'Bring On The Christmas Spirit' - Eastern Creek RFB Santa Runs - Minchinbury Community Page
I think it is great that some of our local communities organise Santa Runs around the community - Here is one just outside Mount Druitt. I personally would like to see this as something that could be organised by Blacktown City Council - parading during the day through local streets: giving gifts donated by other community members / local business to needy children and families - a touch of happiness on their day.
🎄 🎅🏻 2018 SANTA RUNS!! 🎅🏻 🎄
It’s come to the time of year where Eastern Creek RFB have been asked to help take Santa around in the firetruck to visit the areas around our station.
Below is a letter for each of the places we will be driving Santa to see all the good boys & girls where they can meet him, grab a quick photo & get some lollies. We will be posting times closer to the day, so make sure you keep track of his whereabouts!!
We will see you there 😃

Blacktown City Council - Media Release - Koori Elders Group Wins Te 2018 Blacktown City Art Prize
6 December 2018
Bankstown Koori Elders Group take out the $15,000 first
prize at the 2018 Blacktown City Art Prize for Tribal Pride, a
190 cm sculptural work made from clay, wood and sand.
“The pride we get when we see it all come together as one
work of art is encouraging; the enjoyment we get as a mob is
very uplifting,” said the Elders, who also won the Aboriginal
Artist Prize in 2016. “For us to gather together to create art is
wonderful and inspirational.”
Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP, said it was a
pleasure to award the Koori Elders Group with the 2018
Blacktown City Art Prize.
“Blacktown City Council believes that art and culture has a
central role to play in the development of our city,” said
Mayor Bali.
“Now in its 23rd year, Blacktown City Art Prize is a major
cultural event in Western Sydney.
“For the second year running we received over 600 entries
from local artists and from across Australia. Tribal Pride by
the Koori Elders Group was a standout.”
The judging panel, Tony Albert, Emily McDaniel and Dominik
Mersch, faced the difficult task of selecting the winning
works.
“The final works reflect the cultural diversity of Western
Sydney by sharing localised stories and reflections of the
place and community; they remind us that the artist is a
storyteller first and foremost,” said the judges.
“Although Tribal Pride is a contemporary ceramic work, it
acknowledges traditional cultural practices such as carving,
evident through delicate and precise line work.”
Highly Commended were Jane Theau for #MeToo, and
Mohsen Meysami, Green, Blue, Yellow, Red.
Fozia Zahid of Blacktown was awarded the Local Artist Prize
for Country Out of the Man, a painting that captures a quiet
moment in Western Sydney.
“It evokes a sense of place and community that can only be
expressed by someone who holds a personal connection to
this place,” said the judges.
Highly commended was Belinda Sims of Lalor Park
for Saudade: Portrait of Janet and Leo Kelly at Home, 2018,
described by the judges as “a loving and endearing portrait
of two significant community members that have contributed
greatly to the thriving artistic community of Blacktown.”
First prize in the Aboriginal Artist category was Venessa
Possum for Damana (Hand).
The judges commended the intimacy in the artist’s
representation and the assemblage of the piece which is “a
thought-provoking and conceptual work that challenges
perceptions of contemporary Aboriginal art practice.”
Highly Commended was Blak Douglas for Workers (for the
Dole) Club.
The Blacktown City Art Prize is proudly supported by Ford
Land Company, WestLink M7, Blacktown Workers’ Club and
Blacktown City Council’s Environmental Services.

 Night work on the M4-M5 WestConnex Stage 3 is about to start in the inner west. Tunneling will occur just 17m below the surface of some homes in Camperdown risking serious damage. This project does not have community consent, the 'consultation' has been a farce and the information sessions are useless tick-a-box exercises.

Join us at a protest this Wednesday to tell this government that our community doesn't need another dirty, polluting toll-road. WHAT: Protest start of night work at WestCONnex Camperdown dive site WHERE: Corner of Mallett St & Parramatta Rd, Camperdown WHEN: Wed 5 Dec, 6-7pm Facebook event link Speakers include: Jenny Leong MP Jamie Parker MP Clr Jess Miller Clr Marghanita da Cruz Clr Pauline Lockie Clr Lou Steer John Lozano Music by Patrick Harte from Ecopella This action has been initiated by Newtown Residents Against WestCONnex and Camperdown Residents Against WestCONnex and endorsed by Annandale No WestCONnex, Leichhardt Against WestCONnex, Rozelle Against WestCONnex, No WestCONnex - Public Transport, and WestCONnex Action Group.
