Of Flowers and Ferrets…the Kyneton Daffodil & Arts Festival

THEY’RE vibrant, they’re joyous, they flip the bird at winter and they pop up in their bazillions in Kyneton this time of year… Daffodils smacking you in the face with yellow at the moment and don’t you love it? In fact, Kyneton loves the beautiful bulb so much they hold an annual Daffodil and Arts Festival, now in its 39th year. This year’s festival, (Thursday, September 1 to Sunday, September, 11), showcases the daffodil and the local arts scene with an incredible variety of events over the eleven day festival. Obviously the daffodil is well featured throughout town with flower shows and beautiful open gardens, but don’t worry if flowers don’t float your boat, there is truly something for everyone at this festival - with markets and crafts, an antique fair, competition busking, the Alpaca Fiesta, One Act Plays, a fun run, the Old Time Daffodil Ball and a Variety Spectacular featuring many local and renowned artists and performers.But of course, nothing says ‘Daffodil Festival’ like ferret racing, so strap yourself in… There’s ferret racing too. On the last day of the festival there’s a Grand Parade with bands, dancers, floats, cars and vintage vehicles. The Festival concludes with a fair, performances and rides in Kynetons’ main streets. For more information go to www.kynetondaffodilarts.org.au or call: 5422 2282.

Being Lost & Getting Lostwe know all about it

CELEBRATE women and mother earth this month with a visit to (the cleverly named): Can’t Think Straight shop and gallery (41 Vincent Street, Daylesford), for Rynelle Walker’s exhibition: Life is Art. Contemporary Aboriginal Artist Rynelle Walkers’ paintings adorn the walls and are quite the sensory experience. Rynelle’s art tells the story of life: the struggles, strengths and beauty of women, through use of intricate and colourful dot patterns. Rynelle is from the Kullili people of South West Queensland and started painting whilst travelling the Northen Territory, and although she only began painting 11 years ago, her work is found in public and private collections throughout Australia, and she even had one of her pieces featured on promotional material for NAIDOC. We were (for some reason) drawn to two of the pieces in particular: ‘Being Lost’ and ‘Getting Lost’.For a full run down of the regions’ galleries, turn to Gallery Guide on page 57.

WE AT lost are mad about playgrounds. Especially The Woodend Children’s Park, (13 Nicholson Street). This park is a school holiday destination in its own right. There’s a playground for littleuns, complete with ride-on ladybug, and an enormous space for bigger dudes - did someone say flying fox? You’d better believe it!The Children’s Park ticks all the boxes for families. It’s an exciting well planned space to climb/slide/spin/swing and run amok, (read: wear them out) with free BBQ areas, picnic tables, shade and great coffee nearby, (read: heaven). And if you’re also (like us), mad about a good bakery, Bourkie’s Bakehouse (115 High Street) is across the road, for pies, award winning vanilla slices and decent bribery fare to lure the kids off the swings and into the car at hometime.

Woodend Children’s Parkare we there yet?

Love’s Harvestgreen thumbs a go-goIF YOU happen to be tootling past Rea Lands Park (42 Raglan St, Daylesford) this month, make sure you pop your head in the gate and have a little peek. The ever-active Daylesford Community Food Gardeners, who brought Daylesford the vegetable and herb garden next to the Daylesford Library (33 Albert St), have been at it again. Over 40 people gathered last month to plant a multitude of fruit and nut trees with the aim of providing free food to the Daylesford community. It goes to show that when people work together with open hearts, inspired minds (and green thumbs) great things happen. Working Bees are held on the second Saturday of each month between 10am and 12pm. Head over and help out so you can share in the harvest. For more information visit: www.justfreefood.blogspot.com.

trenthamgolf, bread, falls & friendly folk

Is it a golf town? Is it a farm town? Is it a forest village? Is it boutiquey and gorgeous? Can you get good fair trade organic coffee? And an enormous oversized statue of a giraffe? Yes. Yes to it all. It’s Trentham… and yes, you really should pay a visit.

whyAs above, tiny Trentham is many things to many people… but since Trentham is our little secret, you’ll still be able to get a park in the main street on a Saturday.

whatBuy still-warm organic sourdough currant buns, peruse galleries and antiques over your latte, see live music, eat truffles in a decadent stable and celebrate the humble potato.

howTrentham is a picturesque 15-20 minute drive from Daylesford through Wombat State Forest and farmland, 15-20 minutes from Woodend and 15 minutes from Kyneton.

ONE of the best things about winter is that you only need mow the lawn twice and it still looks halfway respectable. However, with that first whiff of Spring the lawn goes loco, the weeds launch themselves to the stratosphere and suddenly you need a scythe to cut your way to the car each morning. But not if you have a four legged eating machine! This time of year, a goat is your BFF, and the Central Highlands Goat Club meets monthly to discuss all things goat! You don’t even need a goat to join in, come along and ask questions, share amazing goat products and find out how a goat is so much more than just a free mowing service.The Goat Club meets Sunday, September 4, at Daylesford Neighbourhood Centre, 13 Camp Street.

WHAT do you do when you have an award winning day spa and lots of happy customers? Extend the experience and add a beauty salon, of course!

