Wadawurrung Dancers

The Deadly Dance Troupe consists of Aboriginal children growing up connected and sharing their traditional stories through dance. The children have been performing traditional dance for 3 years and will treat us to the creation dance, show-off dance and the cleansing women’s dance on Saturday following the Welcome to Country and speeches. The Deadly Dancers came 2nd in their category at the VLGA Victorian Reconciliation Week Hart Awards in 2015 so we look forward to seeing this performance from our local young talent.

Boating & Floating

Howard started his career in Queenscliff as a boat builder where he specialised in building timber boats. He then moved onto construction work in the commercial industry working on large scale developments and projects. Howard then made the transition to the domestic industry over 20 years ago where he now specialises in architectural homes around the coast.

Howard’s meticulous attention to detail and craftmanship which he developed whilst a boat builder is reflected in the homes that he builds and quality that he delivers in every project. Being a member of the Alternative Technology Association, Howard is up to date with the latest technology and environmental practices that support a sustainable future.
