The best garage sale
ever in the history of ever
LAKE House in Daylesford is synonymous with elegance and style and has been for 30 years. In that time they’ve had many refits, have rearranged and updated furniture and fittings and have amassed a collection of ‘things’ of very high quality, in excellent condition, that no longer have a use at the hotel. So the lovelies at Lake House have decided to have a one-off garage sale to clear the lot. They’re selling ex-Lake House furniture, (chairs, tables, a full dining setting, a massive wine rack, lounges and chairs, sofa beds, recliners, etc) linen (think gorgeous merino blankets, etc) old doors, lamps, mirrors, decorator items, crockery, cutlery, and loads more stuff, even a golf cart and an old Holden Rodeo ute! Best. Garage. Sale. Everrrrr. Venue: Daylesford Primary School gym (Vincent St.) Sunday, June 1, 10am-12pm. All proceeds go back to the school’s kitchen garden program. (Told you they were lovelies, how awesome is that?!)
Bespoke bits and bobs
and heavenly hand-made-ness-ness
THERE’S a new makers’ market in town… Ooooooh! The inaugural Vincent St Makers’ Market will be held on Sunday, June 1, at the Daylesford Town Hall, 10am ‘til 4pm. Now, the Daylesford Town Hall ain’t exactly massive… and we hear there were… like, actually billions of creative crafters and marvellous makers vying for a space to sell their hand-made treasures at this brand new market space. Wow. The market organisers had sleepless nights trawling through oodles of applications, and through a heart wrenching process of elimination picked the very bestest of the best artisans to host their own stall on the day. This is some high quality stuff people. Come along and meet these talented local and regional designers and artists, and buy something unique and wonderful. Choose from art and clothing, children’s thingames, treats and treasures. For more info on the market follow facebook.com/vincentstmakersmarket. 2

Touchy, feely, warm & fuzzy textile art
IN AN era when spare time is eaten away by Candy Crush and reality cooking shows it’s good to know that some people actually deny themselves screentime to create. (Yeah, we know… wow!) Textile artists from across the land have been busy stitching, knitting, weaving and working their patooties off to create a wild exhibition of contemporary creations for the Contemporary Textiles Award and Exhibition, to be held at Buda, Sunday, June 1, ‘til Sunday, June 15. The award has only one category this year: ‘Contemporary Textiles’, so it’s an all-in freeflowing fest of crafty creativity and fine works of textile art. There are four prizes up for grabs including a student/apprentice encouragement award. Visit Buda Historic Home and Garden (42 Hunter Street Castlemaine) to see the best textile art happening in Victoria right now. For more info call Buda 5472 1032 or go to budacastlemaine.org.
ANZAC Day 2015
we will remember them
NEXT year marks the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli. It is a significant date for many Australians, as we remember those who landed on that beach in 1915, and others who have served for our country throughout the years. There will be many services and events to commemorate the 100th anniversary next April. One such event is to fill Fed Square in Melbourne with a sea of 5000 hand made poppies as a community tribute of respect and remembrance. (…we have a hunch they’ll eclipse that 5000!) Trentham Neighbourhood Centre is hosting an afternoon to make knitted, crocheted or felted poppies to add to this stunning visual tribute to our service men and women. Meet at Trentham Neighbourhood Centre (Cnr Market and High Sts) Thursday, June 5, 2pm-4pm. For more info call Trentham Neighbourhood Centre 5424 1354. More info on the project at: 5000poppies.wordpress.com. 4

