My favourite place is home, but I really like returns from playing in new places too. I love playing to all sized crowds, but prefer crowds where they come to listen to the music the big smoke and lyrics rather than as background music while people are eating. What’s the hardest part about being a performer? Trying to get your name out there. There are so many talented musicians trying to do the same thing as me and it’s a hard slog. When someone compliments me on my music I get a real kick out of it and that appreciation makes it all worth it. e love it when locals do great things and local musician Any plans to go to Nashville?

  • Queensland Arts Council Strategic Plan, 2001-2003
    ARTS FACILITATION AND CREATIVE COMMUNITY CULTURE: A STUDY OF QUEENSLAND ARTS COUNCIL by Michael John Richards ADVA, MA. Submitted to the Faculty of Creative Industries at Queensland University of Technology, in support of an application for admission to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, January 2005. 1 LIST OF KEYWORDS Civil Society Community Arts Community Cultural Development Community Revitalisation Community Engagement Creative Class Creative Industries Cultural Industries Cultural Policy Excellence Elite(s) Knowledge Class Meritocracy Regional Arts 2 ABSTRACT This thesis adopts a Cultural Industries framework to examine how Queensland’s arts council network has, through the provision of arts products and services, contributed to the vitality, health and sustainability of Queensland’s regional communities. It charts the history of the network, its configuration and impact since 1961, with particular focus on the years 2001 - 2004, envisages future trends, and provides an analysis of key issues which may be used to guide future policies and programs. Analysis is guided by a Cultural Industries understanding of the arts embedded in everyday life, and views the arts as a range of activities which, by virtue of their aesthetic and symbolic dimensions, enhance human existence through their impact on both the quality and style of human life. Benefits include enhanced leisure and entertainment options, and educational, social, health, personal growth, and economic outcomes, and other indirect benefits which enrich environment and lifestyle. Queensland Arts Council (QAC) and its network of branches has been a dominant factor in the evolution of Queensland’s cultural environment since the middle of the 20th century. Across the state, branches became the public face of the arts, drove cultural agendas, initiated and managed activities, advised governments, wrote cultural policies, lobbied, raised funds and laboured to realise cultural facilities and infrastructure.

    Field Guides Tour Report Australia ‐ Part Two 2016 (with Tasmania extension to Nov 7) Oct 18, 2016 to Nov 2, 2016 Chris Benesh & Cory Gregory For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. The sunset over Cumberland Dam near Georgetown was especially vibrant. Photo by guide Cory Gregory. The country of Australia is a vast one, with a wide range of geography, flora, and fauna. This tour, ranging from the Top End over to Queensland (with some participants continuing on to Tasmania), sampled a diverse set of regions and an impressively wide range of birds. Whether it was the colorful selection of honeyeaters, the variety of parrots, the many rainforest specialties, or even the diverse set of world-class mammals, we covered a lot of ground and saw a wealth of birds. We began in the tropical north, in hot and humid Darwin, where Torresian Imperial-Pigeons flew through town, Black Kites soared overhead, and we had our first run-ins with Magpie-Larks. We ventured away from Darwin to bird Fogg Dam, where we enjoyed Large-tailed Nightjar in the predawn hours, majestic Black-necked Storks in the fields nearby, and even a Rainbow Pitta and Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove in the nearby forest! We also visited areas like Darwin River Dam, where some rare Black-tailed Treecreepers put on a show and Northern Rosellas flew around us. We can’t forget additional spots near Darwin, like East Point, Buffalo Creek, and Lee Point, where we gazed out on the mudflats and saw a variety of coast specialists, including Beach Thick-knee and Gull-billed Tern.

  • 494 JAMES VENTURE MULLIGAN Prospector and Explorer of the North
    494 JAMES VENTURE MULLIGAN Prospector and Explorer of the North [By GLENVILLE PIKE] (Written for the Monthly General Meeting of the His­ torical Society of Queensland, Inc., on 26th April 1951). James Venture Mulligan is a man whose deeds are not known to many. Yet he was probably North Queensland's greatest explorer and prospector—a man who did more than anyone else to open up the vast mineral areas of Cape York Peninsula and the hinter­ land of Cairns. In this paper I propose to tell you, as briefly as I can, about Mulligan's work—briefly because the full story would fiU a book if sufficient time was spent in sorting out the many records and old newspaper re­ ports that survive—relics of the days when Mulligan's discoveries were big news. Mulligan made six expeditions between 1873 and 1876 and on only one of them did he receive financial help from the Government. His arduous journeys were made at his own expense, spurred on only by his urge of discovering something of value to the community, and to open up the then wild Northern lands of which this brave man was so much a part. He was a bom leader of men. In a wider field he could have become Australia's greatest explorer. This year is the seventy-fifth anniversary of Mul­ ligan's discovery of payable gold on the Hodgkinson; the founding of Cairns followed within six months. This October, the anniversary is being celebrated in Cairns in conjunction with the Jubilee of Federation, but few will pause to remember Mulligan as the man who blazed the way for the pioneers of Cairns to foUow.

  • Journeys Into the Rainforest
    2 Study Region: Environmental, Historical and Cultural Background Introduction This chapter presents background information regarding (i) the understanding of the environmental context, (ii) the distinct Aboriginal rainforest culture recorded at the time of European contact, (iii) the outcomes of Aboriginal interactions and negotiations with Europeans over the decades that followed first contact and (iv) the archaeological evidence, to the study area. The first section describes the environmental setting of the rainforest region, and demonstrates that a great level of biodiversity exists in this region. Information from palaeoecological research in the region is summarised to facilitate an appreciation of the climatic and environmental variability of the late Pleistocene and Holocene periods that has impact on human occupation in the region. This is followed by a summary of early European history of the study area and a description of the cultural setting of the study, including a discussion on some of the long-term outcomes of European settlement on Aboriginal people. The chapter concludes with a summary of previous archaeological research conducted in the rainforest region. Environmental setting The Wet Tropics Bioregion of northeast Queensland covers approximately 12,000 square km. It incorporates approximately the area between Rossville and Cardwell in the east and the Atherton- Evelyn Tablelands to the west (Fig. 2.1). The Tablelands are separated from the coastal plains by a mountain range that includes the highest mountain in Queensland, Mt Bartle Frere, at 1,622 m above sea level. The study area is located on the Evelyn Tableland in the southwest corner of the Tablelands (Fig. 2.1).
