Fit for a king<\/p>\n

There’s a special weekend planned for Victoria’s King Valley, on the 6 \u2013 7 June 2009, offering you the chance to do a test run of the local cuisine, premium wines and get the toes a-wiggling in time with plenty of music. \u00a0 It appears the entire community is behind a cram packed program. \u00a0 \u00a0 A taste of Italy down-under, \u00a0including \u00a0authentic Calabrian vino, even a gypsy band. \u00a0Far too much to mention here, so be an early bird and get a copy of the program and book accommodation.