Think global eat local
WORLD Environment Day is Thursday, June 5. For more than 40 years this day has been recognised around the world as a day to reflect on the current state of our local and global environs. It is an opportunity to consider how our environment is coping with how us human types treat it (and what we can do to treat it better). This year the Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group and the Trentham Sustainability Group have joined together to commemorate this day and are hosting a dinner at the Cosmopolitan Hotel (Cosmo Road, Trentham) with a very special guest speaker: Mark Wakeham, Acting CEO of Environment Victoria. Mark will discuss the options we have as a state right now to act positively to bring environmental issues back into the spotlight in a state election year. The dinner starts at 6:30pm. Cost $30. For more info and bookings call Glenda 5424 1727 or go to mrsgonline.org.au/wed2014.
Weeeee Ahhhh yay fireworks!
WHY do we like fireworks so much? Huh? It’s kind of a weird thing. Someone shoots some explosives into the air, we ooh and ahh and then go home. Except for dogs and toddlers, they Freak. Out. And perhaps they actually have the right idea… they’re loud bangy explosions of fire set off kinda a bit too close. Yet, fireworks fascinate us. Look at Sydney Harbour on NYE… kabillions jostle for a vantage point to ooh and ahh at the annual epic fireworkarama. This month the Woodend Winter Arts festival begins (as always) with a bang (or 50) at their Festival Fireworks display, Friday, June 6. This spectacularly sparkly family friendly evening starts at 5:30 with live entertainment and food stalls (so you can grab a bit of dinner before the fireworks begin). The fireworks will be held at Buffalo Stadium Oval, Forest Street Woodend. For more info on the Woodend Arts Festival see page 12 or go to woodendwinterartsfestival.org.au. 8

I’m in a Glenlyon state of mind…
NEW York City is a very long way from Glenlyon. (Google tells us it’s 16,710 kilometres away. Yep. We checked.) Australian born songstress/performance poet Meryl Leppard traveled to NYC and that wonderful city did what it does to most of us… it seduced her with its awesomeness and wouldn’t let her go. For four years Meryl immersed herself in the city. She performed in cabaret venues, composed off-Broadway shows, wrote and recorded many songs inspired by the city and lived a fabulous New York life. Glenlyon could be described as off off off off off off off off Broadway, and on Friday, June 6, it will be indeed, as Meryl performs at The Old Glenlyon General Store (63 Barkly Street) accompanied by Nicolas Lyon. Close your eyes and you could be almost 17,000 kms away as Meryl takes you to New York and back with her amazing tunes. For more info call: 5348 7922 or follow facebook.com/GlenlyonGeneralStore.
Hepburn’s Got Talent
…happy birthday performance night
BEFORE the era of ‘touchdowns’ and spin-around-chairs the humble performance night at the Old Hepburn Hotel was creating musical stars of all genres and styles. On Friday, June 6, Performance Night celebrates its 14th birthday. (Wow!) This night has a great history, welcoming new acts from around town, around the state, even musos on tour from the UK and Europe have hit the stage, producing some pretty major talent along the way: Think Mia Dyson and Declan Sykes. Not bad huh? Traditionally the audience votes with applause and the best act wins the door money. Ch-ching! The celebrations will kick off at 6pm and you’re guaranteed some massive entertainment for your $4 entry fee with Lizanne Richards on stage with Old Man River, Ariane Sewell, Soul Choir, Indi Eisner and loads more, in fact, six hours of live music awesomeness. Yay! For more info call the pub 5348 2207 or go to oldhepburnhotel.com.au. 10

The buzz on bees
BEES get a bit of a bad rap. Which is sooo unfair. Bees are the good guys of the garden, sure they’re packin’ a nasty sting, but they only use it in self defence (your Honour). Bees are the nerds of the garden, all that perfect hexagonal geometry in the hive and clever cross pollination they get up to, not to mention the litres of honey they whip up for us, they’re anything but a pest, unlike the delinquent good-for-nothing European wasps that crash your barbeques and sting at random. Buzz off. If you’ve ever pondered the possibility of becoming a backyard bee keeper Daylesford Neighbourhood Centre is hosting a Beekeeping for Beginners weekend Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8, 10am-2pm. Discover what you need to do to produce your very own honey and look after these awesome garden pals. The workshop is $80 (includes equipment) For more info and bookings contact DNC 5348 3569 or like them on Facebook.
R‘n’B
passion ‘n’ soul
IF YOU haven’t heard of Joe Camilleri you’ve been living under a rock. A large one. Perhaps Uluru? Yes. A VERY large rock. Joe Camilleri has been writing recording and playing music since, like, forever. He has the kind of back catalogue that you have tucked away upstairs (in your head, der, not the attic), and if one of his tunes starts on the radio you’ll be singing along even though you didn’t realise you knew all the words. He’s subliminal baby. Joe is rolling out a huge new (not so subliminal) show. Joe Camilleri’s R’n’B All Star Spectacular featuring Garland Jeffreys and the Black Sorrows (and Daniel Champagne on support) is coming to the Theatre Royal (30 Hargreaves St, Castlemaine), Saturday, June 7. Garland Jeffreys is just one of the total heroes of American music, he has played with Springsteen… say no more. This promises to be a gig full of passion and soul.

