From the Editors<br />

Dear readers and contributors, we hope you like our new<br />

magazine layout and website. This edition will be the last<br />

printed copy for 2018 as we begin our transition to a web - only<br />

format. From October this year, you will be able to read our<br />

publication online. Our site will provide you with information<br />

about the Southern Highlands in a newer and smarter way. Do<br />

keep an eye out for another printed version early in 2019.<br />

Go to www.<strong>your</strong><strong>guide</strong><strong>southern</strong><strong>highlands</strong>.com.au for the<br />

latest news on, markets, festivals, fairs and events and be sure to<br />

bookmark it so you can access it wherever you go.<br />

Meanwhile, over the coming months, there will be an event<br />

or festival to interest visitors and locals alike in this beautiful<br />

region.<br />

Camden will host the annual Antique Fair in August. The fair<br />

will have up to thirty dealers from NSW and interstate who will<br />

bring top quality furniture, jewellery, porcelain, artefacts, linen<br />

and lace, and collectable items to sell at the fair.<br />

During September you can look forward to more events when<br />

Camden will hold its annual, two-week festival of family fun<br />

and entertainment and Bowral will host the annual Home and<br />

Garden Show; all you fancy for <strong>your</strong> home and garden in the<br />

one venue.<br />

Bundanoon will hold its annual Garden Ramble with markets,<br />

open gardens and displays to enjoy, and in the midst of the<br />

Spring festival season, Robertson will host its Open Garden<br />

event in October. Be sure not to miss the annual Warragamba<br />

DamFest set in the beautiful Wollondilly region also in October.<br />

If theatre and classical music tickle <strong>your</strong> fancy then mark <strong>your</strong><br />

