Dilly Wanderer

The Dilly Wanderer

The Dilly Wanderer is a free mobile community service that travels across Wollondilly bringing play-based activities, information and local service connections to local communities including Appin, Bargo, Buxton, Picton, Tahmoor, Thirlmere, Warragamba and more.

Funded by the Department of Communities and Justice, this program supports children aged 0–5 and provides a safe, welcoming place for families to meet and connect. It supports young families, single parents, and Aboriginal families to access culturally safe support, referrals, and resources.
