Something in the water...

It’s a spring thing

lost the guide to where to find it

A LITTLE quiz to test your local knowledge: Which of these statements is true?

1. Hepburn Springs earned its name due to a local spring manufacturing plant, that made tiny springs for those annoying clicky pens??

2. The region is nick-named ‘Spa Country’ after the famous country music act The Spa Sisters hailing from Daylesford??

3. Mineral water is A) Delicious, B) Super good for you C) More precious than gold.

Ding ding! If you answered number 3 you are correct! In case you weren’t aware, you are deep in Spa Country. The area surrounding Daylesford, (in a rough 30k radius) contains most of Australia’s mineral springs. The delicious drinkable stuff around here is perfectly pure, naturally effervescent and icy cold. They all taste different too, depending on what underground alchemy takes place… Some are a bit stinky, (some people dig it) some are sweet and zingy, some taste like the imported stuff served in schmancy restaurants. But if you BYO cup, you can drink it fresh from the source. For free.

Legend says that during the goldrush, mining caused several springs to dry up… people power saw the mining stop and the beautiful bubbles spill to the surface once more!

Hoorah!

There are too many springs to list here, but try Hepburn Springs Reserve for starters, (with several springs in one place). If Hepburn’s distinctive flavour isn’t exactly your cup of tea, try Sailors Falls (on the Ballan Road, 5kms out of town) – it tastes a bit less, um, mineral-y, plus you get to see the spekky waterfall hidden from the road (you’d never know it was there). Or heading towards Trentham, turn left past Lyonville and head down into the forest to Lyonville Spring. Not only is it picturesque with tall timbers and the creek winding by, the water is delish. For all the springs info go to The Daylesford Visitor Information Centre (Vincent Street) or mineralwater.vic.gov.au 10

Brrk Brrk Bergerk!

What free range dreams are made of IT’S THE romantic dream. Move to the country, get some chooks… (ok, maybe romantic is the wrong word… Practical?

Permaculturally Correct? Oh you know what we mean)… But before you bring home Mrs Hennie Hen and her feathered brood of strutting mama cluckers, you need to know the basics. Saturday, September 8, Daylesford Neighbourhood Centre (13 Camp Street) is hosting a beginner’s Chook Wise session. It will cover all you need to know to hit the ground clucking. Learn a little about the physiology of chooks, best nutrition, appropriate housing for your feathered friends, how to keep them safe from pests and diseases, as well as a little trouble shooting, breeding, and more. The session runs from 10am – 4pm. And costs $70/$55 conc. (A small price to pay for a lifetime of omelettes). To book contact DNC on: 5348 3569 or visit: ourneighbourhood.org.au for more info.

Cupcake 101

lost the guide to where to find it

Nan would be proud IN RECENT years the humble cupcake has had somewhat of a personality makeover and now shows up in many guises: couture cupcakes are stacked precipitously high as elegant wedding cakes, and bite-sized gourmet mouthfuls of pleasure are brown paper bagged, scoffed and quaffed with coffee. In hipster hideouts, entire stores are dedicated to their worship. We’ve come a long way from the good ol’ days of fairy cakes and patty pans, and now it’s time to don your apron and roll up your sleeves… ‘coz cupcake classes are comin’ to town!

Whip up a batch of your own cupcake awesomeness at Trentham Neighbourhood House (High Street) Saturday, September 8. Discover the secrets of cupcake creation, and share your baked bliss afterwards with a cuppa.

For more information telephone TNH on: 5424 1354.

Cost is $10, and everything is supplied.

Crafternoon

Delight

THERE’S crafty like a fox... and then there’s crafty like your girlfriend who screen-prints skirts and crochets mittens, has a shop on Etsy and blogs about knitting. Yeah, we’re talking about the latter. Threadneedle Craft (Shop 2, 52A Vincent Street, Daylesford – just near Coles) is hosting their annual Stitchery Retreat: Saturday September 8, and Sunday September 9, at Peppers Springs Retreat (124 Main Road, Hepburn Springs).

If you crave a bit of craft inspiration, pop along to one day, or both. The guest stitchers this year are fabulously creative and promise to inspire! Saturday, Natalie Lymer of Cinderberry Stitches and Jodie Carleton of Ric Rac will take the session. They have created amazing designs for the day and two complete kits will be included in your goodie bag (ooooh! LOVE a goodie bag)!

Both designers will be around all day to chat and stitch, answer questions, (if you can get over your tongue-tied-ness being in the presence of your craft heroes - *sigh*). In the afternoon it’s free stitching time, chat the arvo away, eat chocolate, listen to stories of stitches dropped and projects finished – there will also be special guests popping in to discuss the finer points of crochet, felting and knitting.

