Friday evening 11 September 2026 from 6pm to 9pm will be your opportunity to experience how life was after dark in the 19th century. No electricity, so lanterns or candles were the light sources. No running water in the house and a copper to heat it so if you wanted a bath after dark you had to heat the copper and carry the water to your hip bath!! Cooneana Homestead built in 1868 will be the place to explore, then from 7pm Jack Sim, raconteur extraordinary, will share stories that he has gathered from that time.

The Cooneana Blacksmiths will have their forges flaming so bring your camera and take some awesome photos!

A glass of wine or a soft drink will be offered, and you can purchase one of Wendy's tasty spuds cooked in their jackets and filled with delicious extras.

This event is not suitable for young children under 12 years.

Tickets will be $15.00 per person.
