About Turramurra Camp......
Turramurra is held at “Wildwood Retreat” in the Pennyroyal Valley near Dean's Marsh, Victoria. “Wildwood Retreat” is a comfortable outdoor education camp situated on Pennyroyal Creek in a secluded valley of the Otway Ranges. Facilities include camping (unpowered), swimming pool, barbecues and bunkhouse. Entry only available to those booking in advance. Workshops run by expert tutors help people of all abilities to develop their skills in the “unplugged arts”, including guitar, fiddle and whistle playing, singing, songwriting, dancing, painting and story telling. Limited supplies of instruments are usually available at the camp - harmonica, ukulele, whistle, etc. There are also opportunities to play and perform in groups of all shapes and sizes, so bring along your instruments, songs and have a go! The camp starts on Friday with registration from 5pm and a Welcome Concert at 8pm. On Saturday there's a choice of workshops and an evening dance at the Dean's Marsh hall, followed by supper and jam sessions for the night owls amongst us. The workshops continue on Sunday, and in the evening, all are invited to contribute to the Main Concert which features music, storytelling, bush theatre and every imaginable form of home grown entertainment. On Monday morning, it's farewells all round, and for many a stop at the local Berry Farm on the way home!
