Living on a prayer
Stroke of genius
Musicians makeover a city asset Mount Gambier’s City Band Hall has had a signicant redevelopment inside and now the outside of the iconic building has been spruced up with musicians putting their instruments aside and picking up paintbrushes to create a stunning mural. Funded by the City of Mount Gambier, the mural has breathed new life into the tired facility, that is hoping to be regenerated, not
just as a rehearsal space, but as a function and conference centre. Music is still the key focus of the hall’s tenants, though, and they are hoping to combine a processional performance with the official unveiling of the hall’s transformation, on a date yet to be finalised.

Former ABC South East chief Stuart Stansfield thought he had an ant issue on his car last week but it turned out to be some adventurous praying mantis babies. The popular presenter assumes they emanated from the overhanging ivy and proving he still has his intrepid reporting skills, he not only captured the unusual sighting for posterity but also went on a fact finding mission and found out the young of praying mantis head off hunting as soon as they hatch. He carefully relocated the brood in nearby bushes.
