Beechworth Harvest Celebration

The Harvest Celebration in Beechworth is a celebration of the exquisite produce of North East Victoria, its passionate regional producers and the wines of five distinct wine regions.

The Producers’ Picnic, at its new home in Beechworth’s Police Paddocks,

will see more than 60 producers from Beechworth, King Valley, Alpine Valleys, Glenrowan, Milawa and Rutherglen showcasing their earthly delights.

Fill your basket with freshly roasted chestnuts, seasonal fruits, hand-crafted ice-cream, chocolates and cheeses, local forest honey, and award-winning wines and ales.

Relax on the grass with a glass of wine and dishes from renowned High Country restaurants, while your little ones get their hands messy in food-flavoured fun

with Beechworth Honey and Beechworth Bakery.

Andrew Follows is an inspiring photographer with a social conscience, who is fast becoming established within the arts community. Andrew has an eye condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a condition which has rendered one eye completely blind with ever diminishing tunnel vision in the other. He can see three metres to  most people’s seventy metres, and that is through a foggy haze.

Whilst many would see this condition as a reason for not engaging fully in the life of the wider community, this has not been the case for Andrew. He savours what he can see and, with the help of digital photography, has recently begun documenting his vision and care of the world around him. His photographs are professional, unique and inspiring.

The key to the world around Andrew is through his camera. The lens becomes his eyes, the shutter his very existence, the computer his medium of vision enabling him for the first time to see the world more clearly. In the last two years Andrew has exhibited his work in numerous galleries and is looking forward to expanding his market internationally.

So come follow Andrew and Eamon in his exciting journey that he lives in everyday, as Andrew explores his challenges in photography and the world in the visual medium.
