WODEN VALLEY FESTIVAL Oktoberfest 1 – 3 November Highland Gathering 12 October The Harmonie German Club’s OKTOBERFEST is Canberra’s annual celebration of German culture. Each year approximately 10,000 people attend this growing event which is believed to be one of the largest Oktoberfest celebrations held in Australia. In 2013, Oktoberfest Canberra will celebrate the German people and their culture and the immense contribution they have made to the life of our national capital. The Canberra community will once again embrace German culture through the traditional food, wine, schnapps, beer and music provided across this weekend of entertainment. For Oktoberfest 2013, the Harmonie German Club will also encourage German cultural dress, enhance the design and decoration of the event and acknowledge German design and engineering through displays of German vehicles. It will call out to its community to bring together a digital photographic history of the building of Canberra from a German perspective. Budawang Pavilion, Exhibition Park In Canberra www.harmonieclub.com.au This traditional Scottish Highland Gathering will include the ACT Pipe Band Championships and the Canberra Centenary Juvenile Pipe Band Championships. The day will feature all the traditional highland gathering events, including massed pipe bands, highland dancing displays, Scottish heavy events such as the caber toss and lifting of the stones, Scottish folk music, Clan tents, a multitude of stalls selling Scottish and related products, souvenirs and food, as well as a number of other displays and static events throughout the day. Entry will be free. In the evening, there will be a celebratory Scottish Ceilidh night with traditional dancing, singing, piping and drumming. The Scots heritage in Canberra started right back at its birth with Prime Minister Andrew Fisher, a Scot from Ayrshire, taking the original decision to create Canberra. There continues to be a thriving Scottish community in Canberra, as well as over 20 suburbs named after people of Scottish descent. This event is supported by the ACT Government Community Centenary Initiatives Fund.

The carnival has something for everyone, with a petting zoo, arts and crafts, skateboarding and BMX, live music, dance, sports and more. The daytime carnival is followed by LIFTOFF. LIFT OFF is a huge date on the youth music scene calendar. Bands, with all members under the age of 25 are in the running to win a stack of prizes to move their career forward. The winning band receives enough prizes to record, design, release and promote a CD, and all finalists get the opportunity to perform in front of a big audience at the LIFT OFF music festival held at Eddison Park. The LIFT OFF Festival is leading the way for new and upcoming local music. Part of the Woden Valley Festival, it is a drug and alcohol free event.

Red Centre Garden from November Visitors to the Australian National Botanic Gardens can experience its new Red Centre Garden showcasing the iconic significance of the continent's red centre as the physical and spiritual heart of Australia, right here in the nation's capital. The Red Centre Garden will inspire visitors' appreciation for Australia’s unique desert plants and landscapes. Visitors will experience a selection of plants from Central Australia’s iconic and dominant plant communities, including the mulga country, sand dunes and desert oak shrublands, ghost gums, spinifex grasslands and saltbush scrub. The Red Centre Garden will be a major new attraction for the Australian National Botanic Gardens and provide a range of educational, scientific, cultural and tourism opportunities. The Garden will inspire a ‘sense of place’, connecting people to some of the iconic landscapes of Central Australia: this is achieved by combining elements of the natural beauty of the red centre landscapes and aspects of contemporary landscape design. It is a deliberately simple approach to design, in which the use of landscape materials and plants tells a story of this country in a dramatic, inspirational and engaging way. Interpretation of the Garden will be suitable for a range of visitors, including student groups. A sculptured meeting place, based on an artwork by Indigenous artist Teresa (Purla) Pwerle, was designed as a centrepiece of the Red Centre Garden. The artwork will be on show at the Bush Capital Celebration on 2 and 3 November 2013. Australian National Botanic Gardens www.anbg.gov.au Image: Courtesy of Australian National Botanical Gardens. Bush Capital Celebration 2 – 3 November Scentenary Garden Spring Bush Capital Celebration is a two day program where Canberra can focus on the contribution of individuals, communities, governments and businesses that have helped to develop and maintain our Bush Capital environment. Central to the event are aspects of Australian Indigenous cultures, and their ancient connections to country and land. Events, talks, displays, performances and presentations on the themes of tradition, bush stories, people, food and music will feature during the open weekend. There will be a ticketed gala gathering presented as a modern take on the traditional 'dance in the bush', featuring a gourmet bush roast banquet dinner. This project is supported by the ACT Government Community Centenary Initiatives Fund. Australian National Botanic Gardens www.anbg.gov.au Increasingly around the world, there are examples of sensory rooms and gardens which provide physical, social and psychological benefits for mental health inpatients. Their quality of life is demonstrably improved through having the opportunity to experience the sounds, smells, textures and colours of a garden adorned with shrubs and flowers, buzzing with life alongside people in the garden. In spring 2013, one such sensory garden, the Scentenary Garden, will open for patients, visitors and carers at the Brian Hennessy Rehabilitation Centre, located on the Calvary Hospital Campus. It will be beautifully planted with fragrant herbs and plants, providing a variety of exquisite scents to be enjoyed. The construction of the garden will emerge from a community partnership between the ACT Government Health Directorate, architecture and design collective Canberra Lab, and the University of Canberra Faculty of Art and Design. In the first semester of 2013, second year Landscape Architecture students at the University of Canberra will undertake a ‘studio project’, in collaboration with Canberra Lab, for the design of the garden. The garden’s recreational and therapeutic ambitions, and the sunny open spaces of the site, will present opportunities for imaginative design responses from the students. At the end of their studio, the Health Directorate and Canberra Lab will choose a design to take through to construction. The opening date for the Scentenary Garden will be announced soon. brian hennessy rehabilitation centre, calvary hospital campus www.canberra100.com.au canberra100.com.au 97
