PENRITH’S SISTER ACT

SHANNON COCHRANE chats with local country musician Victoria Baillie about her band Baylou, going to Nashville and what it’s really like working with her sister...

W

orking with a sibling is most people’s idea of a nightmare but for Victoria and Barb Baillie keeping it in the family has been a formula for success. The Penrith-based sisters, each respected artists in their own right, have joined forces and taken the country music world by storm with their new band, Baylou.

Their fresh, edgy take on country music has proven wildly popular among audiences with Baylou’s debut single ‘Target On My Heart’ reaching number one on the Country Music Channel’s Top 30 Countdown. Their debut album ‘Go To Hell & I Love You’ was released on March 15 and will no doubt be just as successful.

For any country music artist, performing in Nashville is the ultimate dream. It’s one that both Victoria and Barb have already achieved in the past, and will do again in May when they perform at the CMA Country Music Festival on the international show case.

This moment in the limelight has been years in the making, with both sisters catching the performing bug early on in life.

Born and raised in the country town of Moe, Victoria and Barb took on a variety of creative hobbies including tap, ballet and jazz dancing. The girls found their passion in their

early teens when they fell in love with country music and began participating in talent quests, singing and playing the guitar.

Despite their skill and strong stage presence, neither sister achieved instant fame.

Instead, they both spent years playing the local pub circuit before finally landing a record deal and achieving recognition within the industry.

Rather than being bitter about their long path to success, Victoria credits the early years of her career with helping her develop as a musician.

“It’s been a slow bit of a journey but a really great learning curve along the way,” she admits.

“You know our gigs still today vary from smaller venues to bigger venues, it just depends what comes through and whatever we get a chance to do really.”

Considered an up-and-coming talent within the Australian country music ranks, Victoria has already achieved substantial success as a solo artist and won a Golden Guitar for Best New Talent at the Country Music Awards two years ago.

Four of her music videos reached the top 10 in the Country Music Channel charts, and she has toured the country playing for fans.

Proving that talent is in their genes, Barb has also carved out a lucrative career in

country music, touring alongside a range of respected artists including Troy Casser-Daly, Beccy Cole and Adam Harvey.

She’s also supported her sister on stage whenever she could, playing guitar and singing back-up vocals at Victoria’s gigs.

It was no surprise then that the sisters decided to collaborate and form Baylou.

According to Victoria, becoming a duo was “kind of inevitable”.

“I think it was that next progressional step that was going to happen, it was naturally going to happen and I’m glad it did because it is so much more fulfilling as a duo with her,” she said.

Like most sisters, the women of Baylou are prone to the occasional argument although Victoria believes this has actually helped them

inspiration from artists such as Mel Haggard, Patsy Cline, Keith Urban and the Dixie Chicks.

She said that the input of Barb, who has more mixed tastes, helped to create a unique sound.

The result of their collaboration on ‘Go To Hell & I Love You’ is a catchy, rockier brand of country music that differs from their solo work.

When asked to describe Baylou’s genre, Victoria said she couldn’t think of any artists that were alike: “It’s definitely still country, I would say it’s country with a twist... it’s a little edgy, a little rocky and a little poppy. It’s kind of hard to put it in a nutshell or say we’re similar to some artists, I wouldn’t know who to compare us with”.

Even though they’ve only just released their debut album, Baylou have already turned their thoughts to a follow-up release and are in

Sometimes it drives me batty and I want to kill her but she’s my sister make better music.

“Sometimes it just works... it makes us really seek perfection in what we’re trying to create musically and as artists because there is somebody there saying ‘nope, we can do better’ and ‘nope I don’t like that’ and ‘why don’t you like it?’ so it makes us pull apart what we’re doing as artists,” she said.

“Sometimes it drives me batty and I want to kill her but she’s my sister and you know other times it works really well so it’s fun.”

Working together has also meant that the bandmates have widened each other’s musical horizons, with Victoria in particular appreciating the influences Barb brings to Baylou’s repertoire.

A country girl at heart, Victoria seeks

the process of writing music. “[We are] definitely, constantly writing always because... I don’t think as an artist you just stop unless you have a bit of writers block, but we’re already preparing,” Victoria said.

