Holiday Accommodation Blue Mountains Pet Friendly
We did the official tour - the gardens open up vistas from the front rooms. There are collection of artworks by famous painters/sculptors & the persian carpets are pretty. Definitely worth seeing. Bring a picnic lunch & spend at least 3 hours to do it justice. Verandah has tables & chairs if weather is inclement. Recent Sun visit - booked online for morning tea (tea + choice of two sweets), very brief piano recital & guided tour of house for $18. The Director gives a talk on the history of the ownership & how the garden was established & does the tour. Separate entry fee of $8 for the gardens or $20 for guided tour of gardens with brief live music at the end. Only open at specific times during the year - book online. There are other music recitals & events. No city views - this garden runs along the main road to Mt Macedon memorial park but is hidden. Pretty noisy with the weekend traffic & beware of speeding cyclists on the roads! …

Waitaki Dam (1934) Power to the people Work began on the Waitaki Dam, the first large state hydroelectric scheme in the South Island since Lake Coleridge, in mid-1928 at a site 7 km from the Kurow railhead. It was the last major dam built by pick, shovel and wheelbarrow, tools anachronistically retained because politicians wanted to reduce the unemployment rate. At its peak 1200 men laboured in often dangerous and freezing conditions; 350 houses and 700 huts sheltered them from the extremes of North Otago winters, but work conditions and high accident rates made Waitaki a bleak site. The Waitaki Dam owes its true significance to its role as an incubator for Labour's social security scheme. In 1928 a site-based Waitaki Hydro Medical Association contracted with the Waitaki Hospital Board to provide medical and ambulance services, paid for by a monthly deduction from wages. Dr David McMillan, 'the little doctor', and the Reverend Arnold Nordmeyer, both of whom entered Parliament at the 1935 election, based Labour's social security scheme on their Waitaki experience.
