But don’t panic, there are plenty more eating and drinking activations and events on offer in the early part of April.įirst up, you can give The Big Spaghetti a twirl at MFWF, which has become one of the country’s coolest food festivals.

The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival kicked off in March and we’ve been drooling over photos of food and wine ever since. The King isn’t just coming to Bendigo Art Gallery for the Elvis: Direct From Graceland exhibition this month, he’s taking over the whole city and surrounds. Save time in your schedule for the Parkes Elvis Festival Street Parade and Renewal of Vows. This year’s feature artist, and reigning Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist, Taylor Rodriguez will headline at four high-energy concerts at Parkes Leagues Club, from April 21 to 24, recreating the hip-swivelling performances that helped carve out Elvis’s spot as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. It’s still a great place to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, tap your toes to pleasing Elvis cover bands, and shake, rattle and roll between some 200 different events across five fun-filled days. But suffice to say that this year’s event was pushed back to April for reasons beyond the organisers’ control. We won’t mention why it didn’t go ahead as we’re all frankly sick of the C word. The Parkes Elvis Festival, now in its 29th year usually coincides with Elvis Presley’s birthday in January. Projects at The Art Gallery of New South Wales will be around caring for Country. Don’t miss Leanne Tobin’s participatory weaving wall, Ngalawan and a panel discussion led by Dharug knowledge holders at rīvus at A.C.E.

The 23rd Biennale of Sydney will present artworks, experiments, and activisms that flow around a series of imagined ecosystems and conceptual wetlands situated along waterways of the Gadigal, Burramatagal, and Cabrogal peoples. The 23rd Biennale of Sydney, titled, rīvus, is dedicated to Australia’s rivers, wetlands and other salt and freshwater ecosystems and invites these aqueous beings into a dialogue with architects, designers, scientists and communities to ask unlikely and confronting questions.īy considering the water’s ecological perspective, and asking audiences to look at rivers with respect, like our Indigenous brothers and sisters do, rīvus will advocate for sustainability as an action, not a theme.

“Very excited to get out on the road and share this new record and live show that I’ve been working on. The break accelerated a return to the solo mode of creation that first led the barefoot multi-instrumentalist on his phenomenal journey. The wide-open space he'd found himself in - the great COVID silence - was both beyond his control and curiously in-sync. It felt like a wind of change, literally, in so many ways." "We were on a trip north to the Cape and the wind was blowing too hard to take the tinnie out to the island… As I contemplated everything in my life and what was happening in the world there was literally a strong southeaster blowing, all the time. "It hit me last year when I started to write Stoney Creek," the Australian roots journeyman says of the album's first, exhilarating single: a rolling acoustic balm of a song that finds refuge in the simple blessings of rest, companionship and belonging in a world gone crazy. It’s a recurring image that speaks of wide-open space and the awesome natural elements that shape it: a force far greater than us, but ours to harness if we take the time to learn, reflect and respect its ways. The wind blows strong though Xavier Rudd's tenth album.
