John the Potter Concert Sunday 26th January 2025 Out of Abingdon plus solo acts Robyn Martin and Ben Fowlerd
Dear Patrons, We are pleased to advise an afternoon of fabulous Australian music set in the natural native beauty of John's pottery studio grounds in Bingie on the Far South Coast of NSW. We are thrilled to have the accomplished Out of Abingdon from Brisbane. Out of Abingdon create soulful, acoustic, lounge music.Warwick Hargreaves and Tina Fullerton’s stripped back guitar, double bass and vocal blend is a grooving, soothing, sonic elixir in amongst a bustling soundscape. Robyn Martin With a sound that is distinctly Australian, her music traverses a wide terrain from deep pocket soul, mixed with heart warming, thought provoking folk sensibilities, to the occasional banjo driven hoedown singalong and a sprinkle of grungy angst rock. Ben Fowler fuses pacific flavours with the raw sounds of the Australian East Coast. His beautifully poignant lyrics and prowess for songwriting are unmistakable and mesmerising. Tickets Cost $35.00* To book click on or paste the link below. https://www.ticketebo.com.au/bingiepottery Please note this is an intimate al fresco affair!! Tickets are limited.

Sunday 10 NovemberAll Welcome Our 4th and final geology talk. Meet at car park opposite entrance to Murramarang Resort at 10.00am See 260 million-year-old sandstone at the base of the Sydney Basin, including “drop stones” from old glaciers, fossil worm casts, fossil shells, fascinating ironstone formations and a narrow dolerite dyke. Walk to Dark Beach to see where these rocks sit directly above the 500 million-year-old rocks that are part of the same sequence seen at Melville Point on Trip 1. This trip gives some idea of what might have been happening during the time between the formation of the 385 million-year-old Bingie Point rocks and the 30 million-year-old basalts at Congo.  Geology Trip 3 – Sunday 27 October: Congo Meet at eastern end Congo campground at 10.00am See see the youngest hard rocks in our area, 30 million-year-old basalts in the cliffs and rock platform showing weathering patterns & columnar jointing. This trip involves easy short walks at Congo & 2 short drives to the silcrete & sedimentary rock locations. All welcome   GEOLOGICAL EXCURSIONS
The rocks found along the coast from South Durras to south of Bermagui provide tantalising glimpses of the geological history of this part of the south coast of New South Wales. Come and join us on a series of four excursions to discover half a billion years of history in our region. We’ll be taking three trips to headlands between Tomakin and Bingie, followed by a fourth to South Durras. Notes for each site will be provided. You are welcome to come along to all or any of the trips.
Trip 1- Sunday 29 September: Melville Point (Tomakin) to Mullimburra Point visiting three sites, with short walks at each site Meet at the lower car park at Melville Point, Tomakin at 10.00am First see the oldest rocks in our area (approx. 500 million years old). Then self-drive to Shelly Beach to see approx. 460 million-year-old “turbidites” that were laid down directly above the rocks at Melville point. Finally drive to Mullimburra Point to see the “turbidites” intruded by 385 million-year-old granites. Trip 2 – Sunday 13 October: Bingie Point Meet at Bingie Point car park at 10.00am Track can be narrow and uneven with tree roots and goes across rocks, unsuitable for those with walking difficulties See the relationship between two types of granitic rocks and younger fine-grained rocks that have intruded them. Trip 3 – Sunday 27 October: Congo Meet at eastern end Congo camping ground at 10.00am See 30 million-year-old basalts in the cliffs and rock platform showing weathering patterns & columnar jointing. Trip 4 - Sunday 10 November: South Durras Meet at car park opposite entrance to Murramarang Resort at 10.00am See 260 million-year-old sandstone at the base of the Sydney Basin, including “drop stones” from old glaciers, fossil worm casts, fossil shells, fascinating ironstone formations and a narrow dolerite dyke.
