John Crook\u00a0<\/p>\n

The popular Greek island of Santorini<\/p>\n

It’s scarf time on the domestic scene<\/p>\n

The National Wool Museum in Geelong is the home of the 2010 Reflections scarf festival, staged from June 18 to July 24.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It features around\u00a0 250 scarves from all over Australia and as far afield as India and New Zealand. Apart from the exhibition, organisers have also scheduled workshops. However you will need to move swiftly in search of a cancellation, such is its popularity.\u00a0 For details of the exhibition\u00a0 and availabilities at the workshops, telephone (03) 5272 4701.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Venice film festival<\/p>\n

It is one of the oldest film festivals in the world, being the 67th, organised by La Biennale di Venezia.\u00a0 Could be just the place to be, or for those who deplore the crowds, the best place from which to steer clear.\u00a0 For me there could not be a better reason to be part of the scene. The dates for the festival are from September 1 to 11.\u00a0 To keep abreast of the happenings pre-festival go visit www.labiennale.org<\/a> \u00a0
