What's On
Come and join us in farewelling the year at our Bonenkai! We will be celebrating at Nishiki Cafe & Izakaya with a special banquet menu, with a vegan/vegetarian option.
Parafield Gardens High School is looking for people to join their homestay program. We host two regular study tours each year, and our next one will be from March 9-16, 2019. Students are from our sister school in Yokohama, and all participating homestays will receive a small reimbursement to cover living costs during their stay.
The Art Gallery of South Australia will host the 2018 World Tea Gathering this November as part of the OzAsia Festival. Tea artists from Australia, France, Japan, Brazil and Germany will assemble from the 2nd to 9th of November, presenting a week of pop-up events and performances celebrating the art of tea.
