Gabriella Cohen in Bruns

Gabriella Cohen, Australia’s folk darling, is coming to Brunswick Picture House to perform a one-off intimate solo show on Saturday. Known for her magnetic performances, off-hand charm and pop sensibilities, Gabriella plays music that is all-at-once laid-back, tongue-in-cheek, and peppered with the sweet sounds of ‘60s girl groups.

‘No-one ever came back but all reports indicate it’s lovely,’ and so begins this wickedly funny play about death and motherhood. Directed by the Drill’s accomplished artistic director, Liz Chance, Ghosting the Party tells the story of three generations of women who face questions of mortality and life with rigour, honesty and humour.

A double grand final showing was a fitting swan song for Byron Bay Services Club’s retiring premier coach Damon Bell.

Despite gutsy performances from the Rams’ premier division and reserve teams, they both fell short on grand final day in late September.

The reserves lost to the Richmond Rovers 7–6 in a penalty shoot out, while the top team went down 2–1 to South Lismore Celtic.

In a great stint with the Rams, coach Bell has collected four premiership and two championship trophies in the Anzac Cup, as well as taking the Rams to the regional level of the FFA Cup.

Youth crime is increasing – what to do?

There is something strange going on with youth crime in rural and regional Australia. Normally, I treat hysterical rising delinquency claims with a pinch of salt – explicable by an increase in police numbers, or a headline-chasing tabloid, or a right-wing politician.
