HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK

- THE FINAL SETTLERS NIGHT BUSH DANCE

The monthly Settlers Night Australian music and dance session has spawned a new organisation, and inspired the starting of a new music and dance group in the Monaro Folk Society. It has achieved its goal of a resurgence of interest in our Australian traditions. Settlers Night Session & Bush Dance will be going out with a celebration of these achievements on Friday 7th August at the Polish White Eagle Club, Turner, from 6.30pm for musicians and 7.30 for dancers. Be there to remember the good times.
