The Hunter is a hotbed for sporting talent, a breeding ground for some of the best in the business across a wide range of sporting endeavours. With the Commonwealth Games set to kick off on the Gold Coast from April 4, we’ve pulled together your armchair guide to local athletes - highlighting some of our home-grown heroes preparing to pull on the green and gold to compete.
There’s no better place than a writers festival to go behind the scenes of your favourite story and discover just what drove the author to tell that particular tale. And that’s exactly what book lovers of all ages can do in Newcastle this month when the sixth annual Newcastle Writers Festival hots town from April 7. The highlight (of course) will be an evening with Jimmy Barnes - who is our cover story this month.
Also rolling into town this month are the dreaded School Holidays. If you’re looking for a few budget boredom busters then we’ve got the guide for you! Check out our cracking calendar inside. Enjoy!
