Bowral Beekeeping with Hamish Ta-mé
- September 8, FaceTime
Spring has officially sprung in the Highlands, which is the perfect time to introduce bees into your garden. Bowral beekeeper Hamish Ta-mé can show you how to make your space bee-friendly, and different hives you can install at home. He offers weekly FaceTime sessions and will walk you through the process.
You can book a FaceTime session with Hamish by emailing hamish@bowralbeekeeping.com.
Build your own village full of tiny houses
- Every Thursday in September, Zoom, 6pm - 7:30pm
You can create a village full of tiny ceramic houses with Elph Ceramics from home. The business will send you the tools and materials for the job! Do not worry - you will get air-dry clay, so you won't need a kiln.
Bookings for each class are finalised five days prior, so kits can be sent out in time.
Railway Street Farmers Market
- September 9, Corners of Railway Street and Spring Street, Moss Vale, 3pm - 5:30pm
Grab some seasonal produce harvested by local growers this week. Highlanders also have the opportunity to meet the growers at the market.
Attendees must check-in with the QR codes upon arrival and wear masks.
Viva La Truffle

Enjoy the many aromas of truffles from home with the Truffle Showcase box. Renowned TV chef Fast Ed will walk you through the recipes for a three-course meal. A shopping list for all of the recipes will be included in the box, even for a truffle dessert.
Exhibitions at the SHAC
- Until September 13, online
You can view three unique exhibitions at the SHAC in Robertson from home! Have a look at Alexandra Taylor's vibrant Burnt Orange showcase, immerse yourself in Julianne Ross Allcorn's art full of Australian flora and how artists at the SHAC explore the concept of 'self'.
Exhibition: Landscape with Rock
- Daily until September 19, online (Sturt Gallery)
Landscape with Rock encompasses 30 drawings, prints and ceramic plates by Tony Ameneiro, who was influenced by Australian landscape painter Fred Williams' visit to The Crags - a property in the Nattai Valley in 1957.
