Our Neighbourhood Community Grants form part of Australia Post’s ongoing commitment to building healthier, more vibrant and inclusive communities. The program recognises the important role local community groups and smaller charities play in connecting people and creating positive change.

By providing successful applicants funding of up to $10,000 per project, the program gives a helping hand to small groups working together to build better neighbourhoods. This year we awarded over 70 community organisations funding to support projects nationwide, focused on the following areas: • Digital Capability: projects that build digital skills for individuals and the wider community • Employment Pathways: projects that increase employment opportunities for marginalised people • Community Inclusion: projects that build community spirit and foster inclusion • Disaster Readiness: projects that help communities better prepare for natural disasters Grants are funded from both Australia Post and Our Neighbourhood Trust. The Our Neighbourhood Trust is a public charitable fund established by Australia Post which collects donations from the Australia Post workforce, customers and the community to support local community projects.

Visit ourneighbourhood.com.au to check out recipients and projects that Our Neighbourhood Trust received funding in your local area.

Entry is by gold coin donation. For more information visit Rous County Council, North Coast Local www.bigscrubrainforest.org.au. Land Services and Stone & Wood. The Big Scrub Rainforest Day is an annual celebration of our rainforest and the natural environment where we live. The Big Scrub was once the largest expanse of subtropical rainforest in Australia, and covered a roughly circular area where at present Lismore, Ballina, Byron Bay and Mullumbimby are situated. Of the original 75,000 hectares, now less than one per cent – only 300 ha – of scattered rainforest fragments remains. These fragmented pockets of subtropical rainforest are special places. More species of plants and animals are found here than in any other ecosystem in NSW. Their high conservation value is reflected in their status as critically endangered nationally.

Now in its eighteenth year Big Scrub Rainforest Day is Australia’s largest annual landcare, environment and community event and this year we celebrate 30 years of rainforest restoration at Rocky Creek Dam. The event provides a focus for community Local Land Services involvement through education in a festival North Coast environment. It has a strong learning, social and family context.

How has being a musician changed you? Do you ever imagine what would have happened if you had taken another path? I guess I see things a little differently. I’ve been fortunate to have friends across the globe who live in wonderful places, so because I don’t have a 9–5 I get to enjoy these places and definitely stop to not only smell the roses, but the jasmine, plumeria, and marijuana too. I never think about where I would be if I’d turned left instead of right. I guess because all I know to do is create, whether it be music or carpentry. I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I couldn’t get these ideas out of my head. It’s my therapy! What project have you been working on lately? Besides finishing up a full length for Allensworth, I’ve been writing tunes with a 10-piece funk/soul ensemble called Jungle Fire and also writing with another soul unit called Orgone. I also try to get in the studio every time I come to Australia and collaborate with all the amazing friends I’ve met along the way. We’ve made some gems here and I hope some releases will go down soon. What should we expect for Mullum Music Festival? Definitely some new tracks. We’ll probably start off really nice and get the wheels churning until they spin right off the tracks. Then drop a JB-influenced ballad to get the heads bobbing again and pick it up until we find ourselves derailed again.

MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN

The harshest criticism that can be levelled at a film based on a best-selling novel is that it has FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN taken liberties in re-telling the story – that it is unfaithful to the book. Tate Taylor’s adaptation of Paula Hawkins’s hugely successful whodunnit makes a rod for its own back, however, by being so infinitesimally true to its source. Those who have no idea what might have happened Tim Burton’s films generally strike me as being lurid examples of style over content. Heavily to Megan Hipwell, and why, will undoubtedly be held in suspense by Erin Cressida Wilson’s taut reliant on special effects and lairy eye candy, they just don’t do it for me (okay, I’ll payBig and faultlessly constructed script, whereas those of us only too well aware of her fate will be Eyes). With few exceptions, they come across as children’s movies, so it should not surprise watching to see if Taylor ‘gets it right’ (it was also the case, for me, with Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, that his latest is, in fact, aimed at kids.
