Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and
community guide.
This week... the New Year's off to an active start, having shaken
off the confetti and put the Beroccas away. With the school
holidays now in full swing and the big guns of the festive season
back in their holsters, a whole swag of festivals lie on the
horizon to keep the kids and your good selves entertained. That's
the good news.
The more dubious news is that you'll have to brave a road-trip for
each and every one of the major festivals, but what are the school
holidays without a chorus of "Are we there yet?" (and lord how I
WISH that was truly a cliché) and the rushed, frantic cries you'll
hear with each time you pass those dreaded Golden Arches.
So, fair warning out of the way, if you're brave enough for a
tin-can's worth of holiday madness, there's the Portarlington
Mussel Festival, where you'll find a veritable smorgasbord of
seafood plucked fresh from the ocean. If you're a bigger fan of
strawberries, however, then make your way to Dromana where you'll
find just that at the Dromana Strawberry Festival of all things.
You'll also find some line dancing going on there apparently, which
seems to be doing the rounds at several festivals, the Red Hill
Country Music Festival included. I'll pay that one, what with the
country-twangy nature of that event, but what strawberries have to
do with line dancing is beyond me.
My guess is that, in accordance with many festival committees still
reeling from recent economic crunches, there's been a compromise of
sorts by having festival-goers like myself pick up the slack and
provide just that extra bit of entertainment by awkwardly partaking
in such activities. I say compromise because such a thing suits me
fine... the closest I'd have ever come to line dancing would be
waiting at a checkout with a full bladder, drawing rushed, frantic
cries as onlookers pass those other dreaded Golden Arches.
But at least I'm a clumsy step closer to that than Salsa, which was
previously all the rage.
Here are highlights from the latest newsletter.
