24.01.2022 July 17th, is a famous date in Blue Mountains snow history. In 2015, we had an excellent fall of 15cm to 20cm in Blackheath. Also, July 17th 1965, produced a fa...ntastic snowfall of around 40cm. Two wonderful snowfalls to celebrate on this day. However, both of those falls pale in comparison to the July 4th, 1900 snowfall, when around 90cm accumulated in Blackheath. These days, 10cm is a big fall! . Sadly, no snow for July 17th in 2020 and no snow in sight for the month of July, at this stage. Hold onto hope. Good falls could still occur in August, September and beyond. Although 90cm is highly unlikely. We'd gladly recieve a fall a tenth of that size. And check out that shop snow photo in Bathurst from 1900. That would be a huge fall on the Oberon Plateau these days.

21.01.2022 2020 FESTIVAL ANNOUNCEMENT We are delighted to announce that, while COVID-19 has forced the cancellation of many traditional Rhododendron Festival activities,... ’the show must go on’ and we have planned several COVID-safe events for the first weekend in November. We are planning a Rhodo Film Festival for Friday 6th, Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November. We’ll have both day and evening sessions all in Phillips Hall featuring a broad selection of films made in or around the Blue Mountains, including full-length features, short films and locally-made featurettes. A programme and ticketing information will be released shortly. To make this a truly community event, we invite you to submit any of your own locally-produced content for consideration to be screened as a featurette. Please forward any video you may have in digital format to [email protected]. In line with NSW Government COVID planning restrictions, audience numbers will be limited and currently capped at 90 people (as at 2 October). Also, on Saturday 7th November, we'll once again hold the popular Chalk Art Competition at the pool and guided walks of the historic Soldiers’ Memorial Park. Further information will be made available shortly and will be posted here and on our website: https://www.rhodofestival.com/news-and-events.html See you in November, Blackheath Rhododendron Festival Committee

19.01.2022 Have you bought your tickets yet for the Blue Mountains Edible Garden Trail this weekend here: https://www.ediblegardentrail.com/ After our difficult summer do... you need to be re-inspired to garden or do you need your passion for gardening ignited? Check out how gardens survived drought, fire and flood, and how Blue Mountains gardeners managed to keep providing food and habitat for wildlife as well as themselves. See what's worked and what hasn't and have a ball getting a sneak peak at 46 gardens from Lapstone to Hartley. We'll be holding Compost Lab Tours at Blackheath Community Farm at 11am each day and we'll be open rain, hail or shine.

17.01.2022 THE BIG THREE ~ BLUE MOUNTAINS WATERFALLS Time to come back, the water is lovely! I took these on my travels around some of the more petite falls in Hazelbrook,... Lawson, Katoomba and Wentworth Falls in the last couple of days - had many all to myself! These big drops have come to life in the past week and great to see, all with very accessible lookouts. My Waterfall workshops on my site and my gallery this weekend featuring many waterfall shots open 12-5pm both days (next to Mt Victoria's Pulpit Rock).

05.01.2022 Lookouts and reserves reopen in Blue Mountains Many Blue Mountains lookouts and reserves have been reopened today (14 January, 2020) now that conditions have im...proved and there is isolated and low bush fire activity in the area. The Erskine Creek, Linden Creek, Grose Valley and Ruined Castle fires are contained. NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) report that the majority of bush fire operations are now focused on aerial patrol with some limited ground operations continuing until late this week. Blue Mountains Mayor Mark Greenhill said: We do still have some reserve closures in place, for public safety, but I am happy to say that a large portion of the Blue Mountains is open for business. We need tourists to start visiting our area again. Visitors have stayed away over the traditionally busy Christmas New Year period, due to the threat of bush fires. But the immediate threat has now passed. All visitors to our City should still continue to follow the emergency service advisories, in case the situation changes in the coming weeks. Council has reopened reserves south of the Great Western Highway, from Katoomba through to Tablelands Road at Wentworth Falls. Council has also reopened reserves north of the Great Western Highway from Mount Victoria to Hawkesbury Heights. All Council sportsgrounds have also now reopened, except Warrimoo Oval that could still be used as a staging area. Access to this ground is restricted to the NSW RFS and Australian Defence Force only. Read the full Media Release: https://www.bmcc.nsw.gov.au//lookouts-and-reserves-reopen-

04.01.2022 Have you ever seen a roo fight? They may look cute and cuddly but kangaroos can pack a serious punch "Usually peaceful, both Burns Boy and this young buck ...needed to define boundaries and territory," Tan from Warrumbungle Wildlife Shelter, in NSW's Central West, said. "Kangaroos by nature are gentle animals. They sleep most of the day and forage for food at night. They care for their young and like all parents defend them fiercely if threatened," Tan said. Tan said to look out for the warning signs when around stressed kangaroos and his this advice for those who encounter a territorial male. Tense body Stands on toes Shakes head Loud clucking sounds or growl Intense stare Keep your distance Back off slowly Don't wave arms Don't speak "Be respectful of their wildness and dont invade their space. If you come across two males fighting, stay away!" Tan said. Warrumbungle Wildlife Shelter (via ABC Perth)

03.01.2022 Save the Wolgan River and the planet Have you ever written a submission ? In a mad defiance of all the evidence of negative effects of coal mining, Centennial ...Coal placed on public exhibition a revised plan for the Angus Place mine located along Wolgan Road on the way to Newnes. This plan covers an enormous area of 10,551ha and Centennial Coal is seeking a consent to mine coal until 2053. The Colong Foundation for Wilderness has outlined some impacts this plan will have: Five endangered swamps and the wonderful fields of boronia and other wildflowers in those swamps will be destroyed (TriStar, Twin Gully, Birds Rock, Crocodile and Trail 6 will be hydraulically impacted by the mine); Key populations of nationally listed animals - the blue mountains water skink and the giant dragonfly will also be lost due to the swamp damage; Water flows in the Wolgan River that pass through the World Heritage Area and over Wolgan Fall will be diminished, and Carne Creek will also lose its pristine flows (Carne Creek is a key feature of the One and Only Wolgan Resort, eroding its green cachet); The protected Birds Rock Flora Reserve shall be undermined, and this spectacular rock formation shall be fractured; Cliffs will collapse and pagoda rock formations cracked in the mining area; and Grandfathering the Angus Place mine is a transparent attempt to block social adaptation to climate change by locking in coal consumption. If you agree, please send your submission to the NSW planners and politicians on: https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/major-projects//12641 (This requires a user name and password, answering the required questions and then lodging your submission). If you prefer to use the Colong Foundation’s submission guide use this link: https://www.colongwilderness.org.au//amended-angus-place-m Submissions close on 28 April 2020. Thanks for your support Happy Easter