Cold days hot jazz
YOU know what it’s like when an uninvited guest does the drop in, and you’re not ready for it… and it’s not cool… We’re kinda feeling a little bit like that with good ol’ Aunt June this month… hmmm. It goes like this… “Oh June! You’re here again! And who did you bring with you this time? Your friends Fog? Oh and Mr. Drizzle I see. Hi Icy Winds and Uncle Sleet. Yes yes… We remember you. (Greaaaat). Come in, come in, let us take your puffy ¾ length Kathmandu coat and would you mind taking off your Hunter wellies at the door? Thanks”. *cringe* Seriously. How on earth is it June? Again? We’re all well aware that winter can be a bit of a drag around here. Fortunately we live in a region full of creative peeps who organise amazing events to keep our mind off the freezingness. June means it’s time to bust out the mittens and boots and hit the winter festivals. One such event is the Castlemaine Jazz Festival. Hello…. red wine, open fires and cruisy jazz. That’s gotta be the perfect cure for the winter blues right there. For two days over the long weekend, (Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8,) more than FIFTY jazz acts (wow) will converge on Castlemaine to play their patooties off. The bands range from talented trios to the super 20 piece Daylesford Swing Band. Many of the bands on the program have national and international careers, so you know it’ll be a bit completely awesome. The bands on the bill all play such a hugely diverse range of jazz, so they’re promising something for everyone… but to be honest, you had us at red wine and jazz. Ticketing includes Day and Weekend passes allowing access to all seven venues. For more information, including the full Castlemaine Jazz Festival program and tickets go to castlemainejazzfestival.com.au or drop in at the office in the Ray Bradfield room off Mostyn Street (between Victory Park and the IGA). Sorry Mr. Drizzle and Uncle Sleet, you’re not welcome.

Oh love
the Olive
OLIVES are useful little nuggets of joy aren’t they? Love ‘em. And how luscious is that first press of olive oil? That colour and fragrance… (+ balsamic + a wedge of sourdough). Love. Kyneton Olive Oil is hosting their annual open weekend Saturday, June 7, till Monday, June 9, 10am – 4pm. They are opening their gates to all to sample fresh extra virgin olive oils, (including their wild range of delicious infused oils – think: lemon, ginger, basil, chili, garlic and rosemary oils… yum) table olives and naturally processed tapanade. Take a tour of the processing facilities, enjoy wine tastings from local wineries, browse the local produce market and enjoy a bit of lunch. (Olives are most definitely on the menu.) You’ll find Kyneton Olive Oil at 2090 Kyneton-Heathcote Road Barfold (near Kyneton) For more information and directions go to kynetonoliveoil.com.au or call 5423 4240. Entry is free.
Bubbles and brews a watery feast
DID you know that Daylesford/Hepburn Springs is the mineral water capital of Australia? Uh huh! We’re a bit proud of it. We love pumping the tingly minerally water from our mineral springs and guzzling it by the litre. How lucky we are that we live above these ancient aquifers. The Swiss and Italian settlers to this region fought to save our natural mineral water springs from fevered gold miners back in the 1850s, and so we can still enjoy mineral water straight from the pump as they did then. The Daylesford Mineral Water Festival will be held Saturday, June 7, to Monday, June 9, at the Daylesford Town Hall (Vincent Street). There will be cooking demos where local kitchen whizzes will dish up deliciousness created with mineral water. Try everything from Mayan hot chocolate to risotto. Entry: $12 adult, $2 kids (10-17 years) under 10 free. For more info like Daylesford Mineral Water Festival on Facebook. 18

