Groups at 68 Waverley
We host a number of groups in our Community Centre that cater to a range of different interests. Have a look below to see what's on!
We meet at the 68 Waverley Community Centre from 10:00 – 11:30am on the second and fourth Friday of each month.
Friday Friends is a great place to meet a few people, have a little fun and, if you are new to Australia, practice your English with friendly people.
It is a group of mainly retired and semi-retired people who enjoy a range of social activities including indoor bowls, craft and table games. Bring your knitting or crochet if you want!
Cost is $5 and includes morning tea. Check it out a time or two for free.
We would love to answer your questions, let you know what is happening this week and make you welcome. You can call us on 92753773.

These guided walks give you a gentle wander through the bushland in the Dianella Regional Open Space. Your guide has a sound knowledge of the local flora and enjoys sharing that knowledge and learning new things too.
In March, the Noongar season will be 'Bunuru':
Bunuru is represented by the colour orange and is the hottest time of the year.
Bunuru is the hottest time of the year with little to no rain. Hot easterly winds continue with a cooling sea breeze most afternoons – if you're close to the coast.
Traditionally this was, and still is, a great time for living and fishing by the coast, rivers and estuaries. Because of this, freshwater foods and seafood made up major parts of the Noongar people’s diet during Bunuru.
Bunuru is also a time of the white flowers with lots of white flowering gums in full bloom, including jarrah, marri and ghost gums.
Another striking flower to look out for is the female zamia (Macrozamia riedlei). Being much larger than its male counterpart, the huge cones emerge from the centre of the plant with masses of a cotton wool like substance.
As the hot and dry weather continues, the seed cones change from green to bright red, indicating they're ripening and becoming more attractive to animals, particularly the emu, that will eat the toxic fleshy outer layer.