For the moment though, the sisters are focusing on promoting their current album.

“I can’t wait to go down to JB Hi Fi in Penrith and pick up a copy and take a photo and be like ‘yep, it’s in the store’.”

Baylou’s new album ‘Go To Hell & I Love You’ was released last week and they will be performing instore at Leading Edge, St Marys on Saturday, March 23.

ORIGINAL SINGER JOINS AC/DC SHOW

G

et ready to rock because the world’s biggest AC/DC tribute show, Long Way to the Top, is set to bring the band’s anthemic music to Penrith.

Aussie rock icons, AC/DC have sold more than 200 million albums world wide and have been named the ‘Greatest Heavy Metal Band of All Time’ by MTV. Now, to celebrate 40 years of AC/DC, Long Way to the Top is touring Australia as a large-scale production that combines impressive lighting, sound and staging effects to recreate the hard rock sound of its inspiration.

It aims to make the audience feel like they are experiencing a genuine AC/DC concert and even replicates a stage set from one of the band’s BBC performance specials in the early 1990’s.

All of AC/DC’s greatest hits will be played, including ‘TNT’, ‘Highway to Hell’, ‘It’s A Long Way To The Top’, ‘High Voltage’ and many more from their numerous albums over their

four decade career.

The show’s authenticity is bolstered by the inclusion of two performers experienced in playing AC/DC’s music.

Fans of the beloved Aussie band will be stunned by Stuart Greenwood’s uncanny impersonation of Angus Young as he imitates the front man’s rock star style and technical guitar solos.

AC/DC’s original singer, Dave Evans, will also be performing on stage and reliving his rock god era in the 70’s when he played with the band in its early years.

Dave moved to Sydney when he was only 17 and teamed up with Angus and Malcolm Young, Colin Burgess and Larry Van Kriedt to create the trail blazing band, which went on to revolutionise rock music.

He performed at AC/DC’s first show at Sydney’s Chequers night club on New Year’s Eve 1973 and sang the vocals on debut single ‘Can I Sit Next To You Girl’.

After touring the country with his band

mates, Dave had an argument with their manager and quit the band.

Unable to abandon his love of music, Dave later returned to the stage when he joined Newcastle rock band ‘Rabbit’ and he now plays worldwide with ‘The Badasses’.

After giving the audience the rock experience of a lifetime, Dave will be meeting with fans to sign autographs, appear in photos and have a chat.

The combination of talented performers and an epic stage show makes ‘Long Way to the Top’ an unmissable show for any AC/DC fan who longs to relive the band’s glory era.

‘Long Way to the Top’ featuring original AC/DC singer, Dave Evans, will show at the EVAN Theatre, Panthers on Saturday, April 6 at 7.30pm. Tickets are $32. Bookings can be made by calling 4720 5555 or visit www. penrith.panthers.com.au.

interaction with fans.

After every show they perform, they go backstage and meet fans who have waited up to an hour in the past for the chance to have a chat, get an autograph and pose for a photograph.

“Without the fans, we got nothing, we don’t have a career without them, that’s the reality of it,” McAlister said.

One of Australia’s hottest, rising acts,

McAlister Kemp dominates the stage with their catchy country-rock hits and powerful stage presence. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to see this talented pair perform and meet with their fan base.

McAlister Kemp will play at Rooty Hill RSL on Saturday, March 23 at 8pm. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children. To book or for more information, call 9625 5500 or visit www. rootyhillrsl.com.au.

DOING THEIR COUNTRY MUSIC PROUD

A

fter a busy start to the year, awardwinning country band McAlister Kemp are taking their catchy tunes on the road with their ‘Country Proud’ tour.

The duo, made up of musicians Drew McAlister and Troy Kemp, will play at Rooty Hill RSL on Saturday, March 23.

Fans will get to experience the band’s lively stage presence as they rock out with all their hits including ‘All Kinds of Tough’, ‘Hell Yeah’ and ‘Hard Work’.

The band’s second album, ‘Country Proud’, was released last year to critical and commercial success and reached number one on the ARIA Country Album sales charts and number 18 on the mainstream album chart.

