Heading back to Rylstone and there is a buzz in the air and the smell of side show alley. The annual Ag Show is on and we are perched up on 'The Hill' with a birds eye view overlooking a hive of activity. Horse events, dog jumping, pets on parade, a pavilion filled with arts, crafts and [...]

Rookwood Cemetery is Australia's oldest, largest and most multi-cultural cemetery, steeped in historical and cultural significance. The HIDDEN sculpture trail was developed as a way of promoting community engagement as well as a way of debunking the notion that cemeteries are dark, dingy, and intimidating. In fact, Rookwood is an absolutely fascinating place to visit [...]
