villawood’s rapidly-growing Wandana to give the public landmark an overdue scrub and polish. The Brownhill Lookout adjoins Drewan Park, presently undergoing an $800K facelift as part of the new Wandana’s community facilities. ... The lookout dates back to 1908 when the Geelong Progress Association built a wooden lookout at for the purpose of affording visitors a splendid panoramic view of the town and its environs". The area was called Panorama Heights, Ceres at the time. The old wooden structure had disappeared by the 1950s, prompting historian and Geelong Advertiser editor Walter Brownhill to donate the current concrete structure. His father, as president of the Progress Association, had been largely responsible for the original. The Brownhills, including George Brownhill, also an Advertiser editor, have been remembered in the naming of Brownhill Drive in the new Wandana estate.