Natalie will lead a quilting masterclass on Sunday, demonstrating the skills used to create her wonderful whimsical designs. In Sunday’s bag of tricks is a quilt top kit, with three colour variations available, (swoon) – feel free to bombard Natalie with tricky quilting questions, or just bathe in her quilt mastery and hope a little rubs off on you.

Peppers Mineral Springs Retreat is catering the day, with lunches and indulgent morning and afternoon teas included.

You’ll also walk away with a gift bag (more goodies!!) stuffed full with original patterns, and extra surprises.

Book in a weekend of craftiness, indulgence and inspiration.

Stocking up

lost the guide to where to find it

On gallery goodness IN KYNETON’S great sea of golden daffodils this month, there are many gardens to wander, but let’s face it, just because the calendar says winter’s over - it doesn’t mean the sun’s out non-stop ‘til April. Nuh-uh. If you find yourself in Kyneton in September, and the great outdoors ain’t lookin’ so great, pay a visit to Stockroom (98 Piper Street).

The store is stocked with treasures for your home and your wardrobe, with artworks of all styles, as well as vintage and bespoke furniture, reclaimed and repurposed pieces and new, just begging to be given a new home. Try on clothing by fab designers, drool over hand crafted accessories, (actually don’t, wipe your mouth please), then cruise the galleries and take in three new exhibitions.

Stockroom launches their latest exhibitions on Saturday, September 8, 4:30 till 7pm. There are three artists exhibiting in September: Tai Snaith has written and illustrated a new children’s book The Family Hour in Australia. Her clever and quirky story depicts the daily lives of 15 Australian native animals and their families. It’s fun, informative, wonderfully inclusive (depicting all types of families) and damn these animals have style. Yes, that IS a green Featherston lounge in the Quoll loungeroom. Her original watercolour, pencil and gouache works for the book will be on display, and as an extra special treat Tai will be reading from the book (for both parents and kids) at 10am Sunday, September 9.

Kim Barter’s Papier is a series of paintings and drawings expressing an inner landscape. Kim sketched her works on various camping trips here and there (deserts, beaches, mountains, you name it) and transformed these memories of literal landscapes into vibrant expressive works, richly textured and free spirited. Ahh what a bit of fresh air does to us! Stefan Gevers’ Secondhand Serenade explores how an abandoned and forgotten place can still summon a powerful memory. His works focus on over­looked details in the landscape, and the effect created by human intervention.

The exhibitions will run until Sunday, October 7. For more information go to: stockroomkyneton.com or call 5422 3215.

Cold Chisels and Rolling Stones Rocking it in Creswick

SINCE pre-Neolithic times, us homo-sapien types have been into rocks. For millennia carving stone has been both a necessity and a hobby for those with opposable thumbs.

Nowadays we don’t need to chisel a rock to fashion a knife with which to butter our bread, but there are still those among us who are passionate about creating objects of beauty from stone.

David Barclay is one such modern human into stone carving.

He insists that shaping stone is easier than you think, and offers a two day weekend workshop (Saturday and Sunday, September 8 and 9 at Creswick Railway Workshops, Lewers Street), where he’ll teach you how to carve a beautiful stone birdbath. A selection of basalt rocks will be available, or you can always BYO rock. Sessions will be held 10am - 4pm.

Cost $100 / $85 conc. For more info and bookings contact Creswick Neighbourhood Centre, 5345 2356.

Melbourne Chamber Orchestra

lost the guide to where to find it

Get your highbrow on

THROUGHOUT the years the historic Daylesford Town Hall (Vincent Street) has played host to everything from cake stalls to concerts, ballet to bush dancing, fancy-dressbook-balls to shiny-disco-balls, and on Sunday, September 9, at 2:30pm, the old hall is tuning up, and stepping into her finery for the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, as they present Bach and Bach.

This concert contrasts Johann Sebastian’s ‘Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048’ with ‘A Flute Concerto in D minor H425’ by his son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, (and features rising star flute soloist Taryn Richards on flute). The afternoon is gloriously tied up in strings with the Dvorak Quintet in G, op. 77 deliciously rounding out the performance.

Tickets are available from eCasa (89 Vincent Street), Picnics and Peonies, (8 Howe Street) and Benjamin Bandicoot (31 Vincent Street) and are $45/$35 conc. Info at: mco.org.au.

Thank your plucky stars The banjos are a-comin’

GUILDFORD. It’s a wee town with a big tree and an old pub. And once a year the pluckers and twangers of the land converge upon Guildford to, well… pluck and twang. The Guildford Banjo Jamboree is a celebration of the banjo in all its forms, with an emphasis on American string band music, bluegrass, old timey, jugband, Hawaiian and blues. As well as a bit of contemporary, Celtic and jazz in there too. The 9th annual event will be held Friday, September 21 - Sunday September 23.

