coffee flavour will dissipate and ruin the balance of the blend. Quite often the components of the coffee machine in addition to the coffee cup are cold when pouring the coffee, this will create an insipid flavour as the heat from the water is absorbed by the metals and ceramic before it can deliver your espresso. A well made espresso coffee (the base of cafe coffee drinks) should reflect the nuances of the blend. Hunter Blend, one of the blends served at Real Coffee and roasted by River Roast, Maitland displays a fullness of flavour that is balanced, sweet and bold.
Many people think of coffee as bitter. It is true that caffeine as a pure product is bitter, however caffeine only makes up less than 2% of the coffee bean. Generally the bitterness in coffee is due to it being poorly prepared. For instance if you run too much water through the coffee grounds the

One of the Hunter Blend's main components is Indian coffee which has, as you may expect, a spicy nature. The spice is balanced by Central and South American coffees which are more renowned for their sweetness and fruity flavours. Due to the balance created by the blend of coffees Hunter Blend is suitable for all styles of coffee making - it’s a great all rounder with an exceptional crema and longevity in the bag (it ages gracefully).

‘PROOF’ by David Auburn Directed by John Wood 23 Jan - 6 Feb On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father Robert, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness or genius - will she inherit? 90 DeVitre Street, Lambton Bookings: (02) 4952 4958 3-6pm Monday – Friday or online at www.newcastletheatrecompany.com.au

A rich wine growing area During the 1860’s, land settlement was extensive between Nulkaba and Pokolbin with wheat, tobacco and grape growing, the main crops. Coal mining was the principal industrial base of the Cessnock area for over fifty years. The Hunter Valley wine-growing area in Cessnock City is one of Australia’s oldest wine regions and one of the most famous with around 4,500 acres under vine. The vineyards of Pokolbin, Mount View and Allandale, with their rich volcanic soils tended by entrepreneurial vignerons, are also the focus of a thriving and growing tourism industry. The town has a number of fine restaurants, guesthouses and galleries. The Convict Trail is a conservation project that is restoring the convict-built Great North Road. This is one of Australia's national historic treasures. 18

Faith, fashion, fusion: Muslim women’s style in Australia, a travelling exhibition developed by the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, Sydney. From swimwear and denim to elegant red carpet dresses, Faith, fashion, fusion: Muslim women’s style in Australia showcases the emerging modest fashion market and the work of a new generation of Muslim designers and entrepreneurs making a mark on the local fashion industry with their stylish clothing ranges for Muslim women. Glynis Jones, curator of Faith, fashion, fusion at the Powerhouse Museum, said: “The words ‘faith’ and ‘fashion’ do not often appear in the same context. This exhibition illustrates they are not incompatible; ‘modest fashion’ is one of the global fashion industry’s largest growth areas.” “It’s also interesting to see the market for these designers is not limited to Muslim women but has broader appeal for woman looking for looser fitting fashionable clothing that offers more coverage.” The exhibition was developed in consultation with a wide range of individuals from Australian Muslim communities and organisations who provided advice and assistance and generously gave their time to share stories, lend objects and take part in the filming and fashion shoots that make the exhibition so visually and emotionally rich. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body. This summer, MRAG brings together 20 artists across 6 exhibitions, hosting more than 40 events. Free Art January is the signature month-long event that will see a pop-up fun park, entertainment and a hint of the unexpected. Great atmospheres, café, amenities, stunning gallery shop are just part of the experience.

The Allyn & Paterson River Valley Tocal, Paterson, Vacy, East Gresford & Gresford Just two and a half hours’ drive from Sydney, an hour from Newcastle, you will discover the towns of Paterson, Vacy, Gresford and East Gresford, ringed by the ancient Moonabung Ranges and criss-crossed by the pristine waters of the two rivers that flow from the Barrington Tops. First stop could be historic Tocal Homestead for tales of the olden days of bushrangers, graziers who inhabited one of the greatest Australian cattle and horse studs of its time. Have a look at the rare architect-designed barn built around 1867, and the gracious Colonial Georgian country house. Tocal Homestead is a very popular venue for weddings and milestone celebrations.
