FOR SALE

Do you, a friend or a family member need a new bike?

This flat bar aluminium road bike was designed to get places quickly, with a light frame and skinny tyres.

Size: Medium
Gears: 2x9
Condition: Very good, with the scratches and scuffs you’d expect from a used bike
Price: $300

When you buy from Broady Bikes, you’re supporting more than a bike. Every bike sold means more bikes repaired, young people employed, and bikes donated to kids in our community.

Broady Bikes is a social enterprise that is part of the circular economy at Banksia Gardens Community Services.

A day out for the whole family in Broadmeadows!

On Saturday, kids got their faces painted, ran around the giant inflatable obstacle course and joined in the activities, while the grown-ups enjoyed live music, African drumming and lots of yummy food. Swipe to see the fun.

Thank you to everyone who came along, and to our performers, food vendors, volunteers and partners for making it such a special day. Thank you also to Project Broadmeadows and Artists for Kids Culture, who brought the festival to life with us.

Local Gamillaroi artist Emma Russell was commissioned to create our Acknowledgement of Country artwork, a piece that now lives at our Broadmeadows site and across our everyday communications.

In this reel, Emma talks about the stories, symbols and meanings woven through her painting, honouring the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land 🖤💛❤️
