CWA of NSW — ADAMINABY BRANCH


This our third quilt show - we are changing and hopefully getting better every year.

We want everyone to enter - looking at other people's quilts and how they put colours together is a terrific learning experience for all of us.

Lyns First Strip Quilt Getting workshops and stalls has been difficult for us as there seems to be lots on this long weekend but we will be having some this year.  As these are booked we will put the information on the website

Unfortunately we cannot guarantee what the weather will do - the first year the weather was wonderful, last year it was cold and miserable but we never complain when it rains.  Hopefully this year the weather will be good.

Adaminaby is the first town that was moved to make way for the Snowy Hydro Scheme and the buildings can be viewed.including the old bank which will be open for viewing and was the first two storey building moved on a truck.  Leigh Stewart has a marvellous gallery of photos relating to the early days.  Kiandra is just up the road and it is where snow skiing started in Australia as well as being an old goldfield where people still pan today.

 There is, of course, trout fishing - fly, bank and boating.  The rivers are opened that weekend and the trout are fat and hungry.   We can arrange fly fishing lessons if we have enough notice.
