Music in the Monster Mine

Saturday 6th February 2010

Music in the Monster Mine is one of our favourite Burra events. It all happens at the edge of the magnificent Burra Mine pool and this unique location sets the scene for a great night. This year's entertainment will be provided by E-Type Jazz and the Sass-E-Singers. There will be continuous music and dancing from 6pm until midnight and at only $45 a ticket it's a great value event.

For all the information about the evening, as well as booking details, give the friendly staff at the Burra Visitor Centre a call on 8892 2154.

Christmas opening hours

We are having a few days off to celebrate Christmas with our friends and family so the shop will be closed from Christmas Day and will reopen at 10am on Wednesday 30th December.

We wish all our customers a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

Father Christmas arrives in Burra!

Father Christmas picked the perfect evening to arrive in Burra and a very excited crowd gathered to welcome him to town last night. Around 200 children took part in the Santa Trail and collected bags of goodies around the town before they visited Santa in the Rotunda.

Congratulations to the organisers for another terrific community event in our lovely town.

Great ideas for Christmas

With Christmas only 2 weeks away (aaaahhh) we have some great ideas for special gifts.

How about a funky "Toaster" teapot from The Teapottery in Yorkshire ($155) ?

Or perhaps a 'Kennel' or a 'Caravan' at $195 each.

A pretty watering can from Somerton Green ($27.50)

... or something special from the bright and colourful Old Tupton Ware range. Prices start at $35.

This Art Deco set of five lidded canisters is something quite unique and is only $175.

If you're just after some inspiration why not come into the shop and have a look around. You can browse while you enjoy a coffee and a cake and with stock arriving every week there's always something new to see.

The Caffeine Combination ALMOST wins the pub quiz!

This is just some of the motley crew who make up the "Caffiene Combination" - the Gaslight/Burra Stationers pub quiz team. In a very tense battle last Wednesday we fell just four points short of winning this year's $500 prize. So it's hearty congratulations to the "Burra Crays" and a big thank you to Stammy, Bill and all the Burra Hotel staff who have made the quiz nights such fun over the past 12 months.

Just watch out Crays - we'll be back bigger and better next year!

Christmas Shortbread

If you need a stocking filler, or you're looking for a small gift, you can't go past our delicious Christmas shortbread. It comes in all sorts of Christmas shapes and is packaged in a cellophane bag with a bright ribbon. At just $6 a bag it's the perfect Christmas treat.

Ho Ho Ho!

Christmas is on its way and we are busy getting ready with lots of ideas for gifts that are just a little bit different. Bob has been busy at the auctions and we will be unpacking all the new stock over the next few days so drop in to the shop and see what's new.