calendar for the HTG presentation of the Sound of Music in<br />

November and the SHSO Concert Series in September, in<br />

Bowral.<br />

Lastly, if you have an interest in antiques, be sure to attend the<br />

annual Antique Fair in Robertson in November, when Sydney<br />

and regional dealers provide a stunning display of antique<br />

jewellery, silverware, glass, linen and furniture for sale.<br />

ENJOY!!<br />

exhibitions! July’s Artist of the Month, Peter<br />

Collins - Wood Work & Scuplting Artist, will<br />

display examples of his beautifully crafted<br />

pieces made from a large range of different<br />

woods. Peter’s exhibition simply entitled<br />

“WOOD” will include items such as brooches<br />

and mirrors and will open at 2.00p.m. Sunday<br />

In August the Gallery will feature another<br />

talented member, Cathy Hutton, in her<br />

exhibition titled “BOTTONI RINNOVATI -<br />

Vintage Italian Button Creativity” The buttons<br />

Cathy discovers in Italy are far too unusual to<br />

stay hidden in nonna’s button box or on the<br />

dusty shelves of a forgotten village button<br />

shop. Cathy rescues them from oblivion and<br />

fashions them into stunning one-off decorative<br />

pieces including brooches and necklaces.<br />

Cathy’s exhibition, opening officially at 3.00p.m.<br />

10th Antiques & Collectables<br />

Fair, Robertson 17 & 18 November<br />

The 17th and 18th November 2018 will again<br />

see the School of Arts Hall at Robertson<br />

transformed into an impressive showcase<br />

of antiques when dealers from all around<br />

the country combine for the Tenth Annual<br />

Robertson Antiques and Collectables Fair.<br />

Traditionally, the aim of a fair is to cater for<br />

all tastes and incomes, from the smallest<br />

thimble to a grand Victorian chest. Prices are<br />

competitive and the range of items for sale<br />

is enormous, enabling customers to view<br />

many different dealers all together under one<br />

roof, instead of travelling to many different<br />

establishments.<br />

Georgian and Victorian jewellery, English and<br />

European porcelain, silver, glass, linen, lamps,<br />

collectables and furniture, both rustic and<br />

traditional will be displayed with great care and<br />

pride, the dealers themselves endeavouring to<br />

supply as much information as possible to help<br />

the collector.<br />

The Robertson Antiques Fair will be a bonanza<br />

for the village with a great number of tourists<br />

visiting the fair and also visiting many local<br />

attractions such as our three local waterfalls,<br />

the Illawarra Fly treetop walk, the Robertson<br />

Heritage Railway Station Gallery , the Village<br />

Woodworks that also incorporates the<br />

Robertson Guild art and craft display and the<br />

Old Cheese Factory Complex.<br />

After <strong>your</strong> visit to the Antiques Fair there is still<br />

plenty to do in the village such as browsing<br />

through the many shops selling antiques, arts<br />

and crafts, paintings, books, foodstuffs and local<br />

produce. Also why not visit one of the many<br />

cafes for morning / afternoon tea or lunch.<br />

Events like the fair are important to the School<br />

of Arts Committee who rely on income from<br />

these functions to maintain the hall. During<br />

the fair the ladies from the hall committee<br />

will be serving light lunches and morning/<br />

afternoon teas.<br />

The Robertson Antiques Fair will be open to<br />

the public from 9am until 5pm on Saturday<br />

17 November and from 10am until 4pm on<br />

Sunday 18 November. Admission is $8 for<br />

adults and includes a lucky door prize ticket.<br />

Accompanied children are free. There is plenty<br />

of parking nearby and wheelchair access into<br />

the hall.<br />

The Robertson School of Arts is situated on the<br />

Illawarra Highway at Robertson, right in the<br />

centre of the village.<br />

The Highland’s Theatre Group To Present<br />

The Musical, ’The Sound of Music’<br />

In November 2018<br />

After the enormous success of ‘Belfast Girls’<br />

in May, you would think that the Highlands<br />

Theatre Group might deserve a short break, but<br />

you’d be wrong.<br />

The particularly cold and windy day of<br />

Saturday, June<br />

16, did nothing<br />

to deter the<br />

carloads of<br />

potential<br />

Marias, Rolfs,<br />

Brigittas, nuns<br />

and various von<br />

Trapp children,<br />

arriving to<br />

audition for a<br />

role in the wellloved,<br />

family<br />

favourite, ‘The<br />

Sound of Music’.<br />

From 9:30am<br />

until late<br />

afternoon, the<br />

corridors and<br />

various rooms<br />

of THSPA, The Highlands School of Performing<br />

Arts, became the place where nervous<br />

anticipation, confidence and talent, either<br />

combined to bring elation or disappointment,<br />

as adults and children alike, performed in front<br />

of an open audition panel.<br />

For even the seasoned performers who arrived,<br />

some with guitars, others in various modes of<br />

costume, the audition process still proved an<br />

exciting, if not daunting challenge.<br />

On an open audition panel, there are no<br />

favourites, no forgone conclusions and all who<br />

wish to explore their talent are free to do so. For<br />

some, this day might just provide them with<br />

an opportunity to discover an entirely new<br />

pathway in life and to serve as a catalyst for an<br />

enduring love of Theatre.<br />

HTG always welcomes new and familiar faces<br />

on these days and June 16 proved to be no<br />

exception, particularly when it came to the<br />

wonderfully talented collection of children,<br />

ranging in age from five to eighteen who came<br />

prepared to sing<br />

and perform<br />

in front of the<br />

panel.<br />

To make the<br />

final casting<br />

decision<br />

among such a<br />

talented and<br />

diverse group<br />

is no easy task.<br />

Knowing that<br />

some will walk<br />

away feeling the<br />

disappointment<br />

of not being<br />

given a role,<br />

is not easy for<br />

the decision<br />

makers either,<br />

but hopefully whatever the outcome, all will<br />

have felt inspired and proud of their efforts on<br />

the day.<br />

Rehearsals are well underway and with a<br />

double cast of von Trapp children, an entire<br />

convent of nuns, in addition to the main<br />

characters, the Director, Barbara Handley will<br />

undoubtedly bring her wealth of knowledge<br />

and experience to the staging of this much<br />

loved production.<br />

‘The Sound of Music’ will open in November at<br />

the Mittagong Play House. Further information<br />

will soon be available on the HTG website at:<br />

htg.org.au<br />

Bundanoon Garden Ramble 27 & 28 October<br />

The Bundanoon Village opens up again to<br />

showcase eight lovely private gardens on the<br />

Weekend of 27 & 28 October 2018.<br />

The gardens offer something for all tastes,<br />

combining large open spaces, cool climate,<br />

formal, mixed with hidden room and paths,<br />

water views, stunning cottage, productive and<br />

native.<br />

This year, four new gardens will delight the<br />

visitor whilst the other four gardens, although<br />

being open three plus years ago, have<br />

undergone changes so as to draw viewers in<br />

for a second look!<br />

An added bonus this year, at several of the<br />

gardens, are market stalls offering sculptures,<br />

ceramics, exotic and native trees and plants.<br />

The Soldiers’ Memorial Hall in the middle of<br />

the village, also has an array of garden and gift<br />

stalls offering delights for sale so is definitely<br />

worth a wander after purchasing <strong>your</strong> ticket.<br />

Tickets are again $20 for all eight gardens or<br />

$5 for a single garden and are valid for both<br />

days. A colour brochure containing all garden<br />

descriptions and maps will be given out with<br />

the tickets.<br />

Shuttle Buses offer a more relaxed transport<br />

mode to/from gardens. These will be leaving<br />

every 15 minutes from the village to ensure<br />

visitors are catered for in a timely manner.<br />

Refreshments are on offer at one of the<br />

gardens whilst Bundanoon village shops are<br />

renowned for their great coffee, delicious food<br />

and hospitality.<br />

We look forward to seeing you!<br />

The Historic Village of<br />

Berrima<br />

Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping<br />

experiences in a living history environment. The village was established in the 1830s and is widely<br />

recognised today as the best preserved example of a Georgian village on the Australian mainland.<br />

By the 1960s, the preservation of old Georgian buildings became of national importance to our heritage,<br />

so the entire village of Berrima was declared a historic village by the National Trust.<br />

The Courthouse Museum, the Berrima District Museum and Berrima Gaol are buildings on the 'must see'<br />

list for every visitor.<br />
