WITH Christmas Day fast approaching, Santa has been making some unexpected stops across the Goulburn Valley, including a special visit to the Goulburn Valley Woodworkers’ workshop, where members say they caught him hard at work at the bandsaw preparing toys for the big day.
Santa, dressed in full festive attire despite the warm weather, was seen carefully shaping pieces of timber, explaining to volunteers that handmade gifts were still his favourite to deliver. Members of the Woodworkers group said they were delighted to have an early visit from the man in red and were more than happy to lend him access to their tools and workshop space.
The Woodworkers, who are known for their craftsmanship, community projects and charity work, said Santa’s visit was a fun reminder of the joy the festive season brings, and the magic of making things by hand.
Now that Christmas is only two weeks away, locals are being encouraged to keep an eye out, you never know where Santa might pop up next as he prepares for his busiest night of the year.
