Brett Whitely Travelling Exhibiition
Posted on February 21st, 2009 by judy53
It was too good an opportunity to miss – the travelling Brett Whitely Exhibiition at the Newcastle Regional Art Gallery.
Art Express was also being exhibited. The creative thinking and expression of 118 year old artists is phenomenal. I will make a point of seeing this in the future!

It’s a love story, a history lesson and a travelogue!
Trailer for Painted Veil

Keating, the musical!
If ever a politician was a contrast of stereotypes – “He da man!”
From Bankstown fibro to Eastern suburbs grandeur. Double breasted Amani was his signature – but he still had a passion for equity and the underdogs. Keating paved the way for Reconciliation and helped to keep some of the bastards [...]

The markets kept us occupied with interesting local produce and throughout the day there were exhibitions of knights fighting and archery. None of this was staged – it was real and fast!
We went to the matinee of an [...]

Web 2.0?