Fall in love...

With this cowgirl SADDLE UP! Lanie Lane is comin’ to town. Lanie’s unique and charming rockabilly style will fill the Theatre Royal (30 Hargraves Street Castlemaine) Saturday, September 22, with country blues and a whole lot of sweet heart and soul. Her debut album ‘To the Horses’ nods its cowboy hat to early rock ‘n’ roll with tales of heartbreak, love, lust and the odd horsie or two.

Rumour has it that Lanie will be saddling up as she tours her album, savouring her other great love (horse riding) and taking in the most beautiful parts of the country on horseback between gigs. Ahh a gal true to her great loves.

The guitar, and her trusty steed.

Call the Theatre Royal to book tickets: $25 show only from 8pm, $60 dinner and show from 7pm. 5472 1196.

Feeling dirty and seedy on a Sunday morning... again

GUESS WHAT?! If you plant little seeds in the ground they grow into plants. Stop. It. And if that’s all you know about gardening, fret not! Help is at hand! The clever greenthumbed folk at The Diggers Club are hosting a Spring Seed Sowing workshop at the beautiful Garden of St Erth (Simmons Reef Road, Blackwood) Sunday, September 23 from 11am. Learn all the tips and tricks that’ll have your little seeds producing incredible flowers and abundant fresh vegies in no time! The Diggers have published a 72 page seed catalogue… In a gardener’s life this is even more exciting than a Christmas toy catalogue for kids. Spring seed sowing is a crazy-exciting time of year for a gardener, and it’s actually super easy to do. Dig a little deeper and learn more… call St Erth to book your place: 5368 6514.

(Diggers members $20, non members $25).

Party like a Wombat

lost the guide to where to find it

You know you want to...

WOMBAT Hill House is the café perched high on top of Wombat Hill in the middle of Daylesford’s beautiful Botanic Gardens. And they’re celebrating their first birthday this month. Yippee!

Let’s face it, one would be roughly seven in wombat years, so they have loads of party plans and fun stuff lined up for all of September. Saturday, September 1, the café will be open for breakfast and lunch as usual, with live music serenading the hill-top from 1 till 4pm. The hill will be alive with the sound of music (and wombats) each weekend this month with loads more live music and birthday fun.

For what’s on go to the fairly funky website at: wombathillhouse.com.au, phone: 4373 0099, or find them on facebook for up to the minute Wombat party plans!

The café is open Thursday to Monday, 9am till 4pm.

Holidays...in Castlemaine

THE CASTLEMAINE Children’s Literature Festival will be held next month, (October 1 – 7 at various locations in and around Castlemaine) – but with school holidays starting Saturday, September 22, the clever peeps at the festival committee have decided to run a pre-festival program, with a couple of days of fun with words for kids from four years of age. The Festival is a celebration of reading, writing and creativity for kids, young people and families. Pre-festival events include a zine workshop (we’ll be on the look out for pointers!) a poetry workshop, and an evening for adults who want to write for children.

Tuesday, September 25, veteran Melbourne zine publisher, Luke Sinclair invites kids to make their own zine (a mini magazine) under his guidance. Luke is an artist who has published more than 500 issues of his current zine.

(Sheesh)! He works at Sticky Institute (a Melbourne artistrun space) which is totally dedicated to zines. Luke will run the Get Sticky Zine Workshops for kids ages from 4 to 7 years: 10.30 till 11.30am, 8 to 12 years: 1.00 till 3pm and ages 12+ from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. The workshops will be held at Castlemaine Library (Barker Street) Free entry, bookings required: 5472 1458.

Wednesday, September 26, Author and poet, Lorraine Marwood, is hosting a session called Talking Poetry. Using everyday speech and repetition, kids will create a fun poem they’ll love to read and perform. This free session is for kids ages 7 to 11, and will be held at the Castlemaine Library (Barker Street), 2pm – 3pm. Book at the library 5472 1458.

The Castlemaine Word Mine is a goldmine for writers, readers and wordsmiths. On Wednesday, September 26, (7:45 till 8:45pm) Word Mine is hosting ‘So you Want to Write for Kids.’ This months’ panellists include accomplished authors/illustrators Sally Rippin, Martine Murray and Simmone Howell. They’ll be discussing their own work and answering questions about writing for children and young adults. Word Mine meets at the Anglican Church Hall, Cnr Kennedy and Forest streets. Age 16+, entry $2, no booking required.

Grand Final Day

Bigger than Christmas IT’S THAT one day in September when you really don’t want to be invited to an all-expenses-paid wedding on a beach in Tahiti. That glorious day that really should be declared a public holiday, when everyone is united in footy (…and if you’re not – Tahiti’s looking good). Any pub worth its soggy bar towels will be playing the 2012 AFL Grand Final on a big screen, corner telly, or combo of both. Here is a list of Daylesford and Hepburn pubs that will definitely be screening the big game. BYO team colours, a few bucks for the sweep, and your cheering voice.

