Back to Buninyong

The 'Back to Buninyong' event on February 23 was a memorable evening that transformed the historic Buninyong Town Hall into a lively celebration of history, music, and community connection. Organized as a free event by Smart Living Expo and Buninyong Sustainability, the gathering brought neighbors, friends, and newcomers together to celebrate the unique heritage and spirit of Buninyong.

Highlights of the evening included an inspiring talk by Costa Georgiadis, who shared stories on the importance of community and the powerful impact of backyard gardens. Costa’s words resonated with the audience, emphasizing sustainability and the value of local engagement. The Cope Street Parade brought vibrant energy with their fusion of jazz, folk, gypsy, and swing, creating a distinctly Australian sound that captivated attendees and added a festive atmosphere to the evening.

A special screening of Regenerating Australia by Damon Gameau offered a thought-provoking look at a sustainable future for the nation, asking the question, “What would Australia look like if we truly listened to its people?” Live readings of historical Buninyong letters added humor and nostalgia, bridging generations and strengthening the community bond. The night was a heartfelt celebration, deepening connections and affirming Buninyong's commitment to a sustainable future.
