| Friday October 28th - Tuesday November 1st 2011 (Melbourne Cup Weekend) ......

CONCERTS, SESSIONS, SINGALONGS, DRAWING, PAINTING, ROAD BOWLS, FOOD, WINE, WINE OPTIONS GAMES, 'MUSIC THAT MOVES ME'
DISCUSSIONS & PRESENTATIONS,
VINEYARD WORKING BEES, READING,
LAZING AROUND .....

BRODERICK SMITH, PAUL WOOKEY,
MARTIN PEARSON, MATT WALKER,
PENNY LARKINS & CARL PANNUZZO,
CLIFF ELLERY & GUNTHER STOPA,
AND YOU if you bring an instrument and / or voice !
And this year there will be a special emphasis on the songs of Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, and our point of difference from other music festivals is that peformers are encouraged to sing covers, i.e. their favourite songs written by other people, rather than just their own songs.
AND MUCH OF IT IS FREE!
