Goldfields Gothic this weekend
This weekend, as part of the Goldfields Gothic Festival of Dark Ideas, the streets will be alive with the sights and sounds of the Goth community ... It’s time to dress up (don’t forget your thermals!), go Goth and enjoy yourselves! There are plenty of events on offer ... At the Victorian Fan Language Workshop, you can learn over 20 delicate and precise gestures fit for high society!
Community Generation
Maldon residents Lauren Adele Stevens and her Dad, Ian Stevens, have once again headed off to Cambodia to continue working at Lauren’s Phnom Penh office with her local Cambodian team ... Alongside our WASH projects, Community Generation will commence a new project delivery of up-skilling and training local Khmer peoples with life-changing plumbing and maintenance skills delivered by fully qualified Australian plumbers,” Lauren said.
Castlemaine Documentary Festival
Clare Jager. This year’s Realise The Possible celebrates the connection between filmmakers, films and audiences and the lure of documentary storytelling with a diverse line-up of eight outstanding documentaries, stimulating panel discussions and parties.
Winning treble
Baringhup’s McKnight Racing had an amazing day at Donald Racing Club last week. They had their first-ever ‘Winning Treble’. This is quite a feat for a stable that has only around 12 to 15 horses in work at a time!
Maldon Pétanque Club
Geoff McLennan. Winter is definitely with us; all month it has been extremely cold, and last Sunday was no exception. Luckily the fire was lit early and was well utilised all afternoon to keep both players and boules warm.
Arts About – Gothic to sublime
Gothic and romantic aesthetics and ideas have been a longstanding influence on how I think and work. I often think of my sculptures as giving form to spirits, whether ghosts from ‘the other side’ or denizens of a parallel world or, less literally, from the world of the psychological unconscious that ‘haunts’ reality: Kirsten Bishop.
Residents near Cairn Curran breathe a sigh of relief
Residents living around Victorian waterways are breathing a sigh of relief. June 13 was the final day of the state’s three month ‘recreational’ native waterbird shoot ... Shooting was reported to have started half an hour before the legal start time on day one, upsetting children, animals and visitors for three months since. "It finished with shooting on the final day in one of the thickest fogs we’ve ever seen."
