Ruthven Station Volunteers

West side rock garden edges finished today ❤️❤️

But we need the spring rain.

Yes - you heard that correctly!!

Mernda Steam Train Rides - Sunday 5th October 2025 Join Steamrail Victoria as we operate 2 steam locomotives with heritage E Type carriages between Mernda and Reservoir on Sunday 5th October...

Starting next steps in west side entrance of some rock garden borders.

Slowly but surely it’s all coming along.

Are you enjoying the gardens and plantings at Ruthven Station?

Want to help us out?

It all adds up - so feel free to donate some $ using pay ID [email protected]

Thanks to those many people who donated already or perhaps had a chat while buying some Lemons.

Saturday was a planting day on east side of the station.

Thank you for our wonderful volunteers and to Darebin Council for continuing support.

Hoping for rain now!

I hope Teddy gets home and owner is found!

Safely waiting at Ruthven Station - northbound.

Anyone missing a teddy?

Another huge working bee getting ready for spring!

Thank you so much again to the volunteers and to Darebin Council for the support.

Phase two well and truly underway.

Do you find the pedestrian crossing dangerous at Ruthven station?

High Street has a major problem with people running red lights and it’s not safe.

Imagine being elderly? Or living with a disability.

Only takes a few minutes to complete this request to make that crossing safer.

Suggest a road safety camera location You use Victorian roads every day and know which locations need a road safety camera to improve safety and driver behaviour. Submit your suggestion.

Huge day for the working bee… and perfect weather. Thank you so very very much to all those that came along. Thanks also to those who assisted in the build up to this.

We got more garden beds started on East side entrance ready to plant in coming weeks.

And the huge job along West wide ridge between high street and the platform. And will also in a few weeks add many more plants.

Thank you again for all the hard work. 🙂
