BUS TRIP

​SAUNTER THROUGH SAMFORD VILLAGE

​

Travel by Coach to Samford Village where you will have 3 hours to saunter through the village.

First stop, why not visit The Slab Hut, where you will find a wide range of handmade craft and art works for you to admire. Some of the artisans who have hand crafted these works are on hand daily. A great place to pick up a gift of even treat yourself to something nice.  

Then saunter on through the John Scott Park to the Samford Museum, it showcases a large variety of objects, displays and stories from the district's past. There is so much to see. After the old, something newer – the Store of Requirement!! Harry Potter lovers will be entranced by this place, with Australia's largest range of officially licensed Harry Potter merchandise. You can even have a Butterscotch Brew.

If lunch is knocking at the door, why not try the Flying Nun Cafe, not far from the Store of Requirement, or if you are feeling fit, there are many other choices along Main Street. Check out Collies & Co.....a cafe catering for diners and their four legged friends or simply have a homemade picnic in the park.

ERIC & MARION TAYLOR GALLERY/TICKETED


​Spanning 500 years, "European Masterpieces" from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, offers a breath-taking journey from the 1420s and emerging Renaissance to conclude at the height of early twentieth century post-impressionism. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity also allows visitors to experience works by painters such as Rembrandt, Rubens, Turner, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne and Monet, direct from the Met's collection – one of the finest collections of European painting in the world, the majority of which rarely leave permanent display in New York.

Highlights of the exhibition include Fra Angelico's finely painted altarpiece The Crucifixion c. 1420-23; Titian’s poetic Venus and Adonis of the 1550s; the immediacy and drama of Caravaggio's The Musicians 1597; Rembrandt’s painterly Flora of c 1654; Vermeer’s beautifully observed Allegory of the Catholic Faith c 1670-72, and van Gogh's idyllic The Flowering Orchard 1888.
