OLIVES

Special guests, Birdlife Southern NSW Judy Harrington, and artist Lisa Woolfe.

Serious about birds? Our residents got to go birding with Judy Harrington along the Tucoerah (Georges) River near Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre.

In the drawing workshop with Lisa Woolfe, participants enjoyed learning about the migratory birds that stop along the Tucoerah River estuary on their journey along the East Asian-Australasian flyway. Participants learned to draw a range of birds including moorhens, herons, pelicans, cuckoos and more!

If you love olives, here is a great recipe for entertaining in the cooler months at home:

1. Take drained olives, add lemon or orange slices, garlic cloves, rosemary, and a drizzle of olive oil.

2. Bake for about 30 minutes at medium heat until they look roasted and a bit shrivelled.

3. Enjoy with your family and friends as an afternoon snack or as a side dish with lunch or dinner

So delicious, why not see if there is room for an olive tree in your backyard? Contact your local plant nursery for advice.

Also, be sure to be across the relevant food allergy and food safety information for your family & friends.