A successful year was topped off with an ARIA Nomination for Best Country Album and the welcomed news that the title song from ‘Country Proud’ was chosen as the theme song for the 2013 Tamworth Country Music Festival.

After the announcement that Billy Ray

Cyrus was unable to make it to CMC Rocks the Hunter, McAlister Kemp was chosen to fill the country megastar’s spot.

When asked about what made their music so popular, Blue Mountains local Drew McAlister said he felt that their songs struck a chord with people’s lives.

“The thing we set out to do when we first started this was write real songs for real people and that’s not something that we’ve wavered from,” he said.

Both seasoned performers, the men of McAlister Kemp love getting up on stage and delighting crowds with their high energy brand of country rock.

McAlister said that the best part about performing was when the audience got involved and sang along to the songs’ lyrics.

“It’s just a buzz, it’s like no other drug you never know... it never gets old,” he said.

The excitement doesn’t end when the amps switch off and the lights go down as McAlister Kemp are renowned for their

THE MAGIC OF CELTIC ILLUSION

F

or years audiences worldwide have been enchanted by the beauty and energy of Irish dance but now you won’t need to travel all the way to the Emerald Isle to experience it: the awe-inspiring ‘Celtic Illusion’ show is now touring Australia.

The show is a stage spectacular, which presents an eclectic mix of Irish dance with magic and will dazzle crowds at Penrith’s Evan Theatre in April.

‘Celtic Illusion’ was created by and stars Anthony Street, an acclaimed homegrown dancer and magician who has previously appeared as lead dancer in Michael Flatey’s ‘Lord of the Dance’.

He is joined by an Australian cast who, despite their lack of Celtic upbringing, manage to beautifully capture the up tempo spirit of Irish dance.

They will take the audience on a journey into a wonderful, magical world where seemingly impossible illusions are performed to authentic contemporary Celtic music

composed by Angela Little who also worked on Baz Lurmann’s film ‘Australia’.

A group of lively dancers will grace the stage in sync with the rousing beats of Little’s composition, with their bodies moving as one and creating thunderous rhythms that will have the audience tapping along with their feet.

The production strikes a fine balance between traditional Celtic music and contemporary Irish dance, with Street keeping music as the heart and soul of each routine and dance moves that push the boundaries, creating an animated, modern feel.

“It was important that I chose the right composer for this show. I believe it’s the music that takes the choreography to a more complete artistic level. Having Angela compose the music was the best move I made in making this show. Angela instinctively and creatively knew exactly what I had in my mind and I couldn’t be happier,” Street said.

The finely crafted music and choreography is enhanced by state of the art sound and

lighting which serves to highlight the mystery of the performance.

‘Celtic Illusion’ is forever growing and evolving, with fans who have seen the show multiple times still astounded at how it changes with each performance – new illusions are constantly being added in to amaze crowds and the choreography behind the routines are regularly tweaked and finetuned to make for an even greater display.

This is the ultimate in Irish themed entertainment, combining the best elements of dance, music, magic with superb performers and top rate sound and lighting to create an experience that is out of this world.

‘Celtic Illusion’ will show at the Evan Theatre, Penrith Panthers on Friday, April 5 at 7.30pm. Tickets are $36.50. For bookings or more information, call 4720 5555 or visit www. penrith.panthers.com.au.

veryone’s favourite action hero from the 90’s is back and ready to kick some criminal butt in ‘A Good Day to Die Hard’, the fifth instalment of the popular Die Hard franchise.

Bruce Willis steps back into the role of John McClane, and this time he’s travelling to Russia to reunite with his son Jack (Jai Courtney) who he hasn’t spoken to for years.

Jack has been working undercover as a CIA agent and is in serious trouble, getting arrested after an assassination.

He strikes a deal with the authorities and gets a lighter sentence in exchange for testifying against government whistleblower Yuri Komarov, who is the target of high-ranking official and all round baddie Viktor Chagarin.

Just in the nick of time on the court day, an explosion plotted by Chagarin’s henchmen is carried out giving the Americans and Komarov the chance to break free. They team up and lay low at a safe house, planning their next move to clear their names and secure justice in the classic Die Hard fashion.

his game is perfect for those who are looking for something that is challenging and full of adventure.

