Special Feature

Lets Turn Eltham Pink Campaign It was a fantastic effort from both the traders and the local community and this year we ask everyone to come together again and make this another successful outcome.

Last year for the month of May we turned Eltham Town pink to raise money for Breast Cancer. As a result we were able to hand over $12,000 to the Breast Cancer Network Australia.

It was a fantastic effort from both the traders and the local community and this year we ask everyone to come together again and make this another successful outcome.

All traders will have collection tins on their counters.

IF YOUR CHILD CAN WALK, YOUR CHILD CAN RIDE! No more tricycle tip-overs or training wheel wobbles With the Strider Balance Bike, there are no tricycle tip-overs or training-wheel wobbles to create a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding. The Strider balance bike helps toddlers learn balance and coordination BEFORE pedaling, which develops glittering confidence. So ditch the tricycle and training wheels, and teach your child to ride a bike sooner and safer with a Strider.

For ages 18 months to 5 years.
