To give the 2024 mid-year plantings in Borthwick Park a better chance of surviving the summer heat, could you consider joining our summer watering roster?

You will only need to water for a couple of hours once or twice over summer (December-March) at a time that suits you.

If you haven’t watered before we can show you how to use our equipment and where to find water connection points in the park.

If you’d like to help, please email our Secretary at contact@kra.org.au, advising any dates you will be unavailable. 

Once the roster’s firmed up we’ll be in touch advising your assigned watering time and checking if you have any queries or concerns.

There’s a working bee in Borthwick Park on the 2nd Sunday of every month between 9-11am, followed by morning tea.

Join our annual tradition of community carolling through Kensington this December.

Meet at Regent Park opposite the Kensi Hotel for a 7pm start on Tuesday 19th December.

Led by bagpipers, we make our way down Thornton St pausing to sing at the Lithuanian community units, then turn right into High St to sing with the Sisters of St Joseph at the Bethany Centre in the Mary MacKillop Precinct. We then head southeast along High St, down Richmond St and though Borthwick Park to the Thornton St entrance of the Norwood Aged Cottage Homes. We walk through the NACH property to Bridge Street and walk up to finish with a carol inside the Rising Sun Inn at approximately 8.30pm. We stop frequently along this route to sing a couple of carols and spread Christmas cheer through our suburb.

Check the proposed route below. Side-tracks and minor route variations are possible, so if you would like the Kensington carollers to sing outside your home please get in touch with our Secretary (contact@kra.org.au) and we’ll do our best to make it happen!

Song sheets are provided by KRA. Dress with some Christmassy flair (tinsel, Santa hats, Christmas tshirts, reindeer antlers) and wear comfortable walking shoes.