Set in a spectacular world with stunning graphics, ‘Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’ requires the player to go on quests to slay monsters. With over 200 stories to choose from and a wide variety of scary monsters to face up against, the game is packed with action and will entertain even the most experienced gamer.

Players can pick up exciting equipment and weapons and head out on adventures to seek victory against monsters – there’s even the somewhat gruesome option of using the slain enemies bones and hides to fashion new weapons and armour.

The features of the Wii U are used to their fullest extent on this game, providing a realistic and fun hunting experience for players.

Friends can also play together forming hunting parties of up to four players over the internet or by connecting with Nintendo DS players on a local wireless connection.

he moment that hordes of young twi-hards have waited for has finally arrived – the Twilight saga is finally at an end.

The film picks up where ‘Breaking Dawn – Part One’ left off, with Bella opening her eyes after having made the dramatic transformation into a glossy haired, curly lashed vampire.

She quickly settles back into life as a newlywed with heart throb Edward Cullen and his family and gets to finally meet their precociously intelligent daughter Renesmee who, due to being half-vampire, grows rapidly both mentally and physically.

Unfortunately, not everyone is delighted about the Cullens’ new bundle of joy – the Volturi, who act as the defacto vampire police, get tipped off about Renesmee and mistakenly believe that she is an immortal child; a vampire frozen in infancy. Much to Bella’s dismay, they come in pursuit of her daughter.

A surprisingly graphic fight scene ensues and the movie features a major twist but ends on a sweet, sentimental note that is a fitting end to this series.

MONSTER HUNTER 3 ULTIMATE [ Rated M ] Platform: Wii U

bout a decade ago, The Strokes were one of the biggest bands in the alternative music scene and their records ‘The Modern Age EP’ and ‘Is This It’ spawned hit songs that are still being played today.

Despite their early success, The Strokes have been absent from the charts for a while now but their latest release ‘Comedown Machine’ might be just the thing to propel them back into the limelight.

The album manages to stick to the band’s alt rock roots while also delving into a range of other genres to create a unique, fresh sound that should satisfy old fans while also gaining some new followers from Gen Y. The first single from the album, ‘All The Time’, was released last month creating buzz within the industry. While it’s a fairly typical track from The Strokes, it captures the band’s spirit well and is a catchy rock song.

Other offerings on the CD include ‘One Way Trigger’, which has also been released to the public and has an unusual, distinctive feel to it. A slower,

more ambient atmosphere is present on ‘Call It Fate, Call It Karma’ and ‘Slow Animals’. Overall, the fifth studio album from The Strokes is a well crafted record, which keeps their classic sound while also adding in other influences.

MAJOR OAK

THREE GENERATIONS BEHIND THIS RISING STAR

ith a history dating back just a dozen years, the Hunter Valley’s First Creek certainly qualifies in the up-and-coming category – and one of the Hunter’s most exciting at that.

With a family being involved in hotels in Newcastle and on the NSW South Coast from when he was a small child, Greg Silkman did a Science degree at Newcastle University, then with a partner bought Tamburlaine Winery in 1986.

10 years later Silkman decided to go out on his own and buy his own winery, Allanmere Wines. And the following year with several partners he bought land at Pokolbin and established First Creek Wines, with their first product hitting the shelves in 2001.

Today three generations of the Silkman family run the company, including Greg's daughter-in-law Liz Silkman who has been Chief Winemaker since 2009.

A just-released 2011 Winemaker's Reserve Chardonnay is a stand-out in their

portfolio, a truly classic Hunter Chardonnay with a beautifully seamless mix of lemon, rockmelon and white peach on the palate and a wonderfully intense creamy structure.

Pay $40 and enjoy with whole snapper oven-roasted with sliced potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and well-basted with lemon, garlic and parsley.

One to note: Mandala in Victoria’s Yarra Valley has released an interestingly soft and delicate 2011 Pinot Noir made from 80 per cent fruit from the company’s Yarra Junction vineyard and 20 per cent from its Dixon’s Creek vineyard.

Forever fastidious about their fruit, Mandala discarded 30 per cent of what they picked, retaining only the best 70 per cent for this wine that’s got soft raspberry, cherry and strawberry fruit flavours on the palate, nice acidity, fine oak tannins and earthy and savoury notes.

