17-24 May 2015 The 2015 Kernewek Lowender is on next week!! With excitement all is set for the 2015 Kernewek Lowender Copper Coast Cornish Festival, set to bring the Copper Coast alive next week! The program of a record 60 events to run from 17-24 May is seen as one of the best ever, well catering for the 35,000 plus crowds expected to again converge on the South Australian towns of Kadina, Moonta and Wallaroo for this major SA cultural event. Known as the world’s largest Cornish Festival, the 2015 event marks its 21st birthday, having been held every two years on the Copper Coast since 1973. The secret to its longevity is its authentic and unique offerings of fun and feasting, pulled together by some 300 hard working locals who are justifiably proud of the region’s significant Cornish heritage. Hundreds dress as Cornish Jacks and Jennies, thousands of Cornish pasties are consumed, Swanky beer is swilled (this year with its special 21st label), and crowds fill town squares for the spectacle that is the maypole and furry dancing. Necks crane to view the Procession and the Cavalcade of Cars & Motorcycles and people travel thousands of miles to experience the Gathering of the Bards and the Dressing of the Graves. Many events are free, including the Drakes Foodland Moonta Parade & Street Party, the NYP Rotary Village Green Fair, rotunda entertainment, Dressing the Graves, Maypole, Furry Dance, the Giant Pasty Bake-off and the Gathering of the Bards. Ticketed events include Kernow King Comedy, Cornish Troyl Dinner Dance, Bonanza Variety Concert, Country Music Concert, Meet the Cornish, A Night of Harmony, Seafarer’s Bounty, Feast or Famine, Sacred Concert, Cornish Pasty workshops, Cornish Language Lesson, and the Cornish Seminar.

Tam Kernewek for More Materials
Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 32 Issue 4 Winter 2014 CORNWALL – MEXICO LINKS In October representatives of the Redruth—Real del Monte Twinning Association visited in Mexico for twelve days at the time of the 6th International Paste Festival. Many interesting events took place during their time there, and fascinating connections were made. Particularly significant connections were created between schools in the Redruth area and the schools in Real del Monte. Association secretary and Redruth Town councilor Deborah Reeve indicated that creating links of this kind was one of the aims of Twinning Association when it was formed at the beginning of this year. Prior to the visit to Mexico a connection had already been made between Treleigh Primary school and an equiva- lent school in Real del Monte. The delegation also carried with them letters of introduction from Illogan and St. Day & Carharrack primary schools and Cornwall College. Mrs. Reeve visited several schools while in Mexico and was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the local school children who immediately came forward with ideas, letters and e-mails to make the most of the links. Before returning home she was given a tour of the facilities of Magattzi School by head teacher David Ortiz Licona. Upon return to Redruth members of the Twinning Association met with Redruth School head teacher Craig Mar- tin and six children from the year 7 Spanish class. Letters from students at Magattzi were delivered and a commitment was made to begin this exciting connection. Ian Thomas (vice chair), Redruth School head teacher Craig Mar- tin, Deborah Reeve (secretary Redruth-Real del Monte Twinning Association), Manny Hernandez (chairman of the Twinning Asso- ciation) and year seven Spanish pupils celebrate the new link.

Meeting Our Cornish Cousins
Meeting our Cornish Cousins Whenever possible, members of the TCA connect with our Cornish cousins; the descendants of those courageous Cornish emigrants who took the risky steps of leaving their homeland to seek brighter pastures for themselves and their families in the New World. At each meeting, we share our love of Cornwall and make new friends and sometimes meet long lost relatives! These meetings have, and will, take place in Australia, North America and Cornwall itself. The Kernewek Lowender Kernewek Lowender (or Cornish Happiness) is a weeklong event organized by the Cornish Association of South Australia and usually takes place every two years in the Yorke Peninsula also known as “Australia’s Little Cornwall”. It was here that many Cornish miners and their families settled in the 1850’s where they laboured to tame the hot, desolate land and build a new life. The first such Kernewek Lowender gathering attended was in May 2013. From the tours we took and the talks we attended, we learnt of the hardships and the joys experienced by those brave Cornish pioneers. One of the most moving events was the “Dressing of the Graves” at Moonta Cemetery. Local school children dressed in smocks for the girls and cap and vest for the boys, clothing that would have been worn by children in the 1800’s, scattered rose petals over the unmarked graves of children who died from the drinking the water contaminated by mining. There were so many deaths that it was impossible to mark them all. PHOTOS: Left - Right Cornish Language Quilt, Marion Stephens-Cockroft at the local pasty shop, Joy Dunkerley, President, N.S.W.

Teacher Notes
Background notes for Across the Creek Author response: I first got the idea of writing Across the creek when reading an old book about Cornish folklore. In it is the amazing statement that the old Cornish thought that some of the piskeys and other types of fairy people went across the seas. I presume this meant when the emigrants came to countries like Australia to work at the mines. Then I read a story called The Lost Boy of St Allen, and how he fell asleep in the forest. When he was found he was full of stories about a lady who took him to an underground crystal cave. This story made me think about our lost children in Australia – the ones who were lost in the bush and never found. Like picnic at hanging rock. What happened really? Was there another dimension – was there another answer? I thought up the dragaroo because I wanted to show that the Cornish culture mingles with the Australian and the two have impacted on each other. We have so much Cornish influence in SA that is not always recognised as Cornish. I often have a strong sense of place in my stories. I like to go to a place – it gives me the atmosphere, the ambience for writing the story, and the Kapunda mine did that for me. I was walking around it one day and I realised the story I was thinking about was right here in the mine. A boy could come across the creek into the mine and find a strange land where his friend Jenice is alive after all.
