COOLART HISTORIC HOMESTEAD - On 15th April, many members enjoyed a wonderful guided tour of the historic Coolart Homestead in Somers, organised by our great garden group. Too many members for one photo! The weather stayed fine and we were treated to talks on the history of the homestead and the efforts being made to refurbish it to its original glory. See coolart.org.au to find out more about what 'Friends of Coolart' are doing.
We walked through the amazing gardens growing food for the community. as shown in the February edition of Gardening Australia - you can check it on iView.

RYE COMMUNITY FESTIVAL - ABOVE AND LEFT - Many thanks to our volunteers, Marion, Bev, Elaine, Suzanne and Tina for their help promoting our club at the Rye Community Festival on 2nd May. It was great to be part of the community table with the Rye Community House and the Rosebud Hospital.

What wonderful knitting Barb. This little jacket was finished from a 1942 pattern in the Women's Weekly - a 16 row pattern. Such an amazing skill. Elaine found the jacket half finished, followed up with the magazine to find the old pattern and then Barb Cliffe did the rest!
