Dear Tangueros


Wednesday night Practica this week at Mr Marys


Guess What - I will be our DJ this Wednesday. I’ve put together a playlist
that is reminiscent of The Melt Bar & Soho bar, with tandas of my favourite
traditional songs as well.  


Do hope to see you there.


MrMary’s is $5 or free or if members purchase dinner the practica is free.


 

 

Postcard from Bundanoon



The end of November might seem a long way off, but in fact it’s just over 6
weeks till Bundanoon is seized by tangomania. With this in mind, I took a
detour to Bundanoon on my way to Sydney on the long weekend. Turning off the
highway just past the Marulan truck stop, you follow the Highland Way
through lush forest, alongside cosy farm cottages, past Shangri La
(apparently!) and roll into town conveniently opposite the Bundanoon
Soldiers Memorial Hall, the scene of our big BASH milonga.

 

The Hall dominates the centre of town, and is literally a hop, skip & a jump
across from the railway line. The solid brick exterior of the Hall doesn’t
look too promising but inside, the hall still retains art deco touches with
‘lest we forget’ etched into a pastel rainbow of arches, and upturned shell
lights adorning the walls. The mirror disco ball appears to date from a
later era, as does the state-of-the-art sound system which was installed in
an overhead balcony in AD2007. The floor (an all important aspect to
dancers) is an unpolished wooden floor, with plenty of room for tables &
chairs surrounding a generous ronda.

 

Bundanoon itself is a mixture of quaint and trendy, and operates at an
incredibly relaxed pace (except when you find yourself crossing the railway
line as a train approaches). Allow yourself some time to check out the
nic-nac stores, the butchery that does a roaring trade in haggis and the
bookshop with the intriguing name of ‘The Two Brown Cats’ (who incidentally
were nowhere to be seen).

 

There’s also an excellent selection of cafés – and what visit to Bundanoon
would be complete without coffee & cake in Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe? While
you’re there, why not hire a bike, coast down the hill to Morton National
Park, check out the spectacular views over the Shoalhaven River, then slog
back up the hill in time for dusk to check out the glow worm glen.

 

Convinced? If so, then reserve your milonga ticket through Karen now!
Accommodation is also filling up fast, so check out the options in the BASH
accommodation brochure (available on our website) and put 24-25 November in
your diary for a memorable weekend.
