More than a little bit of Christmas magic has come to the western end of Gwinganna Ave, with three women yarn bombing the 68 road posts of the split level street.

The crafters, who want to keep a low profile, were inspired by a street in Melbourne that was decorated during a COVID lockdown Christmas.

All of the decorations are either knitted or crocheted, with each post having an individual personality – some a jaunty hat and scarf, others full length costumes.

They decided to do it last Christmas, and worked all year on the secret project.

Their intent was to create a “feel good thing for the community”, and there is no doubt they have succeeded.

They spent almost six hours installing them yesterday, and have been overwhelmed by the “lovely reaction”.

The decorations will be up for six weeks, with the creators confident their work will withstand whatever the weather throws at them.

From the community to the makers, thank you!
