Identity Crisis
CAN’T Think Straight (41 Vincent Street Daylesford) is a fab little shop/gallery space that sells colourful and eclectic pieces of awesomeness. (Gay, green and everything in between is their own apt description). They host regular exhibitions, and this month are showing a collection of photographic works by Jeremy Williams entitled Identity. Jeremy investigates identity through works exploring personal discovery (‘Coming Out: Emerging from Adolescence’), stereotypes (‘Dolls’) and censorship (‘Censored’). These personal pieces will adorn the walls at Can’t Think Straight from Tuesday, May 1, till the end of June. Jeremy has a passion for music, and has previously taken many portraits of bands and musicians including Hanson, Owl Eyes, Sarah Blasko, Paris Wells, Wynter Gordon and Lanu. To find out more about the artist visit: jeremy-williams.net or see ‘Identity’ at the gallery. kd

lost the guide to where to find it
OooooOOOooooo... FOR those not afraid of the dark, nor things that goes bump in the night, herein, activities for you. Lovely Daylesford has quite the coloured past. Ask any local and you’ll hear about underground tunnels leading to the old morgue and secret entrances to historic pubs, or bordello houses frequented by the miner gentleman of yesteryear. Then there are many tales of grisly murders and mystery disappearances of local townsfolk (okay maybe we made that part up). However, Eerie Tours, will share non-made-up stories during their ’Murder and Mystery Tours,’ at night (of course) throughout the streets of Daylesford. For more information see: eerietours.com.au or phone: 1300 856 668. The Convent Gallery (Daly Street, Daylesford) also presents paranormal experts on their ‘Ghosts of our Pioneers’ tours in the 140 year old mansion. The next date being Saturday, May 26, more details: conventgallery.com.au or 5348 3211. dp