Daylesford Hotel: Burke Sq, Daylesford: 5348 2335.

Delicious by nature

In July, Delicious Magazine held the national Delicious Produce Awards. This region was well represented and came home with a few more awards to prop up our cook books. Daylesford’s own Alla Wolf-Tasker was a judge on the national panel and is hosting a celebration dinner at Lake House (King Street, Daylesford), Saturday, September 29, from 7pm.

As executive chef at Lake House, Alla will craft a menu using the finest produce from each of the categories judged at the awards, (Paddock, Dairy, Earth and Sea). Wines from Passing Clouds and Eastern Peake will be matched to the superb dishes created by her team. It all screams delicious to us!

Tickets to this delectable event are $125pp.

Take a hike

lost the guide to where to find it

Wombat style IT’S A JUNGLE out there… Well, not exactly… Around here it’s more like native bushland, (with less tigers, and more wombats). Daylesford is surrounded by forest, criss-crossed with walking tracks. Each Friday the Daylesford Bushwalking Group meets outside the Daylesford Neighbourhood Centre (13 Camp Street), and heads off to explore and hike through the wonderful bushland we have so close by. This friendly, active group invites all new participants to join in. Walks are generally three hours long, and vary in difficulty from easy to hard. If you’re feeling fit and ready for the challenge, pack a drink bottle and off you go! Remember to dress appropriately for the weather, (and being Spring, you’ll be layering your entire wardrobe, let’s face it).

For more info, grab a program of walks from DNC, or call George Killingback 5348 3280. Cost: free.

Daylesford’s St Mel

lost the guide to where to find it

Patron Saint of skateboard and lattes AS A DJ, St Mel knows how to mix up a blend of stuff and make it work. So when she opened a store incorporating bikes and beats, wearable art and canvasses, shoes, great coffee and cheese-toasties, of course, the mix totally works. St Mel’s mix of mighty good things at her new digs is impressive.

St Mel has her own band of followers from all over the place, and those in-the-know are passionate about all of the above stuff too, and travel from near and far to pay her a visit.

The new store/café/gallery/workshop faces the (a-hem) *glorious* Daylesford Coles car park, (technically, the address is 5 Park Lane – which is notably the second best property in Monopoly, but in St Mel’s case, Mayfair (next door) happens to be Bakers Delight).

Browse St Mel’s range of brand spankin’ new and brilliantly restored second-hand custom bikes. There are balance bikes for the wee tackers right through to serious road bikes for fans of lycra. If you’d prefer a coffee, a home made bickie (the Monte Carlos are out-of-this-world) and a bit of down time over the papers, well… take your time – there’s no rush at St Mel’s. Stay a while and peruse the homemade screen printed tees (made on the kitchen table – it’s all short run, unique stuff), and mad range of Vans, bike accessories, CDs from local bands, skateboards and completely delicious locally-made treats.

This month St Mel Cyclery and Café is spinning some wheels, spinning some tunes, and spinning the ladle in the pot and dishing up delicious hot bowls of soup. Get your bike serviced, a latte and something for your wall. And mix it up a bit. Onya St Mel! St Mel Cyclery and Café is open 9am till 5pm everyday except Tuesdays. For more info on what’s on the walls and in the windows, drop in, or call St Mel on 0412 274 301, or visit her online store at stmeldesign.com.

rural couture A colourful guide to the fabulously stylish and well designed life in Daylesford. BREATHE. RELAX. LAUGH. AND BREATHE AGAIN.

What’s Trending...Spa + Beauty Top 5 Spa Holiday trends of 2012 You’d think in such a precarious financial world that spa holidays would have fallen to the bottom of Must Have/Do lists. Quite the reverse actually.

Holidays are trending as one of the treasured treats of stressed and weary recession survivors. Sort of like their “I Will Survive” remedy to heal past ills and lessen future pains.

Country Massage in Vogue I arrived at Leggatt House. The newest massage studio in town. Overlooking Daylesford Lake, Leggatt House was recently purchased by lifestyle enthusiast, artist and professional builder, Karen Waugh-Raphael. In the middle of restoring this historic country Manor, Karen has turned the front of house into a therapeutic Massage Studio.

Daylesford “Makeover Me”…Spa Hopping to fabulous!

I floated out the door, waving goodbye to Andrea, Angela and Lisa, with promises of “I’ll write” and a handbag full with DayDay’s own miracle concoctions of body butter and moisturisers. Also some Jurlique Lavender shampoo and conditioner…they’re a wee summer holiday in Provence for your hair.
