Yesterday the unthinkable happened right in the middle of the world’s most livable city. It was something that just doesn’t happen here…except it does, and it did. One person drove their car deliberately through lunchtime & school holiday crowds in the Melbourne CBD, killing at least 4 and hurting many more. I say at least […]
Never have I been more excited to see a musical then this one…the award winning Kinky Boots. I saw the movie version when it came out on DVD around 2006, and immediately loved it. I just knew it would be perfect as a musical so I was excited find that it actually was going to […]

You may have known that there was a very big sporting event last weekend here in Melbourne…the big dance…the AFL Grand Final. Sadly our beloved Geelong Cats fell at the last hurdle, so it was the Western Bulldogs against the Sydney Swans. Two cities against each either….except it wasn’t. It seemed that if you weren’t […]
