Evolve's Annual Bush Fair
|
 Victorian
non-profit youth organisation Evolve at Typo Station (Evolve) is pleased to
celebrate its 14th annual Bush Fair. Bush Fair will again be held at Typo
Station, a former grazing station in the heart of ‘Kelly country’, one hour
South-East of Wangaratta in North-East Victoria. Bush Fair 2008 promises to be a
community fun-filled day, offering family and friends a taste of what Typo
Station has to offer. To celebrate our pioneer bushman heritage, come and enjoy
Victorian amateur sheaf tossing championships, cross cut saw competitions, bush
poetry, local produce and craft stalls, children’s activities and games, live
music and entertainment and much much much more. As a much loved event for the
North-East community, Bush Fair 2008 expects to attract close to 1,000 people
from across Victoria. Gates open at 11am (no pets or BYO) and close at 11pm.
Entry is $5 per head, with a free sausage and bread upon arrival. With camping
facilities available onsite, Bush Fair is a perfect excuse for a weekend away.
With a significant amount of local community support, Evolve hopes to raise
$10,000 this year to assist as many young people as possible to participate in
our programs in 2009.
Would you like to run a stall at our Bush Fair? We are seeking expressions of
interest from stall holders to join our festivities and showcase their produce,
food vendors, crafts or activities at our annual Bush Fair. To secure you stall,
please contact Sasha Molodtsov on sasha@evolve.org.au or 03 9416 2322. Stalls
are priced at $25 per site. |

White Hat - THE place to find markets in Victoria
Over the years White Hat has become recognised as THE
place to list and find markets in Melbourne & Victoria and our
markets pages consistently receive over 1,000 visitors a day with over
3,000 a day at weekends. Unlike many
websites which merely LIST markets, White Hat VISITS markets as
witnessed by the photographs. Although we visit hundreds of markets
every year we can never cover all of them so please let us know if any
of our information is out of date. With details on over 400 markets,
users regularly tell us that the
White Hat listing is the best and most
comprehensive source of markets in
Victoria available either on the web
or in print.

TOURISM NEWS
Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the
prestigious Qantas In Flight Magazine has chosen the White Hat Tour
of Melbourne Cemetery as its featured Australian tour for the May
2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
details of the tour at White
Hat Tour of Melbourne Cemetery and view the article at
Qantas In Flight Magazine. |
