Victor Harbor Rotary Art Show, Warland Reserve, January 13-21
For 38 years the Victor Harbor Rotary Club has presented an art show on Warland Reserve, and each time it has grown with exciting new entries to expand its reputation as one of Australia’s finest and richest outdoor exhibitions.
The 38th will be no different with more than 1000 superb entries from more than 500 artists received across South Australia, and increased participation from Victoria.
Among the wonderful features that separate this show from others includes the fact it takes art to the public. It is welcoming to all, and enlightening those new to this forum. Importantly, this inclusiveness for both the artists and the public offers the opportunity to purchase art for less than $100, a thousand, and $10,000.
There is $34,500 in prizemoney on offer, including a non-acquisitive award of $12,500 for Best of Show.
The art show opens with officialdom on Friday, January 13 from 6.30-9.30pm when the greatly-appreciated sponsors, led by property strategist M3, which won the naming rights, have first opportunity to purchase some wonderful work. The art show is then open daily from 9.30am-8.30pm. Entry cost is $6 adults, and it is free for children aged under 16.
Proceeds from the event go to Victor Harbor Rotary community projects, humanitarian projects overseas, and to Australian Rotary Health – a Rotary initiative providing much needed grants, scholarships and research into a wide range of medical conditions and mental health for Australians.

Yesterday’s Power Rally, Milang Oval, Milang – January 21-22
For the 21st year the dedicated Milang Vintage Machinery Club committee will present its Yesterday’s Power Rally at the Milang Oval on January 21-22. It is an amazing effort and each year the organisers have introduced something new to this olde world of some of the classic engines and farm machinery that represents the heritage of this country.
There are only four other events like this in the state, and with each one farmers gather like a reunion and talk about the ‘good old days’ – and hardships.
There are the beautifully restored machines and rusted and worn out bits, but they are all great to view. They include tractors, fire engines, commercial vehicles, vintage and veteran cars and motor cycles. There is a model railway display, and there will be a vintage chainsaw demonstration.
Among other featured products will be Indian motorcycles, which gained international recognition when actor Anthony Hopkins portrayed legendary speed record holder, New Zealander Burt Munro in the movie World’s Fastest Indian (2005).
A highlight for many is the pre-1973 tractor pull – a test of sheer power. Overall, it’s a great event. Starts 10am each day. Admission $7; children under-12 free.
Compass Cup… Australia’s only cow race, Mount Compass Oval, Main Rd – Saturday, January 21
This one of the great fun days of the summer – the Mount Compass Cup, which was first held in 1973. The big day on Saturday, January 21 starts at 11am with a dung fling (what else?) followed by numerous fun events with many inviting crowd participation.
This was the first cow race event of its kind in Australia, and remains special thanks to a great team of volunteers. There are events like the milk loading competition, Tour Down Udder, a milking demonstration, and the first heat of the big cow race at 4.15pm. The final, the Compass Cup, is at 5.30pm followed by an after race concert from 6.30pm to 12.30am featuring Squirrel Grip.
This is a great value day – adults $8 and children under-14 a gold coin donation. Proceeds go to community events. Stall sites are available – contact: Kate Yabsley 0435 161 608 or visit: compasscupstalls@gmail.com
