2011

Sun 20 Feb - Sun 20 Nov - Jazz at The Pines Concerts 2011

Details:	Jazz at the Pines 2011 Sometimes life gets a little busy and you just need to take an afternoon off. What better way to relax than under the shady old pine trees at Jazz at The Pines. Jazz at The Pines brings together some of Sydney's top jazz bands to perform live on the lawns of The Pines historic property at Dural just 35 minutes from the heart of the city via the Hills M2 Motorway. 17th Apr: Mike Hallam's Hot 6 15th May: Zenith Quintet 18th Sep: Mike Hallam's Hot 6 16th Oct: Zenith Quintet 20th Nov: Bridge City Jazz Band About Jazz at The Pines: Jazz at The Pines is now in its 14th year and has become an institution in The Hills. Visitors from as far Newcastle, Wollongong and even Canberra join 'the locals' at this outdoor event. The setting is superb. The property is set on a hill with sweeping views across to the Blue Mountains. Tables and chairs are dotted amongst tall pine trees surrounding the stage. There is a dance floor adjacent to the stage to keep the dancers on their toes! All this is set against the backdrop of historic Roughley House, built in 1856. A limited number of chairs and tables are available for those who arrive early. You can also bring your own folding chairs or a blanket to relax on the ground. Bring your picnic lunch and drinks or enjoy fabulous home-made afternoon teas from the volunteers in the Visitors Centre. During band breaks, take a free tour of historic Roughley House to hear its history from convict days to today. There is plenty of parking and afternoon teas are available in the Visitors Centre. Tickets are purchased at the gate. There really is no better way to enjoy your Sunday! Group Bookings We welcome group bookings for all jazz events. Gates are open from approximately 11.00am and booked tables are reserved until 12.45pm. Tickets are purchased as normal at the gate. Please ensure you have at least some members of your group at the table by that time as any unclaimed tables will then be released. Booking is easy! Either send us an email via the 'make an enquiry' tab or call the Visitors Centre. The Pines & historic Roughley House Hear the real colonial history of The Pines on one of our free tours throughout the afternoon. The Roughley family story in Australia began in 1817 when Joseph Roughley and his son James were convicted of theft and given a 7-year sentence of transportation to Australia. Despite many hardships, successive generations were able to work the land, build a house and raise generations carrying the Roughley name. The final family resident, Gordon 'Clive' Roughley, passed away in February 2002 aged 87 years. Prior to his death, Clive sold the property to Baulkham Hills Shire Council for $1 so that it would be maintained as a living history of colonial life in The Hills and remain accessible to the public. Clive used to look forward to Jazz days where he would sit on the front verandah, listen to the music and chat to visitors about his house, his life and his family. Clive's oral history is available from Baulkham Hills Library and is a fascinating recolection of family life through the 20th century. Tours of the homestead operate during band breaks on Jazz days or group bookings by prior arrangement. How to Get There: The Pines is located at 656 Old Northern Road, Dural just up from the Dural Country Club. Please note there is now limited parking available for up to 100 cars onsite. We recommend where ever possible to carpool with friends and family, organise to be dropped off and picked up or park offsite and walk to the event. There is also limited parking available Dural Country Club, 662 Old Northern Road, Dural.

Continue driving north along Old Northern Road and approximately 200 meters past the turn off to Galston/Swanes Nursery (do NOT takes this turn off), you will see a large brown sign on your left saying 'Tourist Information'. You've found us! If you are coming from the north via Wisemans Ferry/Central Coast, you will find us just 3 properties past the well sign-posted Dural Country Club. It's that easy.
