"Black & White in the Blue Mountains" Presented by Jim Smith Saturday 6 March at 10.30am (morning tea at 10am) Wentworth Falls School of Arts, Great Western Highway, Wentworth Falls
Historian and ecologist Jim Smith has been travelling through and documenting the country of the Gundungurra speaking people of the southern Blue Mountains for over twenty years. Some of the topics covered in his presentation will include his mapping of Dreaming journeys, Aboriginal travel routes and significant landmarks. He will explain the web of biological and spiritual kinship that developed between the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people of the Burragorang Valley and how the memories of black and white people about their shared past have become entangled. The true spellings, meanings and locations of local Aboriginal place names and the healing practices of Gundungurra people will also be explored. Previously untold stories of Katoomba's 'Gully' Aboriginal community will be revealed.
The talk is free and no booking is required Further information contact: 4782 3751 or 4757 3824 (Tues & Fri am) or email bmhs@email.com ++++++++++++++++++++

As she casually says, "It's what I do." Indeed, it is what SNEZ does. And, her accolades and awards over the last few years are proof that the gypsy soul does what she does well. Very well. With her first studio album, Gypsy Soul released through Regal Records and MGM last year in November, SNEZ embarks on her East Coast Tour of Australia throughout February, March and April. "This is a collection of some of my most vulnerable songs" SNEZ admits ... it felt as scary as it felt wonderful..." The open honesty of such tracks as "Life is so Good" and "Daddy", a painful heart wrenching love song to her dad, featuring Snez's raw delicate vocals over piano and cello. Snez is heading down the mountains and kick starting her 'Gypsy Soul' tour with a Sydney show at the Mars Hill Café in Parramatta. Check out www.myspace.com/snezmusic for her tour schedule.