At $28, it’s a nice choice with roast duck served with a fruity sauce or chutney.

fter 35 years in the business, the Major Oak has the proud distinction of being Australia’s longest running comedy theatre restaurant. With its tasty food, party atmosphere and hilarious stage show, it’s no wonder that it has become such a success.

Tucked away on the second storey above Queen Street in St Marys, it would be easy for passersby to miss the Major Oak, in between the pubs and discount stores. Yet once you enter and go up the stairs, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to another world.

The Major Oak is modeled on the experience of a comedy cruise ship and decorated to match, with staff dressed up in stripes and Navy regalia. Although the show itself begins at 7.25pm, it’s a good idea to arrive early with the Island Bar open and taking orders from 6.30pm.

Their specialty is the frozen cocktails, which come with a cute light-up glass to take home. If you’re after great value then the drinks package is perfect – $12 gets you unlimited refills of beer, wine, soft drink or juice.

Lights are dimmed and the curtains go up as the show’s star performer Bobby (who coowns Major Oak with his wife Mary) welcomes everyone aboard and sets the tone with some hilarious and politically incorrect comedy.

The entertainment is a mixture of bold comedy skits and catchy musical tributes with

performers adopting the dress and attitude of idols including Robbie Williams, Pink, Cilla Black, Joe Cocker, Elvis Presley and more. The music is performed well with stunning vocals and a rocking four-piece band.

The show is divided into intervals, with each part being followed by a break wherein the next course is served.

Although set menus can often be difficult, each course has a few options available with something to suit all tastes so picky eaters can swap with a friend. The entrees on offer are a tasty serving of lasagne or salt and pepper calamari, with vegetarians able to fill up on a fresh, light salad.

The main meals don’t disappoint with generous portions and high quality choices.

The chicken mignon is delicious with crispy bacon wrapped around a tender chicken medallion. The other options include grain-fed tender porterhouse steak and chicken breast kiev with homestyle gravy. Non-meat eaters can indulge in a vegetable lasagne that’s packed with flavour.

Dessert is brought out after the show and definitely worth the wait. The profiteroles are delectable; topped with sweet icing and filled with rich, melt-in-your-mouth cream. Fruit lovers will enjoy the pavlova.

Step on board the Major Oak for an evening of laughter and good food, Saturday nights at 7.30pm. Bookings: 9623 4850.

If this news doesn’t get you dancing nothing will. Ellen DeGeneres has had her hugely popular daily talk show renewed until the 2016/17 season. Ellen is enormously popular in Australia, so no doubt Channel Nine will want to hold onto the rights to broadcast her show for as long as possible. Ellen’s due to arrive in Sydney this weekend to film a special Australian segment.

CHATTER ON THE BOX with Nathan Taylor

W

ith the Logies just around the corner, it has been revealed that for the second year in a row Australian television’s biggest event will have no host. It’s a well-known fact that hosting an awards show is never an easy task, so perhaps that’s why Channel Nine opted not to have a host, maybe because no one was willing to do it. It’s a real shame that in Australia networks can’t share talent for these sorts of things. In the US actors can appear on other network’s chat shows and award shows but not in Australia. No wonder talk show’s never work in this country because they have a limited amount of talent to chose from. The Logie Awards will air on Nine on April 7.

Why am I not surprised… ‘My Kitchen Rules’ has been renewed by Channel Seven for a fifth season, and is calling out for contestants. Team members must have a pre-existing relationship, be at least 18 years of age by May 1 this year and be an Australian citizen or have been a permanent resident for at least two years… oh and the rules forgot to mention – you probably should be good at cooking. Let’s hope producers continue to cast interesting contestants as they have done this year. However, can we lay off casting your typical good looking, talented dudes from Bondi? It seems every reality show always has to feature a couple from Bondi. Let’s hope next year a couple from Sydney’s west get a chance.

It may have been done by a sneaky advert during Sunday footy, but Channel Nine has announced ex ‘X-Factor’ judge Mel B as their first judge for the new ‘Australia’s Got Talent’.