Warm hands warm hearts
OK WE realise we’re banging on a bit about the fact that it’s winter now, but it’s kind of a big deal around here. One day it’s 44 degrees in your loungeroom and your CFA app is going off in your pocket with fire alerts and warnings and the next it seems we’re living on Australia’s northernmost Antarctic station. Brrr. SO! What to do to keep warm this winter? Other than a move to the Tropic of Capricorn, your best option for some deep, core warming cosiness is to book yourself in for some day spa indulgence. Daylesford Day Spa is now in its 10th year at 25 Albert Street, and just reading their winter menu of massage treatments, facials and packages warms the bones. This winter, Daylesford Day Spa could possibly be the warmest place to be (other than a wood fired pizza oven). Everything they do is geared toward relaxation and warmth. Each double treatment room has an open fire, the treatment beds are made toasty with electric blankets, towels are warmed and even their tiled floors are heated. The whole space is warm and earthy with candles and scented oils, far, far away from the cold grey outside. Daylesford Day Spa’s warming winter treatments include aromatic candle massages, with silky hydrating warm soybean and essential oils, classic hot stone massages, exclusive bamboo massage treatments (think: warmed bamboo rods rolling over your bod soothing away tension, warming as they work) and the Sothys oriental cinnamon scrub and stone poultice massage, (heaven!) This month if you book a two or three hour double treatment, the 2nd person will receive 50% off the price of their treatment (split the difference friends, it’s a great deal!) See the website for doubles packages. And! As a special offer for lovely lost readers: if you, (yes, YOU) want to partake in a little Daylesford Day Spa core warming indulgence, book 24hrs ahead and you’ll get $10 off your treatment. Yay! (Just mention you read it in lost!) See the full menu of luscious treatments at daylesforddayspa.com.au or book: 5348 2331. 20

Furry feathered freaks no more
OUR furry and feathered friends are super cute. No one’s arguing that. But damn if they don’t look like freak alien monsters when you try to draw them. Ann Jeffree is a wildlife and pet portrait artist and knows how to capture their furred and feathered good looks... without turning them into freaks. Ann will be sharing her animal painting skills and tips and tricks (yay, thanks Ann) at the Feathers and Fur creative workshops at Creswick Neighbourhood Centre, Sunday, June 8, and Sunday, June 15, 10am until 1pm. Sign up for two relaxing mornings of illustration and painting and build on your animal drawing skills. All materials will be provided. Cost $85 ($60 conc.)

Playing chicken
in your backyard
HOW good are chooks? Keeping chooks is like having a fun, fluffy, little gossipy mother’s group in your backyard. But there’s less goss, and more eggs (win!) A happy backyard chook has pretty basic needs, a safe shelter, food, water, and some space to bust out her sassy chicken walk. It helps if you have a garden where they can strut their stuff, they’ll take care of the grubs and pests, and any kitchen scraps, they’ll fertilise your plants, (and eat them too if you’re not onto it). Chooks are a commitment though, so if you’re thinking about taking the plunge into the realm of chooks (and it is a realm... just watch that pecking order) best you get a heads up. Diggers Club at Garden of St Erth (Simmons Reef Rd, Blackwood) is hosting a Chooks in the Backyard workshop, Sunday, June 8, 11am. Find out all the chicken goss from Fleur the chook guru. The session is $35. Book through St Erth: 5368 6514. More info at diggers.com.au. 22

A winter garden
under an autumn sky
A WINTER garden can feel a little snoresome. Dormant trees and pruned back plants sleeping ‘til spring don’t exactly inspire you to be out there. The Spa Country Sculptors Association know how to revive a hibernating garden, and have planted more than 20 pieces of exciting sculpture at Lavandula (350 Hepburn-Newstead Road Shepherds Flat – just out of Hepburn). The Under an Autumn Sky outdoor sculpture exhibition is on now until Monday, June 9. More than 20 talented local sculptors have created bold pieces in stone, metal, wood and reclaimed materials. Follow the sculpture trail at Lavandula to discover these wonderful works (most of which are for sale... hint hint if your winter garden needs an injection of awesomeness). The exhibition is free. Entry to Lavandula is $4 ($1 for school aged kids). More info at: lavandula.com.au or call the Spa Sculptors Association: 0481 326 009.
Haloumi, I love you,

HELLO cheese. We love you. We are mighty happy to have you in our lives. No really. A little bit obsessed is the best way to describe our relationship with those wondrous wheels, wedges and blocks. You know how some people swoon over the windows at Tiffany? Yeah, that’s us in the dairy fridges at the deli. Creswick Neighbourhood Centre is offering a one day cheese making session for beginners, Wednesday, June 11, from 10am ‘til 4pm. Create a selection of deliciousness: including haloumi, feta, and camembert. Stop. It. Charlene Angus from Bellarine Craft Cheese Makers Group will teach you everything you know to create your own DIY Fromagerie. (We’ll bring the crackers!) Cost is $160, all materials included.