They are the only day spa in the region complete with in-house beauty treatments. So as the weather warms up (and the invitations to party season pile up) - be sure to book the bod in to be scrubbed, waxed, tanned, tinted, polished, made up and shellaced.

Get down to Earthat ClayspaceMOST Year 8 ceramic classes consist of bad pinch pots, slightly squashed coil pots, kiln explosions and the occasional all-in clay fight. (Or perhaps that is just our recollections of ceramics class?) Fortunately, some inspired individuals continue to develop their love for the malleable lump of earth and now produce beautiful works of art from clay. Even more fortunate are visitors to the region, because now you can purchase these precious works produced by the Daylesford Region Ceramics Co-operative at Clayspace (Leggatt Street, Lake Daylesford). Clayspace is a tiny gallery-shop, exhibiting and selling work produced by the Co-op. The work is handmade, heartfelt and the only clay fight you’ll get here is if someone else is eyeing off a piece you want.Open 10am-4pm Friday to Monday. Info: 5348 7487.

Something old, something new,something quirky, something blueLIME green is not a colour you’d usually associate with a front door. Brown, yes, red, occasionally, but green… uhh, no. So when a lime green door opened itself six months ago, we were intrigued, something Quirky was afoot! Quirky Hollows (3 Howe Street, Daylesford) is the brainchild of Rustin Simpson, and what an eclectic child it is. Rustin restores and refunks reclaimed furniture and industria and gives each piece new life. Mingling with the furniture you’ll find outrageous retro and new homewares, lights made out of buckets, cast iron sparrows and clocks that would make Big Ben feel like a Swatch. Step inside the green door and fall in love with something Quirky. Open Thursday to Monday, more info call: 5348 4198.

Simone Felice(lucky to be) in Hepburn SpringsSIMONE Felice doesn’t have your typical backstory. At 12 he survived a brain aneurysm, re-learnt all his basic motor skills, sharpened his mind writing poetry and performed in punk bands from age 15. Then with his brothers he whipped up two critically acclaimed albums, (as The Felice Brothers). Then there’s the whole, becoming an acclaimed author bit, the musical genius bit, and the little bit of (recent) open heart surgery, the bit about being commissioned to write a story for Bob Dylan’s 70th birthday, AND the bit about him popping over to Hepburn Springs to share his stories, words and songs with us. Intrigued? Awed? Fascinated? Just wait til you see him.Simone Felice plays The Palais, (111 Main Rd Hepburn Springs) Thursday, September, 15. More info: 5348 4849. Tix at: www.thepalais.com.au. ns

HillbillybluesTHE Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, are a seriously long way from Wombat Hill. Archer Shepherd was born in the Appalachians and grew up inspired by the scratchy tones of country bluesmen Tex Morton, Lead Belly & Smilin’ Blinkhorn (yee har)! So when his family relocated to Australia, the blues followed him here. Archer found inspiration in the rich and moving songs of the Tiwi and Tongan islanders, and the musical results are a combination of hearty Hillbilly Blues, coloured by Archer’s gutsy voice that simply needs to be heard to be believed. Archer presents a mesmerising performance, as a talented singer, guitarist, and storyteller.Archer performs with the Long Gone Daddies on Saturday, September 24, at Horvat’s Wine Bar (Shop 6 Howe St, Daylesford) from 8.30pm. Entry is free.

A Little Bit Seedy on a Saturday morningGARDENING is supposed to be simple isn’t it? (Step 1: Put seeds in ground, Step 2: Seeds grow into amazing organic produce and you say bye bye to vegie shopping forever.)

This month the Diggers demo how to plant seed, and how to get the little buggers to grow! They’ll tell you when and how to sow what, and lots of other handy tips and tricks.

Shopasaurusat The Rex

THERE are those who come to Daylesford for spa therapy, those who travel for spiritual therapy, those who make time for a bit of therapy for their relationship, and then there are those who make a bee-line to Daylesford for a spot of retail therapy. Daylesford is a teeny shopping mecca in Central Victoria, and home to clever boutique owners with such impeccable taste you wish you could buy one of everything. Scouring Daylesfords’ beautiful shops for something unique and completely gorgeous is a favourite pastime of many a local and visitor alike, and has been for decades. The perfectly restored Rex Arcade (51 Vincent Street, Daylesford) has seen a few tenants in its 82 years on the main street. Originally built as The Rex Theatre, most recently the rejuvenated Rex is home to several small retail shops, including fashion, antiques, exotic homewares, (including vibrant glass lanterns, eastern fabrics and décor), and the deliciously decadent Chocorex Café. So whilst trawling Vincent Street for that certain something (you’ll know what it is when you find it) take a detour at The Rex - Savour a delectable hot choc, and continue to obey your inner retail therapist. And that means… head upstairs to visit The Rex’s latest tenant. The Mill Market. The Mill Market has enormous premises at 105 Central Springs Road Daylesford… and a sample to whet your retro/collectable appetite has now opened upstairs at The Rex. Peruse the polyester and bakelite bargains, or unearth a treasure from Granny’s glory box. Naturally, at this point, a good retail therapist would then prescribe a decent foot rub… so best you head back downstairs for a traditional Chinese massage, (also now open at The Rex).The Rex Arcade is open weekends and most weekdays. Individual store hours vary, wander inside to see what treasure you’ll be taking home today.More info: www.therexarcade.com.au.
