Bush Lemons do Mardi Gras Parade!

 40 Bush Lemons will be strutting their stuff at the Mardi Gras Parade to celebrate our 27 years.  Expect a sea of yellow, some great moves to our signature tune, our proud banner, sign carriers, and a large lemon (which we have all become very fond of) making a surprise appearance!  Many thanks to everyone who has made our entry possible, including those who have attending our working bees, dance leaders and choreographers Steph, Rachael and Kate, Olga for her design and making of the bracket that fixes the lemon, Ange for her design of the lemon, Bee and Bec for their ute, Sharron for making the gaiters, those Lemons who have practised and practised our routine, and those lemons who always put their hands up to help in many ways.  It will be great!

Join Bush Lemons for Blue Mtns Trek for Timor

Hi Lemons,

Bush Lemons will be putting a team into Blue Mountains Trek for Timor in October.  This terrific event raises funds for women’s projects and scholarships for young women for our nearby neighbour, Timor-Leste.

You are invited to join us on Saturday, 22 October in attempting to walk 60-70km in one day.  A few of us will start walking early and try to complete this mammoth task!

You can find out more information via the website and you are also encouraged to donate to the Bush Lemons team: https://trek-for-timor-blue-mountains.raisely.com/. 

Thanks Lemons, Jocelyn

Fundraising garage sale for flood victims - Easter Sunday

Bush Lemons held a garage sale on Easter Sunday for the victims of the recent floods and raised $5,000.00.  Thanks to all those Lemons who helped in so many ways. What a great achievement and we will be sending the money up to the Northern Rivers this week.  Thank you Lemons!!

Floods and landslides

 It has been a terrible time for so many in the hawkesbury and northern rivers.  Although the mountains escaped any floods, the torrential rain has caused numerous landslides which has affected our roads, railway and tracks and has closed certain parts of the National Park. This may affect some of our scheduled walks.

fundraising garage sale success

Thanks to everyone who contributed to raising $2,414 in garage sale monies and raffle money.  This money will be split between the 4 Bush Lemons teams participating in Coastrek Sydney - Bush Lemonades, Bush Lemons Too Bush Lemons Walk Don't Run and Bush Lemons in Motion! And all these monies go to the Coastrek fundraising recipient - Beyond Blue!  Huge thanks to all our volunteers!!

Fair Day 2020

Bush Lemons had a great time at Mardi Gras Fair Day 2020.  We sold lots of caps and buffs and raffle tickets (for Beyond Blue via our Coastrek teams).  It was lovely to see so many Bush Lemons at the stall and catch up with past and present (and future!) Lemons. 

If you would like to buy raffle tickets, please contact Jocelyn at bushscout@bigpond.com or at one of our upcoming walks.  The raffle will be drawn at our garage sale on 14 March 2020.
