It's often said that great things happen when people with great ideas get together with people with great passion.
That's what PlanBig is all about.
PlanBig is a website where people with ideas and passion can work together to turn ideas into reality.
It's a place where anyone with an idea can get advice, ask for help, look for feedback or get a reality check. And anyone with passion can help make a difference by offering what they can.
To get an idea of what Plan Big can do for you (and what you can do for others), simply visit www.planbig.com.au.
Check the hundreds of plans already underway and see for yourself how people in communities right across Australia are using the resources available to kick start ideas.

The St Andrew’s church was built with donations for construction costs, furniture and fittings and land from early residents in Wamboin, and is sustained from gifts from Christians living in Wamboin. St Andrew’s congregation is small enough to enable all members to know each other and to enjoy each other’s company. Subject to Diocesan and Parish practice, decisions for the church are made by the whole congregation at annual and quarterly meetings, rather than through a representative council. People from all Christian backgrounds are actively welcome to join in services conducted at St Andrew’s. St Andrew’s also has a strong association, and intends to deepen the relationship, with St Peter’s Sutton. Church services alternate between the two, and there are currently a number of people who attend both services and participate in joint Lenten Studies. New members and visitors are always most welcome.

St Mary’s was opened in 1862 and comprises a small but growing community located about 80 km to the east of Canberra - the national capital city of Australia. Members of St Mary’s Bungendore come from a diverse range of backgrounds. Being within an hour’s drive of Canberra and Queanbeyan many residents live in Bungendore and work in those nearby centres. There are many rural parishioners such as the Darmody and Reardon families being descendants of the original settlers. The new estate of Elmslea is adjacent to the town and is home to parishioners with young families. Mass is celebrated on Sunday mornings commencing at 8.30 am and visitors are most welcome. Mass is also celebrated at various times at other churches in the Parish – details can be found under the pages for each of the outlying churches.
Once a month, morning tea is served after mass on Sunday morning. It provides a great opportunity for parishioners to further bond the already obvious good spirit of our church community. Please come and join us.

ANZAC Day is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during the Great War.
It is an occasion of national remembrance, which takes two forms. Commemorative services are held at dawn, the time of the original landing, across the Nation. Later in the day, ex-servicemen and women meet to take part in marches through the major cities and in many smaller centres. Commemorative ceremonies are more formal and are held at war memorials that honour people, not war. In Bungendore, the March usually includes serving and ex-serving personnel, children from the Bungendore Public School, the Light Horse re-enactment unit, a contingent of Australian Federal Police including its Ceremonial Horse Unit and the Canberra Pipes and Drums.
