Hi, Sue, Yes, I have been to Hyden in Western Australia - in 2007 when the Australian Lace Guild had their annual AGM week of classes. It was the year Catherine Barley came to Australia, and I went over to Perth, for the workshop she was teaching there. (Melbourne is the other side of the country - some 2000 km away!) A fantastic week, and then - "the icing on the cake" - there was a trip - for those who wished,- to the Lace Place at Hyden, and the Wave rock, - an amazing rock formation just like a Huge wave - which, of course, I, like many others, just had to climb, and see the view from the top! We were treated to a special hands-on collection of lace and talk by Rosemary Shepherd, who accompanied the group, so it was a very special viewing of the displayed lace, and we were able to handle - with white gloves, of course, - some extra lace that was brought out especially for us lacemakers.
An Unforgettable trip. It was quite a way from Perth, but a pleasant bus trip. We stayed overnight in 3 cottages, making do on camp beds and settees, etc when there were not enough 'proper' beds to go around - all great fun! http://www.waverock.com.au/lace.htm Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz. where we have a warm sunny day - at last! - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
