What's On in Creswick

Learn how to prepare for flash and riverine flooding, including warnings, safety tips, and what to do, followed by free morning tea. Join Victoria State Emergency Service (SES) for a practical, easy-to-understand session focused on staying safe during flood events. You’ll learn the difference between flash flooding and riverine flooding, how to recognise risks, understand warnings, and take simple steps to protect yourself, your family, and your property. This session is designed for everyone, no prior knowledge needed. SES volunteers will share real-world insights, answer your questions, and help you feel more confident about what to do before, during, and after a flood.

Learn how to spot scams, protect your personal information, and stay safe online with practical tips from Crime Stoppers Victoria. Join Crime Stoppers Victoria for an important and informative session on recognising and responding to elder abuse. This workshop helps community members understand what elder abuse is, the different forms it can take, and the warning signs to look out for. Elder abuse can include financial, emotional, physical, or social harm, and is often carried out by someone the person knows or trusts. Many cases go unreported due to fear, shame, or lack of awareness, making community understanding and early action critical. You’ll learn how to have safe conversations, where to seek help, and how to report concerns anonymously through Crime Stoppers. The session also highlights the shared role we all play in protecting older people and supporting their independence and dignity.

Have you ever wanted to learn partner dancing? Swing dance and Lindy hop is such a fabulous style of dance. Love the music, love the fashion and love the community.

This class will incorporate beginners level moves and is suitable for beginners but will also cater to those who have experience. We dance with partners to learn lead and follow. There are no set routines and we learn new content every block. Solo Jazz - and routine based swing 7.30 pm till 8.30 pm. In this class we will learn different variations of common swing moves to add into our partner dancing or to be able to dance call and response. Routines like the Shim Sham and other group dances where we all dance the same steps will also be learned in this class. Which class do I choose? Thursdays from 7 May to the 11 June. $250 per person (for both classes). $145 for Partner dancing (6 weeks). Solo Jazz doesn't run the last week so we can all hang out after class. We ask that you register for the entire block. Attending casually doesn't work in this instance. Sarah Johnston is our teacher and she is fabulous.
