Newsletter | #214 | What's On this Week Newsletter | #214 | What's On this Week

Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for Tuesday to Monday, February 8 to 14.

This week... the Sustainable Living Festival makes its return to Melbourne with an environmentally friendly bag of events that highlight concerns with global warming and climate change.

There's also the Berwick Highland Gathering offering a day of festivities, dancing and sports that's sure to put a swagger in your sporran, while in Hampton Park you can attend the Teutonia German-Australian Club's Summerfest Extravaganza, which makes very little mention of their own heritage with not so much as an oom to their pah in their program. They do, however, have a great range of activities for children along with market stalls, music and more.

There's a weekend of free outdoor screenings with Blak Nite Cinema showcasing Indigenous films in Treasury Gardens, and for Country lovers, there's the Whittlesea Country Music Festival. We also have what seems to be the last of events to ring in the Chinese New Year with the Glen Waverley Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival ending the recent hoopla surrounding the Year of the Rabbit. And quite timely this week, too... as far as I'm concerned the year hasn't even begun until Media Watch hits the screens again.

A new start to the year works for me also, so I can reset the count of how many bug assaults I've endured as I've encountered MANY while moving house still. According to the Chinese, I can now proudly say there's been but one this year when a bug jumped into my eye and before you could say, 'Oh for the love of God, No!!' I'd already closed my eyelids, enclosing the damn thing like a toddler that dives beneath the sheets when you're trying to make the bed. A fitting analogy too, as it took just as long to get the bugger out.

With Valentine's Day on the way also, be sure to check out our Gift Guide. And for those who are no longer in touch with their inner Amore, there's Go The Tan, where couples can take on Melbourne's famous tan track to at least get hot and sweaty and pretend that there's still that spark.

Trivia

White's In A Name?

Melburnian 'Mac' Robertson, regarded as the greatest entrepreneur and philanthropist in contemporary Australian History was the founder of confectionery company MacRobertson's, which gave us the tasty icons of the Cherry Ripe and Freddo Frog.

A philanthropist and flagrant self-promoter, Robertson funded Mawson's Antarctic expeditions and a series of international air races. There is even an area of Antarctica named after Melbourne's legendary confectionary wizard.

Sir Douglas Mawson named a part of the Antarctic Mac Robertson Land in honour of the great entrepreneur. It was a fitting landscape to pay tribute to the Melbourne icon, who wore white suits, painted his factories white, and even used white draught horses to pull his white carts.
