8:00 am: Weekly Mall Walking - Ellenbrook Central Shopping Centre
–
April 16, 2026
Here is your chance to get active! So join us every Thursday morning at 8.00am at the Ellenbrook Central Community Space (at the bottom of the escalator) between Coles and K-mart. Walk with one of our Ellenbrook Mile hosts as we circle inside the shopping centre in air-conditioned comfort and meet new friends.
Each lap is approximately one kilometre & our goal is to complete 4 laps. However, only you know your fitness level best so you can sit out a lap or part of a lap if you so wish. You are in charge!
And that's not all. You may wish to join us for a friendly chat & cuppa afterwards at one of the cafes in the shopping centre.
We hope to see you soon.

11:30 am: The Mindful Makers Gathering
–
April 16, 2026
This is not your typical craft group with set projects or expectations. It’s more like a curiosity shop of creating — a welcoming circle where women gather to share stories and mindfully explore whatever supplies are on hand.
A basket of donated and shared materials will be available to spark inspiration and you’re always welcome to bring along your own project too. There’s something quietly exciting about exploring together — discovering what emerges when we slow down, follow our curiosity and create side by side.
- No perfection required
- No experience necessary
- Just a gentle invitation to connect
This is a blend of women’s social gathering and mindful making — a space to feel lighter when you leave, yet fuller from meaningful connection.
You'll find us upstairs at Darius Wells in the David Nelson Art Room (above the Kwinana Dome Cafe) 11.30am til 2pm
Please Note: There is a lift available
Future dates: Thursday 2nd, 16th & 30th April
5:00 pm: Henley Reserve Weekly Walking Group
–
April 16, 2026
Enjoy the meandering peaceful bushland and flat paths that are in Henley Reserve park and bushland with friendly locals!
Mostly shady and cool, there are two paths to choose: stay on the paved path near the basketball court and playground, ideal for people with walkers, prams, crutches and wheelchairs. Or, extend your walk with a venture into the bushland trail and enjoy the serenity of tree-lined paths. The bush trail is better suited to those who don't rely on wheels to move as in some places it is soft with sand, but mostly it is solid.
The full walk will take less than an hour to do.
Bring your hat, wear sunscreen and carry water.
The best parking is on Ringwood Loop. Meet at the basketball court for a quick meet and greet before moving on to the paved walk, followed by the bush walk for those eager to take on a little more of the walk.
Come along for a gentle stroll, enjoy the natural beauty of the reserve and meet others who love to celebrate the beautiful bushland of Kwinana or need a little inspiration to get mobile on an easy walking track.
Your group leader Kate looks forward to seeing you there!

April 16, 2026
About the Group
We’re a laid-back sewing group in Butler. Everyone brings their own projects, and we help each other out when needed. All skill levels are welcome-whether you’ve never touched a sewing machine or you’re a seasoned stitcher. Just bring your own gear and fabric.
About Your Host
Hey, I’m Demi. I got into sewing about four years ago after my first bub was born-I wanted to make her some cute little outfits. I’m not a pro, but I love trying new patterns and figuring out how things go together. If you don’t have a machine yet, no stress-you can share mine to give sewing a go. I’m happy to get beginners started with easy makes like tote bags, scrunchies, or ties-just bring your fabric (and elastic for scrunchies).
What to Expect
We meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm. Bring your machine, set up, and work on your pieces at your own pace. Feel free to ask anyone for help if you get stuck. We start packing up around 8:00 pm and finish by 8:30 pm.
Got questions? Just call or text me (Demi) on 0430 948 861 or Deb on 0448300366.
