Seniors Moments

How long is it since you've played 'doogs'. Do you remember 'Mother made a chocolate cake. How many eggs did she break? 1,2,3 ...'

Relive those times with our Try A Sport activities on Saturday 19th March from 10am to 3pm at Adventureland Park. In keeping with our retro flavour Hills Hoist logo we're bringing back the old fashioned games such as marbles, skippy, hop scotch, elastics, bocce and croquet. We'll even supply kneeling pads for those creaky knees so dig out your stripey's, aggies and tom bowlers if you still have them or use ours on the day. Bring the grand kids and show them what life was like before Playstation and Xbox.

Get a team together for the egg and spoon and three legged races, visit the exhibitors marquee's, have some quiet time in the book zone.

There will also be a bike maintenance marquee with help and advice available on restoring that old treddly you have had at the back of the shed for years.

Old Rock and Rollers just keep on dancing!

Workshops for old and new Rock and Rollers at the CWA Hall on Saturday 19th March from 1:30pm to 3pm for beginners ($10), intermediate 3:30pm to 5pm ($15 both sessions)

Want to enjoy some free music and entertainment

Hang around in Post Office Square on Friday 18th March from 1pm  and Saturday 19th March from 9am to hear choirs, poets and bands and watch street theatre.

For the first time we're taking the Festival to many of the senior's in town who can't get around!

Book Readings

We will be doing readings from books such as 'A Fortunate Life', 'The Shiralee' and other Australian classics, at the Nursing Home and Hostel in the lead up to the Festival, as well as a poetry morning for residents. The staff and residents at the Aged Care facility are looking forward to these activities.
