Hay Shed Hill presents a collection of work by emerging West Australian artist Karli Dore.  
Pulsating with vibrant unity, colour has become the nexus in my current collection of contemporary water colour paintings. Much like the Fauves, I have deliberately utilised pure, complimentary colours to unify my works. My works are an exploration of colour and movement. Karli Dore.

If you are passionate about food, you will love what we are offering at Wildwood Valley with our 'Mad About Food' Cooking Classes.

After many years working 'front of house' in restaurants and hotels, and completing a degree in Hotel Management, Sioban Baldini fulfilled her dream and trained under one of Australia's most recognised chefs, Neil Perry. Sioban went on to learn the art of superb Thai food under Martin Boetz of Longrain in Sydney. Longrain has won consecutive awards as best Thai Restaurant since opening in 1999.This experience, followed by two years in Tuscany, has refined Sioban's interest and knowledge in Italian and Thai food.
Sioban has designed her cooking schools so that the participants can be hands on! Groups can vary in numbers from 8 to10 people. You can choose to book an exclusive cooking school weekend with a group of friends or make a booking to join a scheduled cooking school weekend throughout the year.

On the wave of a successful 25-show tour from Broome to Margaret River last Spring, artist and musician Eli Wolfe is back on the road visiting remote and rural communities across Australia.

The new album is based on Eli‟s well-timbered vocal melodies and hypnotic acoustic sound. Traditional drums, bass and electric guitars were deliberately not used in his latest album, instead Eli had fun discovering percussive sounds and textures from the likes of a washing machine, a marching drum and from playing cement rendered walls, with a foot-stomp also called upon to help with rhythm duties.

Adding to Eli‟s detailed sound is double bass, cello, piano and an old organ which doubled as a bass by using its clunky foot pedals. With a brand new single, an upcoming album and a stack of shows, the Maton-endorsed guitarist has quite a journey ahead of him.

You can catch Eli Wolfe at a live show where you can pick up a special pre-release version of the single and album and enjoy some inspired music!

The guys in the rhythm section are Ian Stone on bass and Rowan Parekh on drums, both offering energy and dynamism in abundance. Ken Williford adds lots of class on lead guitar. On slide, harp and melodica Blew Drew does his thing. Vocals and rhythm guitar are performed by Dilip Parekh, an accomplished songwriter with a growing reputation around Fremantle.

They are delighted that their third CD titled - WHADDYA RECKON - is set for launch on Friday 19th March at MOJOs and then a SW re-launch at Settlers Tavern in Margaret River.  Bit of variety on this album; ska, reggae, ballad, funk and lots of rock too; thats the way they like it.  Music is a smorgasbord ... why only stuff yourself with bread rolls ?  Gorge on everything !

Will you hear Arts Lovin’ Cow moo at the zoo? Spare Parts Puppet Theatre’s production Night Zoo Monday 29 March 6.00pm, Tuesday 10.00am and 1.00pm

The last 3 years have been a whirlwind for brother and sister duo, Angus & Julia Stone.  Their debut album ‘A Book Like This’ released in 2007 glided easily into the hearts of Australians where it debuted top 10 on the national ARIA album chart and maintained a spot in the top 100 for over a year. In 2008 it earned the brother and sister duo 6 ARIA award nominations and was certified platinum, selling in excess of 80,000 copies.

Travelling has been an integral part of the Stone’s musical story so it’s not surprising they opted to record their new album “Down The Way” in a number of diverse locations around the globe; an old sawmill on the river banks of Fowey in Cornwall, a studio in Brooklyn, a water tank in Coolangatta, their second home - London - and Queens in New York.

“Down The Way” marks their debut as producers, taking full control of their sound without losing the spirit of what made the first record so special.  There has been a subtle shift of gear, represented by a growing confidence in their abilities as artists and the music follows suit as it flows easily through sparse and rich textured arrangements without losing any of its etherealness and charm.

“Down The Way” is thirteen lovingly crafted songs reflecting a myriad of emotions and another graceful step on a remarkable musical journey for Angus & Julia Stone.

This weeks movie is "The General" - rated (G) General

Johnnie Gray, engineer of the Western Atlantic Railroad’s locomotive ‘The General’ has two loves – his engine and his girl Annabelle Lee. When the Civil War breaks out in 1861, he is refused acceptance by the army because he is more useful as an engineer than as a soldier. Annabelle, not understanding the reason, shuns him as a coward. A year later, ‘The General’, with Annabelle on board, is hijacked by a group of Northern spies. Johnnie goes in pursuit behind enemy lines, and rescues both the train and the girl. He returns to Union territory in time to warn of an impending Confederate attack. The enemy are ambushed and defeated, and Johnnie is rewarded with an army  commission and by reconciliation with both his loves. 

The soundtrack will be performed by “Viola Dana” which was the name of a starlet of the silent silver screen and is also the name of an ensemble of musicians based in Perth, Western Australia, who create and perform soundtracks for film. 

Gates open at 5.30pm with great wine, beer, soft drinks gourmet pizzas, cheese platters, coffee and cakes available on site.

The Bibbulmun & Beyond Tour ventures beyond the Bibbulmun Track exploring Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Range National Park near Albany. Led by experienced guides from the Bibbulmun Track Foundation, this tour takes in some spectacular scenery along the Track.

The iconic Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia is one of the world’s great long-distance walk trails, stretching almost 1000kms from Kalamunda in the Perth Hills to Albany on the south coast. The Track passes through some of the most diverse and beautiful coastal, forest and wilderness areas of Australia’s south west, and these Tours allow participants to experience glimpses of the very best sections. In 2004 and 2006 the Bibbulmun Track won the WA Tourism Award for Significant Tourist Attraction and was a finalist in 2007 and 2008.

The itinerary has been carefully compiled to combine a variety of day-walks with off-track accommodation. The specially selected full and half-day walks cover varied landscapes of the Track from the rolling hills and jarrah forests in the northern section, through the magnificent karri and tingle forest to the spectacular ocean views and coastal heathlands in the far south. Lead Guide, Steve Sertis, who has walked the length of the Track three times and knows it ‘like the back of his hand’ said “These tours are a great way to showcase the best of the Track and offer a unique experience to participants."

A private bus provides transport to and from the Track each day and participants will experience a number of unique eco-tourism attractions in the region.  Each evening the group returns to comfortable accommodation in the rural towns and villages along the Track. The group is limited to 16 and the cost is $2,400 twin share (single supplements available).  Participants need carry only a small daypack, and the flexible itinerary caters for all levels of experience. 

The Bibbulmun Track Foundation is a not-for-profit, community-based organisation established to provide support for the management, maintenance and marketing of the Bibbulmun Track.  They have been conducting guided walks on the Bibbulmun Track for a number of years.   All proceeds from this trip support the ongoing sustainability of the Bibbulmun Track.
