The Rise and Fall of Little Voice

INSIDE ART - Out of all the political conflict and industrial turmoil over the privatisation of the Cessnock Correctional Complex, creativity has risen like a Phoenix. The long suffering and enduring spirit of the Koori inmates and their resilience, is demonstrated in their beautiful paintings of native animals, elders, totems and dreamtime stories, ceramics and didgeridoos. There are also works from St Helliers, Muswellbrook. Concludes this week-end 11am to 4pm

It hardly needs to be pointed out as our communities respectfully gather at dawn each year for Dawn Services in ANZAC Reserve Wollombi and The War Memorial in Broke.
There are two opportunities for Car Pooling (or even a minibus if interest is strong)
This coming weekend, the St Albans Folk Festival provides quality Traditional & Contemporary Folk Music, Australian Bush Music, Roots & World Music, Music Sessions, Workshops, Dances, Poetry and Children's Activities, showcasing local and international Performers, Song Writers and Musicians.
