Wentworth Falls

Just not local at all.

It's three people appointed by the minister of planning that reports to the minister of planning, so it's not also independent at all, uh, but they pretend it is, right? So then you see, um, proposals and DAs for the Blue Mountains that the community's really against, like those 200 apartments that were going to be Airbnb apartments in Marrinac Road, or the McDonald's in Wentworth Falls, or data centers.

And then the community has to get together and campaign, which is exhausting, right? For something that the council should be able to say, "No, it's against our environmental rules.

It's against, um, you know, our interest of the community." But that no longer is the case.

... part of the, uh, Blank State or Blank Sl- Slate Cinema.

Uh, and the movie's happening, uh, uh, in, um, in the Blue Mountains in the Wentworth Falls-

Yes

...

What is it? Let's go to our callers.

Tony from Wentworth Falls, welcome to the madhouse.

Good morning and welcome back.

Thanks, mate.

The exhibition will be open over the whole holiday weekend and it will definitely be worth a visit as you can often pick up some wonderful works for a great price.

Now, if you want a truly different art adventure, the Wild Valley Art Park in Wentworth Falls is a terrific experience.

It's located on 17 acres of native Australian bushland, which is peppered with sculptures from local Blue Mountains artists with walks around the wetlands and the lake.

It's open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 4pm.

Just tell me how it came about.

Oh, yes, well, welcome.

We're here on 17 acres in the beautiful bushland in Wentworth Falls.

So it's got a very long history, this property, but originally it was a quarry and then it became a... demonstration sustainable village in a way with the mud bricks made on site and now it's kind of in its third incantation and it is a art centre so we have workshops, we have artist studios and we have a gallery.

Over the weekend, I drove up with my wife and kids to the Blue Mountains.

We paid a visit to a park in Wentworth Falls.

Now, not the national park.

This was just a council park.

Nice one.

Wentworth Falls around the lake.

Maybe you've been there.

And there's some kids' playgrounds there.
