Last weekend we went out to the “Piano Fest Out West” at a station outside Bathurst.  It is a weekend of beautiful piano music held at an old farm outside Bathurst, now largely used for recreational purposes, I think, rather than farming.  It was owned at one stage by the Australian artist Olsen and his wife, an clearly is set up now for weekends such as this one.

The people who run the Sydney International Piano Competition also run this event.  They co-ordinated four piano-players to make the program work, at least one of whom is a past winner of their competition. 

They also make it attractive by offering gourmet food and wine as part of the package.

Obviously attractive to us.

The property could easily be in the Home Counties of England, though with considerably better weather!
