The Tradies Voice

Welcome to The Tradies Voice – where local stories come to life.

This is our space to share what’s happening across the Canberra region – the small wins, the big moments, and everything in between. Maybe it’s a school opening its gates after hours, a local team bringing people together, or a neighbour lending a hand – these are the things that remind us what community’s all about.

At the heart of it all are the values we share: connection, generosity, and that feeling of truly belonging.

We’re here to shine a light on the people, places, and projects that make our community stronger – and to give a voice to the stories that matter most.

Rolling Together: The Lyneham Bike Bus Brings Kids, Families, and Community Along for the Ride

Every Wednesday at 8:15am, something beautiful rolls through North Lyneham.
It’s called the Lyneham Bike Bus — a joyful, music-filled ride to school that’s bringing families, neighbours, and even local businesses together. What started as a simple idea over coffee has grown into a heartwarming community tradition, with kids gaining confidence, parents connecting, and bikes becoming a powerful symbol of togetherness. This isn’t just about the school run — it’s about reclaiming streets, building memories, and riding into the day with a smile.

Moving Through Life With Marvellous Miles: A Storytelling Afternoon with Sarah Watts

Storytelling, strength, and a splash of purple.
On Saturday 29 March, The Dickson Tradies was filled with heart as local author Sarah Watts shared Marvellous Miles, her touching children’s book inspired by her son’s epilepsy journey. The event, part of the Make March Purple campaign, was more than just a reading—it was a moment of connection, courage, and community. With kids gathered close and carers leaning in, Sarah’s story reminded us all that the road may be challenging, but no one walks it alone.
