Kangaroo Valley - South Coast NSW

The Rivoli
2022-03-26 20:00 - 21:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Kangaroo Valley Hall, 179 Moss Vale Rd, Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577, Australia
From the early 1930s to the late 1960s, the Rivoli Dance Palace in Parramatta was Western Sydney’s favourite dance hall. Demolished in 1973 to make way for an office development, now nothing remains of ‘The Riv’ except the stories of the people who danced there.
Featuring some of Australia’s best dancers and a stellar live band, Dance Makers Collective’s The Rivoli is an immersive dance hall meets dance theatre performance. Throughout this work, you’ll hear the voices of people who danced at The Rivoli, as well as the voices of those who dance now, in this town. Your town.
A hit at Sydney Festival 2020, this joyous production invites you and your favourite dance partner to be swept into a mesmerising exploration of mid-century nightlife, desire and social connection.

There are some places in the wilderness where nature over delivers and gliding downstream on the Kangaroo River from Beehive Point to the mouth of Yarrunga Creek with the backdrop of the Morton National Park in Kangaroo Valley, is one such place. It’s the MUST DO wildlife experience in NSW with its eerily beautiful backdrop of a convict-built sandstone road, winding uphill and linking the rainforest with our colonial past. Home to the majestic azure kingfisher, wedge-tail eagle, diamond python, rock wallaby, white-breasted sea eagle, water dragon and more, this is nature at its best, untouched and wild. On the drive down through the rainforest it is usual to see kangaroos, wombats and echidnas.
So, take a seat in one of our custom-built double-canoe rigs and immerse your senses in the sheer beauty of this stunning waterway. Indulge your taste buds with fresh local canapés and a local award-winning cool climate wine and discover what is unapologetically nature’s heaven.

Gangurang Corroboree Kangaroo Valley

An introduction to who we are at Gadhungal Murring and what we aim to be. Gadhungal Murring is a local indigenous owned business. We specialise in delivering cultural services, focusing on revitalising and sharing Ancient Australian Culture to ensure a thriving Country and a flourishing Community.
We see this corroboree as a space to come together with the Kangaroo Valley community and build a connection. Being able to share our stories with the next generation is important to us, but first we must all come together. Our hope is that this event is the first step in a long relationship.
A corroboree is a way we give back to mother earth. It’s an ancient cultural practice that has been passed down through generations and continues to be passed down to this very day. We share story through dance and talk, we explain each dance and what they mean, we share ancient stories of the creation of our native animals and pay our respects to the lessons they hold.
Gangurang is a beautiful place which holds a powerful story. Story telling is a traditional practice in our culture. Our old people have been sharing story since the beginning of time. We honour our history and our ancestors by passing on their stories, making sure they live on forever in everything we do.
We ask you to join us in on our journey and walk beside us as we learn and care for Country together.

Thankyou to Winderong Farm for working with us and giving us a place to hold this corroboree. Gadhungal Murring is working alongside Winderong, looking at ways we can work together to teach a sustainable way of being. This corroboree is one of many beautiful things in motion.
Nadtha Yindi (see you soon, see you later, see you for who you are and the story you hold with love respect and appreciation)

Valley Cheese Makers Workshops
2021-10-31 09:00 - 15:30, 2021-10-30 09:00 - 15:30, 2021-08-29 09:00 - 15:30, 2021-08-28 09:00 - 15:30, 2021-07-10 09:00 - 15:30, 2021-07-09 09:00 - 15:30 | Kangaroo Valley, NSW, 2577, Australia
Valley Cheesemakers are passionate about cheese. We’re inspired to share our knowledge with others who are keen to learn about cheesemaking too and we love to engage with participants at our Workshops. Learn more about the workshops we offer and how to book your place.
Classic Cheesemaking
The Classic Cheesemaking Workshop introduces cheesemaking skills by making delicious everyday cheeses including Feta, Haloumi, and Ricotta. There will also be discussions and tastings of Yoghurt, Labneh, Quark, Mascarpone, and Sour Cream.
Soft White Cheeses
Soft white cheeses are popular and this Workshop will provide the opportunity for you to make cheeses including Brie and Camembert, either to enjoy yourself or to give as a gift.
Blue Cheeses
Blue Cheeses come in a range of forms, from a creamy blue to Roquefort-style or Stilton-style. This Workshop will demystify the process of creating some of these very appealing cheeses.
Firm Cheeses
Some cheeses, like cheddar, are often known as “hard” cheeses but that does not mean they are difficult to make, simply that they need time to mature and become firm. This Workshop will look at a variety of cheeses and discuss whether they are, in fact, hard, firm, or mature, along with learning about how to preserve cheeses through waxing. We include semi-hard cheeses in this Workshop as the maturing time is shorter so the cheese can be eaten sooner. The cheeses made in this Workshop include Havarti, Smoked Caerphilly, and Red Leicester-style – all of these cheeses can be made in the home kitchen with little effort.
most commonly asked question is “can we take our cheeses home?”. The answer is “yes”! The cheeses you make in your group are yours to take home, nurture, and enjoy (sharing optional).
Timing: workshops generally run from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.
Please note that induction cooktops are used in the workshops. If this will cause health issues for you, or if you have a pacemaker, please let us know.
