Bus trip: Our tour begins with a light lunch (at own cost) at Stringybark Cottage Winery Restaurant in the beautiful Chittering Valley. A short drive then brings us to historic Enderslea Farm (Circ 1853) where we will attend the play, 'Blackwood River Gliding By'. This play tells the story of Georgiana Molloy, a wife, mother and farmer living in the tiny settlement of Augusta on the Blackwood River. The frequent letters between her and her husband both reveal her lonely life and the fulfilment she finds in learning about the dozens of native plants she collects. Enderslea Farm, with its large stone barn built by ticket-of-leave men gives an evocative sense of place to this story. A ''farm fare'' afternoon tea is included, provided by the Bindoon and Bullsbrook Country Women''s Associations. Bindoon Estate Wine will provide free wine tastings. Book by 3 September
