Peter was involved with a small group of men in a "Dad's Toolbox" program, an initiative that aimed to support a dad's relationship with their children. At the end of the first three sessions the men picked up where they left off with their billy cart cutting and assembly. The fourth session was fully devoted to painting their billy cart with their children helping. The venue was Bunnings Mill Park. Bunnings offered the use of a meeting room, tea room and a workshop area. The material costs were mostly covered by a local government grant (Whittlesea City Council). The whole experience was 'spot-on' and we have enough to do it all again with another group. What happened then was the "icing on the cake". Most of the families involved met in nearby Epping, on a 'just right' sloped dead-end street, Sunday last, to test out their billy carts. We provide a link to a video of the event, showing the fun the kids had - including a few adults.
