For almost two decades the Kendall National Violin Competition has forged a major opportunity for artistic development for young violinists in Australia. Past finalists and winners have embarked on impressive careers and the Competition is proud to have encouraged these talented artists on their way.

This 2-day yoga festival has it all: a great community spirit, a fantastic range of yoga classes, music events, health education, community activities and a Natural Health & Living Expo. We will be back at Francis Retreat, after falling in love with the beautiful grounds, gigantic gum trees and great yoga spaces in 2017. There will be additional session spaces, more presenters and a greater variety of classes yet again!

Join us at Francis Retreat, Bonny Hills on 15 & 16 September 2018 for a fantastic yoga experience.

Held the third Sunday of every month at Bruce Porter Reserve on the banks of the beautiful Camden Haven River at Laurieton, the Riverwalk Markets showcase local produce, gourmet foods, arts and craft, plants and bric-a-brac. Stall holders come from as far as Newcastle and the Hunter Valley such is the popularity of the markets. Pony rides and a jumping castle are regular features as well as live music.
