We now sell Keith Rowe's beautiful glass! - Friday, November 11, 2011
Keith Rowe is a primarily a glass blower but also enjoys working
with sand and kiln casting. Keith has worked with glass for over 20 years
and enjoys creating balanced forms with exciting decorative elements.

Keith's work is held in many public and private galleries in both Australia
and internationally and he has won a number of international competitions
and awards.


Over the years Keith has developed his own
individual styles, often working on a body of works to produce a series.
Working this way he can explore many ideas and discover new directions.
One style often leads to another. As Keith explains, 'There is so much to
be done in glass that working on one series often leads me on a whole
new path and to a new series of works.


He has a gallery
in black heath and also teaches classes. All glass works are by four of us

Blackheath's Grand Canyon Walking Track now reopened! - Thursday, July 08, 2010

 

The Grand Canyon walking track at Blackheath was fully reopened from Saturday July 3rd. The Grand Canyon Track is a very popular walk for guests and visitors of Jemby-Rinjah. Major restoration works have been underway on selected sections of the track since March 2009, funded by both NSW State government, and Federal government (under the Jobs Fund initiative).  The current phase of works is now complete. Further works on other sections may continue if additional funding is secured.

Constructed over 100 years ago, the Grand Canyon track was the first walking track to be built into a Blue Mountains Canyon and is listed on the State Heritage register. With over 30,000 people a year now walking the track, repair and restoration works were essential.

Over the last year, skilled teams working in remote sites have been involved in detailed restoration works such as recutting stone steps, repairing stone staircases and installing new stepping stones in selected sections of the track.

Accessed through ferny rainforest gullies from either Evans Lookout or Neates Glen car park, the track offers a unique opportunity to walk through the very special surrounds of a Blue Mountains canyon. Visitors should expect a 3 to 4 hour circuit walk with many steps, steep sections and creek crossings.