It’s good
to be the King
BY KING Maxwell’s reckoning, he is just two words away from being world famous. We kind of love that. Using this awesome logic we are just a couple of words away from being able to time travel. You know it. King Maxwell has a rich blues repertoire and experience. He revels in 1920s, 30s, 40s acoustic blues, rag and swing. King Maxwell has been playing and singing for over 30 years. No mean feat for royalty. He has played solo, in duos, trios and big bands at all manner of events: from house parties to tree plantings to rodeos to festivals. (Yes. Tree plantings. So awesome.) King Maxwell doesn’t mind the odd spot of busking too, but will put the hat away for his gig at the Old Glenlyon General Store (63 Barkly Street) Friday, June 20. Start your weekend with a bit of acoustic blues and head down early for a 6:30pm start. For more facebook.com/GlenlyonGeneralStore or call 5348 7922.
Everyone relax
it’s almost summer
OK, SO slight exaggeration there… but guess what happens on June 21? It’s the winter solstice baby… which means from that date, the days are getting longer, and the nights are getting shorter till high summer friends. (Though it’s not quite time to bust out the banana lounges just yet…) To celebrate winter solstice and the return of light, Samantha at Vlinder Holistic Fitness Studio is leading Chakradance Saturday, June 21, at her studio (37-39 East Street, Daylesford) 6:308pm. The dance is freestyle, and everyone is welcome (aged 18+). Be guided through the chakras with Sam, or just move the way you want to the uplifting, music. Bring a favourite cushion to sit and feel the music or bring drawing materials to create, instead of dance. This session is yours to experience the solstice, and celebrate the return of light the way you want to. Cost $15. For more information and bookings (limited numbers) call Samantha 0433 848 292. 26

Keeping Daylesford warm one beanie at a time
OUR little community is pretty awesome. We are a friendly, positive bunch, with a green conscience, an enthusiastic, strong creative pulse, and a caring, humanitarian heart. Awww. This time of year can be a bit tough on some of the most vulnerable members of our little community, so a couple of lovely locals have decided to give something back, and are inviting everyone to help out. Keeping Daylesford Warm is the plan! Everyone who can, is invited to create and donate hand-crafted warm winter woolies for those who really need them this year. So… knitters and crocheters of the Hepburn Shire… Unite! It’s time to clickety clack! Whip up a beanie or two, mittens, scarves, slippers, squares for blankets, whatever you can muster. They are looking for items of all sizes, for babies, children and adults. And if you’re not a knitter or crafty type, the knitters are always after donations of wool. Please donate full or nearly full balls of wool, or new hand-made items made with love to give to those in need this winter. Keeping Daylesford Warm is hosting a very special Knit-In: Saturday, June 14, 1pm ‘til 4pm at the Daylesford Community Health Centre (13 Hospital Street). Bring along your KDW project, (or feel free to drop in with a ball of wool or two for the knitting crew) and spend the afternoon knitting with friends. Share a cuppa and take a peak at other KDW items people have made. The winter woolies will be distributed through Daylesford and District Food Aid. There’s no deadline on this project, our winters are long, there’s always someone who could use a nice warm beanie, so it’s never too late to start your own gift for someone who needs it. (Perhaps this could be the project you need to start that knitting/crocheting dream you’ve always had….*hmmm… note to self.) If you have a finished item (or wool) that you wish to donate, drop it off at 4/34 Smith Street, Daylesford or call Mell and she’ll pick it up. For more info on the project call Mell on: 0404 165 275 or join facebook.com/keepingdaylesfordwarm. 28

