IT’S RAINING JEN! QUEENSLAND ICON JENNY WOODWARD DEBUTS HER ONE-WOMAN STAGE SHOW IN 2021
The long-range forecast is for fun, flashbacks and fashion when ABC’s revered weather presenter Jenny Woodward premieres her one-woman stage show at Charleville Town Hall on 29 April 2021.
Weathering Well is a potted history of the life and times of the popular presenter who chalks up 35 years with the national broadcaster in 2021.
Combining comedy, live music, video projections and a killer script with Jenny’s natural wit and charm, Weathering Well is an 80-minute autobiographical theatre experience with a high probability of intriguing anecdotes and behind-the-scenes revelations.
“I’m also going to talk about hairstyles and fashion and how they’ve changed over the years and I’ve got some fairly startling photos which I am going to share. There’s a lot of, “oh my God, what was I thinking?!” Jenny revealed.
“It won’t be all about me! Australia has some really interesting weather history and there’s one particular character I’m going to spend a bit of time on, Clement Wragge, who was one of the founders of weather forecasting in Australia.”
Bloomin’ Tulips pays homage to the many varieties of tulips that sprout to welcome spring. Crafts, art, souvenirs, cooking sessions, and floral varieties such as orchids and the famed tulip upon which the festival is built are all highlights of the Bloomin’ Tulips Festival. During the festival, music, food, and attractions bring thousands of people to Wynyard in the spirit of community and appreciation of nature.
The festival begins in September and carries forth for 3 weeks, to mid-October. The Bloomin’ Tulips main event is held on a Saturday in October at the Gutteridge Gardens, Goldie Street in Wynyard.
Wynyard is about a 20-minute drive from Burnie. Buses depart the Burnie/Wynyard Airport every 60 minutes for the 45-minute ride to Gutteridge Gardens. Public transportation is also available from Hobart (4 hours) or Launceston (just over 2 hours).
Entry to Bloomin’ Tulips main venue is free, but tickets for individual special events, food and drink are sold separately. Bring a blanket or chair and get ready to savor the springtime.
