Sunday 9th March – Music Event at Iron Ridge Quarry Sculpture Park, Amberley – 11am to 5pm – This sounds like a pleasant day out if the sun is shining and you haven’t checked out the sculpture park before. Enjoy live music ‘sort of country/rock/folk’ they described it as when I called to ask. There’s also local wine and beer on sale, two or three food stalls, a gourmet sausage sizzle and local art on display. Tickets $20 on the gate but if you’re feeling confident about the weather you can pre-buy them here and save yourself $4. Under 16s free.
