Bush bocce

If you’re looking for something a little different to do during ChillOut, try your hand at a game of bocce.
Presented by ArciLesbica, a social group for Italian queer women, the game is on Saturday, March 6, starting at 1pm, in the beautiful surrounds of Australia’s first macaroni factory and oldest Italian building, the Old Macaroni Factory, built in 1859.
If the sport doesn’t tickle your fancy, the food will certainly tempt the taste buds with Italian warm crusty bread, cheese, salami and salad fresh from the garden.
A gold coin donation will go the the ChillOut and Country Fire Authority’s Fire Smart Appeal.
The bocce event is part of the ChillOut Festival which runs over the Labour Day weekend, March 5–8.info: For meal bookings, call 5348 4345. For a festival rundown, visit www.chilloutfestival.com.au
