Morning Monsters CD Launch

SATURDAY OCTOBER 27
Some local lads released their first compilation CD and celebrated in style with a big and enthusiastic crowd. I didn't arrive till after midnight and had to be back at work by 10am so my experience was brief but full! Here's the evidence...lol













AQUASCULPTURE

SUNDAY OCTOBER 21
The annual aquasculpture exhibition is held on Town Green in Port Macquarie, right on the river. An awesome location and perfect for the theme, not unlike Sydneys Sculpture by the Sea, but with a local flavour. The standard of works was high nonetheless and a soundscape performance opened the celebrations.

A few of the pieces that graced the lawns....


all natural materials - a tribute to a local aboriginal elder









Kyogle Show

Saturday October 6
For the first time in its history, the Kyogle Show featured some other components of a more wholistic nature....climate change workshops, massage, alternative energy and drum making and a tree planting on the banks of the river - it was kind of a stark contrast to see the woodchoppers and dodgem cars on one side of the showgrounds, with tree plantings and talks about sustainability on the other! Well done to the organisers for introducing some much needed balance into the equation!
