occasionally be a little Irreverent.) Bringing a Taste of Poland to Melbourne. Stop counting calories and indulge
in the exquisite flavours that are the essence of Poland. Stalls at this year’s
festival will feature delicacies such as pierogi which many translate as
filled dumplings or ravioli but neither term really does the pierogi
justice - you just have to try it. Or you can try some bigos, Poland’s
true national dish. But don’t miss out on the Placki Ziemniaczane (Potato
Pancakes) think of them as the Polish version of hash browns, but far tastier
and even more tantalising when had with sour cream and sugar. No Polish Festival
would be complete without polish sausages (kiełbasa), made even more
splendid when washed down with a glass of Polish beer or a shot of vodka. If
sweeter treats are more to your liking, a favourite for most Poles are
traditional Polish donuts (pączki) but leave some room for Polish
cheesecakes which simply melt in your mouth. To counter the calories stroll
amongst the stalls, take a look at the superb amber jewellery or various arts
and crafts but don’t miss the colour, splendour and enthusiasm of the folk
dancing a visual display of Poland’s heritage. Trust me, you will be tempted to
join in. The festival will leave you feeling as if you have just spent the
afternoon in a square in Old Warsaw (Warszawa) or Krakow. |

Geelong Highland Gathering
|
The 52nd Geelong Highland Gathering, on Sunday, March 15, 2009, will
include Scottish Heavy Games, including caber tossing. The Victorian
Pipe Band Championships will be held a feature of the Gathering, first held on
the plains of South Geelong, then open space and now a heavily populated Geelong
suburb, in 1857. The Gathering went into recess during the Depression, but was
revived by the then Newtown City Council in 1957 and has been held continuously
ever since at picturesque Queens Park, often referred to as “the Braemar of
Australia”.
It has grown into the biggest and most diverse celebration of Scottish
culture in Victoria and one of the major Scottish events in Australia attracting
interstate and sometimes overseas bands and Scottish and other overseas judges.
The Gathering, from 9.30am to 5.30pm, attracts upwards of 6000 people annually.
Scottish historic military re-enactment groups, massed pipe bands displays,
Highland Dancing competitions, Scottish Country Dancing displays, a Celtic
Market, Scottish Folk Music, Scottish dogs and horses and Highland Cattle are
all a part of the traditional mix. There will also be clan and other cultural
and genealogical displays, wood-chopping competitions, archery, children’s
activities and a children’s farmyard. A great family occasion, entry charges apply/p>
