Injune Arts 2. Injune Races Winter is the season for arts in the Injune area with plenty going on and plenty being planned. A Create and Thrive workshop was held on June 7, a three day photography workshop with Louise Gronold was held from June 14-16 and a colourful exhibition by Susie Klein opened at the Injune Creek Gallery on June 15 (supported by QAS and Uniting Care who were raising awareness of domestic violence). The second half of the year is also looking busy with the annual Creative Odyssey to be held from August 17-18, a pencil portrait workshop with Maxine Thompson from September 7-9 and the year will culminate in the Santos Injune Art Show to open on November 15 in conjunction with a Christmas Makers Market. Contact Debbie Duff 0447 125 115 from Injune Arts for further information on any of these events. Further up the highway the Wallaroo Art Group (contact Sally West 4626 7159) will be holding a Lampshade and Upholstery workshop at Wallaroo Bush Retreat from September 7 – 8. Weather plays a big part in outdoor events and the big dry caused the cancellation of the Injune Campdraft earlier in the year but, ironically, it was rain that caused the cancellation of local races at the Santos Injune Race Day. Undeterred by the wet and cold conditions (and lack of real horses), about 200 people still frocked up to enjoy an afternoon of phantom racing and betting on metropolitan races with the attendant bookmakers. 1. 1.
