A vibrant new mural, conceptualised and created by participants in HBNC’s Industry Ready Training (IRT) program, now brightens the walls of The Neighbourhood Hive.

The collaborative artwork, featuring a dynamic outer space scene and the word Unity, symbolises community togetherness and the shared vision of creating something greater.

The mural’s creation was an integral part of the IRT program, which supports community members aged 18 and over in improving their employability and life skills.

Join us for this all girl (strictly female attendees, sorry fellas) opportunity to learn 4WD basics from Girl's Day Out founder Cassandra Carson.

A few words from Cassie: "My name is Cassie, I am the founder of Girls Day Out (GDO) 4WD Edition, I currently own a 2006 Nissan Patrol. I wanted to start GDO to help females that want to get outdoors. I'm sure I'm not the only women that can say she has had some horrible experiences when it comes to the 4WD industry.
​
I want to create a safe space for all females no matter what your background is. GDO isn't a 4WD group but it is a community and a safe space. We have a wide range of supporting groups that are with us to help you learn new and update old skills.
​
I hope to meet you at one of our events!"
