HISTORIC SNAPSHOT ~ Station/Douglas Square, Lawson in 1910 and 2021. The old Grand Hotel was still there on the left.

BACKSTORY: The Grand Hotel in Lawson, which was on the corner of Honour Ave was built In 1887 by W.C. Wormald, of fire extinguisher fame. He constructed a two-story guest house known as ‘Alameda’. It was later known as the Alameda Hotel until in the 1900’s the name changed to the Grand Hotel. Here: https://w3w.co/notebook.ketchup.remodel

In 1932, the Grand Hotel burned down, leaving the Blue Mountain Hotel, now The Henry, as the only local licensed premises.

With all the talk of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we thought for the next few weeks we'd share an AI-generated ode to each of our beautiful villages done in different styles.

MORE: https://www.askroz.com.au/blog/an-ode-to-blue-mountains-villages-using-ai/

Oh, the beauty of Lawson, with its rolling hills and towering trees,
A town of rugged grandeur, with the Blue Mountains as its crown,
Where the air is pure and fresh, and the soul is at ease,
And the tranquil landscape soothes the spirit, up and down.

I love the way the sun sets, casting a golden glow,
On the fields of green and gold, and the distant mountain peaks,
And the way the wildflowers dance, in the gentle breeze below,
While the scent of eucalyptus fills the air and the heart speaks.

The people here are kind, their warmth like a soothing balm,
They'll greet you with a smile, and lend a helping hand,
Their spirit as strong as the mountains, and their charm,
As sweet as the gum leaves that rustle across the land.

In Lawson, you'll find peace and joy, and a sense of belonging,
A true oasis in a world that's often rushed and loud,
Where the beauty of the land and the people, forever strong,
Will leave an imprint on your soul, and make you feel proud.

So, here's to Lawson, with its beauty and grace,
May it forever stand as a symbol of our great land,
Where the spirit of our nation shines, in every smiling face,
And the rugged beauty of our country, stretches across the sand.

This is Dorothea Mackellar, bidding you farewell,
May Lawson forever shine, and our love for it forever dwell.

HEADS UP - ONE DAY ONLY ~ The Dutch Master, uncovered at the Woodford Academy - National Trust of Australia NSW is back for us all to see this Saturday 10th December.

As a special Christmas treat, the recently restored and globally recognised Still Life Dutch Master returns to one of the oldest buildings in the Blue Mountains for one day only.

The Woodford academy invites ticket holders to view the outstanding 17th century Still Life painted by Gerrit Willemsz Heda. This is an opportunity to view this recently authenticated and conserved painting originating from the collection of Woodford Academy.

Heda is the son of the famous Dutch 17th Century master painter Willemz Claesz Heda. He painted in the style of his father, but his career was brief. Their signatures are very similar, and the son’s works were often attributed to his father until 1945.

If you missed seeing this painting when it was first revealed in May this is your chance to view this amazing historic artwork, returned to one of the Blue Mountain’s most historic buildings for one day only.

On your visit, you will also be able to view other art from the collection, and visit the historic school rooms, bake house and outbuildings.

The Woodford Academy café will also be open and serving delicious refreshments.

BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL: Open from 10 am to 4 pm and tickets are available through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-return-of-the-dutch-master-christmas-special-tickets-381533014517

More parking spots gone. :(

HEADS UP ~ 2 EV Charging Stations have been installed in a Lawson car park that will use 2 car parking spots. Here: w3w.co/showdown.leaps.exists

BMCC announced this in June this year. "The new charging station will be installed and managed by Australian EV charging station operator, Evie Networks, at the Council-owned car park off New Street in Lawson Town Centre. It will be the second public charging station in the Blue Mountains, with the first EV charging site planned for Blaxland, in conjunction with Tesla.

BMCC will enter into a licence agreement with Evie Networks for an initial five-year term, with options to extend for a further two terms. Evie Networks will pay a leasing fee to Council for the term of the licence agreement and there will be no extra cost and responsibility on Council as Evie will own, operate and maintain the charging stations.

The Evie Networks' chargers will accommodate a wide range of EV models and will determine its own charges to customers to use the charging station.
