Australia Day Weekend

Australia Day Weekend in the mountains was a mixed bag - after a nasty headache went on a lovely bush walk to Leura Cascades with house guests. I am sure the fresh air, sunshine and cascading water helped.

 

 

Enjoyed a special treat on Sunday afternoon, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The play was presented by Sport for Jove Theatre Company at Everglades Garden. The production was a thoughtful interpretation with contemporary costumes. The children in the audience seemed to enjoy it and a little girl's interjection made both actor's and audience laugh.

This treasure from the 1930s sits in twelve and a half acres of European-style gardens and native Australian bush with breathtaking views over the Jamison Valley

 

 



 

 

We celebrated Australia Day at the Glenbrook Gnome Convention. Though the day was cold and wet the community was warm and enthusiastic. We were entertained by an excellent acapella group from the local high school.