Doing donuts
and being cute
HOW cute is Glenlyon? No really… it’s cute. We totally have a town crush on Glenlyon. Each month the local Glenlynions (Glenlyonites? Glenlyonese?) raid their gardens for excess fruit and vegies to sell at the Glenlyon Village Market. It’s like the most delicious, cutest vegie swap meet you’ve ever seen. It’s held on the third Saturday of each month (this month Saturday, June 21) at the Glenlyon Shire Hall. (Barkly Street.) Gorgeous organics and lovingly home harvested bits and bobs for sale, as well as preserves, bikkies, cakes, pastries, olive oils and other deliciousness… like the most amazing donuts made to order… So here’s the plan, dress in your warmest scarf and boots, head to Glenlyon, grab a takeaway coffee and a couple of handmade hot donuts and get all Glenlyon. (Make sure you grab a few local vegies to make a big soup later on… look at you go you winter wonder, sooo cute!) For more market info call Dan Harris 5348 7662.
Warning:
this article may contain nuts
ANY fool can grow a lettuce. (Pretty much) And as great as it is to pick a fresh mixed leaf green salad on a sunny evening barefoot in your vegie patch… at the end of the day it still just lettuce. What is really cool is if your garden produces nuts. How great are nuts?

Friday night
make it a double… bass
AHH Liz Frencham. We are happy/proud/thrilled and feeling a bit show-off-y to count you as one of our own. Can we claim that? Please? You might know Liz Frencham as the lovely double bass totin’ lass who plays that wondrous monstrous instrument around the traps. She writes, she sings, she plays, and she has everyone mesmerized with her remarkable talent, honesty and wonderful words and voice. Liz has toured the world with bands of various shapes and sizes and since she lives in this neck of the woods these days, Liz is hitting the Old Glenlyon General Store, (63 Barkly Street) Friday, June 27, to play some tunes and ease you into your weekend. Thanks Liz! You’re ace. She’s playing from 6:30pm. For more information like Glenlyon General Store on Facebook or call 5348 7922, or check out Liz and her loveliness and awesomeness and brilliant doublebassiness at lizfrencham.com.
Takes one
to know one
WE LOVE the story of Graveyard Train. A few Melbourne mates used to get drunk and play dive bars around the place… but the problem was they were actually a bit good, and *shazzam* now they’re about to embark on a European tour. Along the way their 2012 album Hollow scored five star reviews, wormed its way onto album of the year lists and the single I’m Gone was the #1 most played tune on community radio. They landed the golden boot at Meredith, they’ve festivaled everywhere, and have just released the new album Takes One to Know One, which they’re dragging around the countryside on a much anticipated Aussie tour before heading to Europe. They’re zipping around everywhere from Brissy to Perth, to the Dark Mofo Festival in Tassie, and stopping in at the Old Hepburn Hotel (236 Main Rd) Sunday, June 29 from 4pm. Yes. Tickets are $25. For more info and bookings go to oldhepburnhotel.com.au. 30

No more whingerfest it’s WinterFest time!
AAAAAARRRRGHHHH!! The winter school holidays are almost upon us!! And they are the hardest. Two full weeks. Inside. Sure summer holidays are longer, but the sun is on your side during those long, sunny, school-free weeks. Like a close ally, the sun gives you a knowing wink and a pat on the back in summer and says, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered here, let the kids outside, let them run off some steam, ride bikes and play in the trees. All good. However, when the sun takes her northern hemisphere sojourn this time of year, and the weather turns from bright to blah, it is a little harder to keep the kiddos from climbing up the walls and killing each other. It’s ok everyone. No need to panic. There is an amazeballs winter festival for the kids these hols held for two solid weeks across four venues in Daylesford. The Daylesford WinterFest for Kids is on Saturday, June 28, ‘til Sunday, July 13. It’s two full weeks of awesome fun stuff to do. All indoors, but not at yours. (Sweet). Monday, June 30, WinterFest treats the lucky local kids to a super circus/magic show starring superperformer Justin. It seems it’s just a normal day, until Justin turns on his radio and it mischievously directs him into some crazy antics. Justin tries magic, circus and music to help fix his situation. The show is at 2pm, tickets $5, (parents free) at Court 3 at the ARC (Smith St. Daylesford). Perfect for primary aged kids. Other events throughout WinterFest include indoor soccer and Tang Soo martial art trials, (give it a go and see if you like it!) an interschool disco, theatre sports, rock climbing yep! The ARC has a rock climbing wall – hello awesomeness! (better they climb the walls at the ARC than the walls at home). There will be Circus/Trapeze/Tissu workshops lead by an ex-Circus Oz, Flying Fruit Fly Cirque Du Soleil performer (strictly limited places… boy you’re lucky Daylesford kids!) and more stuff that we’ll talk about next month!
