Riversdale Farm memories

Veterinarian, cattle producer and author Peter Honey, who grew up on Riversdale Farm, will be speaking at Kiama Library on his book Footprints across Riversdale

The book details the early history of the Kiama area through the lens of the families who made their homes on this Illawarra Estate from the 1830s until the 1940s.

Many of the surnames are still recognisable in the community today.

The interesting publication, with many local names coming into it, will be on sale on the day for $35 cash only.

Folk Festival calls for help

Kiama’s folk style festival –Folk by the Sea – that livens up the town three days a year needs volunteers.

People are needed behind the bar, to set up and pack down, billet musicians, videography and general help across the weekend.

Volunteers will earn a free festival pass while learning new skills and meeting like minded people.

The festival features the sounds of folk, world, roots, Celtic and bluegrass music across five venues in and around the Kiama Showground and will welcome up to 35 artists from across Australia.

Visit folkbythesea.com.au to become a volunteer.
