Lots to enjoy at the Explosives Reserve for the next three weekends. Check out contemporary art in the heritage and conservation setting that gives a nod to the Agnes Denes Forest for Australia at the Altona Treatment Plant up the road.

Every Tuesday volunteers from the Men’s Shed gardening group take care of Truganina Explosives Reserve so it always looks great for open days on the first Sunday of each month - getting ready for our Linger Longer event on 5th October. Fingers crossed for good picnic weather!

We don’t quite have the picnic weather we anticipated but Truganina Explosives Reserve will still be open this afternoon with volunteers on site. Threatening winds will likely preclude tours in the conservation area but the restored houses are a delightful sanctuary, and we have tea and biscuits to offer!

Plenty of pine cones for the taking from inside the fence at Truganina Explosives Reserve this Sunday (open 1-4 pm).
