Last weekend was the occasion of the oddly named Flowing Festival here in Jindabyne. We walked down on Sunday along with Merrilyn to check it out. This decidedly small town festival is centered around the dragon boat races in which teams of 20 paddle forty-foot long boats which, presumably for aesthetic rather than hydrodynamic reasons, have been fashioned with dragon heads and tails. There were also a few amusement rides, a mini Renewable Energy and Climate Change Expo, a craft/farmers/flea market and the usual assortment of food vendors. Deborah purchased a jar of oversized olives stuffed with anchovies. She claims they are delicious but I can’t imagine how.
