Taiko Drums in the Caves

Our mate Charles, who is a guide at Jenolan Caves, has organised  an  astounding new sound event at the Caves on November 3rd.  It really sounds like a fabulous concert with 8 Taiko drummers, Asian gongs, Sumatran flutes, vocals and fast paced island log drumming.  As we are just a short 45min drive from the Caves we are hoping to attend this spectacular event. If anyone is interested in attending, all the details are located at http://www.jenolancaves.org.au/  

Unveiling of painting

John Keily (above, right), one of the owner/managers of Cedar Lodge Cabins, is also an artist. After working on landscapes for some years, he has now branched out into portraiture. Here is our friend, Mark, with the portrait he commissioned from John.

Spring has arrived!

Spring has well and truly arrived, making the Blue Mountains more beautiful than ever.  The apple tree at the back of our house provides a lovely backdrop for one of the many King Parrots that visit us daily. Alas, we seldom get any of the apples as the birds beat us to them!

Australian Ice Hockey League Grand Final

Being keen ice skaters, we attended the exciting Australian Ice Hockey League Grand Final at Penrith Ice Palace on Sunday afternoon.  The Grand Final was between Sydney Bears & Newcastle Northstars.  The Bears won 3>2 with a golden goal after a 2-2 draw at full time.
