Despite a few spots of rain, the 2018 Mullum2Bruns paddle attracted a decent crowd, both in the river and on the bank, with some 1,206 paddlers participating. Among the kayak winners, Dane Sloss was the first male to come in at 46 minutes while female winner Erin Blanch followed not far behind at 51 minutes. The slightly slower standup paddlers came in next, with Kate Baker the first female (1hr 5min) and Jackson Cosgrove (1hr 53sec). Co-organiser Jo-Ann Spiteri said the event ran almost without a hitch, with ‘just a few minor injuries’. For more pics see page 6 or visit the gallery at www.echo.net.au.

We have been working on the project since September last year, beginning with the grant application, followed by seeking extra sponsorship from the community, refi ning our vision of the event, creating our website and a poster seeking auditions.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL CINEMAREVIEWS STARS WHEN MUTABLE MERCURY MEETS BY LILITH CHATTY GEMINI THE BOOKSHOP SUN AND MIDWEEK FULL MOON IN THE The strangest little thing can have an unforeseen and intrusive SIGN OF ADVENTURE impact on one’s viewing of a movie. Early on, the widow Florence AND EXPLORATION, Green (Emily Mortimer) is in discussion with her bullying bank AIRWAVES BUZZ WITH manager about the pros and cons of taking out a mortgage on WILD IDEAS AND an historic old house that she wants to turn into a bookshop in FIZZY POSSIBILITIES… a picturesque seaside village. During the tight close-up, which is shot from a peculiar angle that looks down on her face, I noticed Mortimer’s left eye does not open quite as wide as her right AR IES: Aries’s ruler Mars in LIBRA: Synchronicity rules in and that it is ever so slightly blurred – and my attention was Aquarius is currently inspir- the time of the networking drawn to it from then on.

Florence’s innocent ambition is opposed by Violet Gamart cries out for something more than that. There is a lot of bookish (Patricia Clarkson), a formidable and wealthy woman who is seems impossible, has that lines. And weighing your dialogue, often punctuated by clumsy silences, neither of which ever stopped you? For best natural extravagance against used to getting her own way. It seems a storm in a teacup, so is overcome by the mousy Mortimer. Christine (Honor Kneafsey), results, balance individual- the lessons of experience Coiset pursues the theme of the courageous loner up against the ginger-haired child who works after school in the shop (she ity, initiative and innovation to realise that it’s absolutely the hostility of those who cling to their place in the established with kindness, courage okay to just enjoy what you order and are intent on seeing the back of the outsider.

Alden Ehrenreich, who is cast as the young Han Solo in storyline and a wise-cracking, cocksure hero in the Tom Cruise which of course aff ect solutions appeal, they’re this umpteenth incarnation of the franchise, was not yet even mould. Solo is provided with a love interest in Qi’ra (Amelia your own small corner. But not necessarily the best, a glint in his father’s eye.
