Taste the North West
Make a note of these dates – April 24 to April 30 2011. These could mean something to you if you are also into food and the arts. The location is Sheffield in Tasmania. There are lots of happenings on those dates but probably the date which is most attractive to me would be April 30, where a mural festival coincides with the tastes of the North West. It's a celebration of the finest foods, beverage and produce. Try these for tastes. Rabbit pies, German-style small goods, smoked salmon through wood fired pizzas. For all the information go visit www.muralfest.com.au
