Please join in for a very special and sugarplum-sweet afternoon of music that raises funds for the ecosystems of the Victoria's precious Otway Ranges.

They've planned a sublime late-Autumn Sunday afternoon for you that is almost as good as Otways bird song or summer rains filling water tanks. Featuring Irish-laced folk and acoustic bliss by songwriter Enda Kenny, vintage soul and old-fashioned continental sophistication and swing by Amie Brûlée & Her Jazz Trio, and retro-style rockabilly/honkytonk by Rhiz & The Sugarplums this musical afternoon has something for everyone to enjoy.

This is a benefit concert for the Conservation Ecology Centre, an independent non-profit conservation and applied research organisation who've been working hard for Australian wildlife and landscapes for 25 years. Ticket sales contribute to musicians' costs, venue hire, and also this very worthy conservation organisation.

Running time: 3.5 hrs, including 3 performance sets and 2 intervals.

Alcoholic beverages available at bar prices.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
