Save the date!

One of the biggest school fetes in Macarthur is coming so mark the date in your diary now. With loads of stall, rides, and Wakeling Automotive once again donating a car for you to have a chance at winning simply just by turning up to the school fete!

The White Elephant stall is a popular place to grab a bargain so get there early, have fun all day and hang around to hear the winner of the car announced at the end. There will be plenty of food and fun available at the school fete to keep you and your family busy all day.

Gledswood Homestead

A few weekends ago (thankfully not the weekend of the downpour/flood!) I was fortunate to attend a wedding at Gledswood Homestead. Despite having lived in the area for almost two decades, this was my first visit to the historic homestead and winery. The wedding was held in one of three reception rooms. It was a lovely informal occasion. In addition to being a popular venue for wedding, Gledswood also hosts ghost tours and business events. They also source a range of wines from wine regions across Australia to sell at the Cellar Door, a convict built sandstone building. Unfortunately I didn't take time to fully explore this beautiful part of Macarthur's history but looking at their 'What's On' page there will be plenty of opportunity to do so in the future.

Gledswood hold a Family Farm Day once a month (second Sunday) and I think it sounds like an ideal winter outing. For more information about what's involved, here's a great video:



Gledswood Homestead is easily accessed off Camden Valley Way. For more information about coming events at Gledswood, check out their 'What's On' page.
