Hello May!
If you’re a Star Wars fan – May the 4th be with you! And if you’re Mexican – Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Don’t forget that this year Mother’s Day is on Sunday 10 May. Get organised by booking a high tea in Melbourne, treating yourself (or someone else) to a luxurious experience for a day spa in Melbourne or taking a day trip to visit the best day spas in Victoria.
Other dates to note:
- Throughout May – support Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea to raise money for cancer research.
- Friday 22 May is Walk Safely to School Day.
- Wednesday 27 May is National Simultaneous Storytime. This year the book is Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, illustrated by Jake Minton and published by Little Book Press. Look out for events happening at your local library, school and council locations.
