The debate over the future of the Shire’s decommissioned rail line flared again at last week’s Council meeting, with councillors considering spending another $200,000 on the dream of getting trains back on the degraded line. With Council set to allocate further funds to the project at its next budget review, Coun- cillor Alan Hunter unsuccessfully moved that the plan be shelved until a benefactor with deep pockets could be found. ‘We need to stop talking about putting a train on the tracks until we get someone who’s going to underwrite our expenses, or to pick it up and build it,’ Cr Hunter said during an at-times fiery meeting. ‘There’s no way forward with the train – it’s just a sink-hole for money. ‘What we do have is clear support for Spaghetti Circus has received, for the first time, multi-year grant support for 2021 to 2024.

At that time the craft gin boom was yet to hit Australia and Ink Gin was a radical step out of the norm. Since 2015 the gin market in Australian has grown by 95% and the premium sector by an incredible 1,216%. Although the long-term economic impact of the COVID-19 virus remains to be seen, with impressive double digit growth persisting across all price bands, Australians still seem to be riding the gin wave. Batch 100 of Ink Gin is being celebrated with a commemorative label and a COVID-Safe community cocktail competition. huskdisillers.com 1152 Dalguigan Road Tumbulgum 1

Fire and ice are two words often used to describe Iceland, with its volcanos, lava fields and glaciers. In October 2019, Northern Rivers artist Heather Matthew went to Iceland for an artist residency in the remote fishing village of Skagaströnd. She created handmade paper in glacier shapes and embedded pieces of fishing rope into them with red thread stitching to reference the red jackets of tourists walking on the glaciers. A week before she arrived in Iceland, a funeral was held for the Ok glacier which had lost its ‘glacier’ status owing to the effects of climate change. As part of the exhibition, there will be an Imagine Peace evening event to coincide with the annual lighting of the Imagine Peace Tower in Reykavik Iceland on 9 October.

Finally we have something to look forward to! Our most loved events are starting to find their way back. The Byron Bay International Film Festival returns in 2020 with a special edition hybrid festival to include select cinema screenings, a competition for independent filmmakers and a unique virtual reality experience. Screening at Byron Bay’s Palace Cinemas, and the Byron Theatre, the festival will run 23 October to 1 November, off ering audiences the opportunity to experience a stimulating array of world cinema, that in other times would have been sweeping the 2020 festival circuit. Film lovers are encouraged to leave the isolation of home and join in the communal experience of watching stories unfold, as they were meant to be seen – on the big screen. The 2020 event is not business as usual. Festival Director J’aimee Skippon-Volke said, ‘Social distancing regulations will change the atmosphere and scale of what we deliver, but we’re still going to roll-out the red carpet and bring audiences the very best of world cinema and screen events.’ See story on page 3, or visit www.bbff .com.au for more information.
