Willsmere has again been invited to participate in Open House Melbourne on Sat+Sun, July 27+28. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to raise the profile of Willsmere, build community spirit, and fulfill our heritage obligations. Volunteers are needed to host the tours. This involves a minimum commitment of 2 consecutive tours with a 20 minute break. Visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7HSVV89 to check the details and volunteer. The rewards of being a volunteer are many: Meet fascinating visitors, many of whom have personal connections to Willsmere; Meet fellow neighbours; Learn about the rich history and architecture of Willsmere; Earn priority access to some OHM buildings; Have fun! This year we will also have a coffee/snack van at the front for anyone to use. Our participation involves Willsmere volunteers escorting tour groups of 17 following a printed guide and speakers notes. Tours are pre-booked by OHM and commence every half hour between 10am and 3:30pm each day from the main entrance, with each tour taking 30-40 minutes. It is a lot of fun, so join in, learn and enjoy!
Willsmere is located at 1 Wiltshire Drive Kew VIC 3101. Visitor access is via Yarra Boulevard.