The announcement is quite an interesting one due to the fact that the former Spice Girl will also judge ‘America’s Got Talent’ as well.

Don’t get me wrong Mel B is a great television personality but after years on ‘X-Factor’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars’, I’m over her and I

think Nine has wasted a brilliant opportunity to bring on someone different, high-profile and with plenty of recent experience.

I managed to catch a new show that premiered on A&E last week called ‘Counting Cars’ and I must say I was somewhat disappointed with its debut. The show features a Vegas icon in Danny ‘The Count’ Koker who acquires, restores and customises classic cars and bikes, and then sells them for profit.

‘The Count’ has featured in many Vegas reality shows including ‘Pawn Stars’ and ‘Criss

Angel Mindfreak’, so it was only a matter of time before he too got his own show, but it just didn’t quite do it for me. I found myself switching the channel fairly often during the premiere episode and probably won’t go back.

I did hear a whisper on a recent trip to Vegas that ‘The Count’ isn’t the friendliest reality star going around. Apparently he doesn’t donate to charity like his counterparts do, and if you visit his shop, Count’s Kustoms, you’re not allowed to talk to the man himself unless he talks to you first. ‘Counting Cars’ airs on A&E at 7.30pm on Wednesdays.

FANNING ISLAND: PARADISE FOUND IN KIRIBATI PACIFIC

by David Ellis

B

link while you're looking at a map of the Pacific and you'll miss it, this tiny dot whose few visitors will tell you its the closest they’ve come to Paradise

Found.

Fanning Island is part of the independent nation of Kiribati in the Line Islands, a remote group in the central Pacific that stretches 2,350 kilometres north-west to south-east, and yet contains just 503 square kilometres of land area.

But that tiny area is home to lagoons with picture-perfect turquoise waters, powder-white beaches, drooping palms – and the largelydrowned remains of a trading ketch that sank years ago, which now looks somewhat like a carefully-staged Hollywood prop.

Visitors to Fanning liken it to TV’s ‘Gilligan’s Island’, the South Pacific of the 19th century, and a kind of tranquil “Heaven on Earth” all rolled into one – indeed to the 2,500 islanders who live here, it is called Tabuaeran, which means “Heavenly Footprint”.

So why don’t people flock to this Pacific paradise?

It’s because it’s 1,600 kilometres south of Hawaii and is lucky to be visited by a

passenger ship once a month, and a cargo ship with a few adventurous passengers every couple of months.

But those who do get there do find it’s Paradise Found with that setting; no cars, just five trucks, twenty motor-scooters and 270 bicycles.

Bizarrely it’s also been subject to a German naval raid, and as part of the independent nation of Kiribati, uses Australian paper currency, and coins the same size and face value as Australia’s, and keeps these on par with the Aussie dollar.

And islanders’ favourite beer is VB, while the door on their miniscule 2.5m X 2.5m jail cell is from Alcatraz Penitentiary, complete with signage. How it got there is anyone’s guess.

Fanning Island was discovered and modestly named after himself by US trader Captain Edmund Fanning while sailing to China in 1798. 50 years later Scotsman William Greig bought it to grow coconuts, and as it was unoccupied, engaged workers and for himself a wife, from the neighbouring Cook Islands.

Greig’s heirs subsequently sold out to trading firm Burns Philp, who in turn sold Fanning in the 1980’s to the nation of Kiribati.

Cable & Wireless built a relay station on the island in 1902 for their cable that connected England to Australia by way of Canada, Fanning and Samoa, but in 1914 the warship Nurnburg sailed all the way from Germany, cut the cable, smashed much of the equipment in the relay station, and sailed away.

The cable was retrieved, repaired and used until 1964 when radio spelt the end of international cable communications.

During its pioneering days, the International Date Line sliced vertically through the Line Islands, and wiley workers realised they could walk off Mr Greig's plantation and sail across to the next island that was on the ‘other side’ of the Date Line – giving themselves two Saturdays and two Sundays off work every week.

To their indignation Mr Greig had the Date Line zig-zagged around them, ending their regular long weekends.

Fanning Islanders are welcoming hosts to visitors, with school and church groups performing dances and songs, and villagers selling necklaces and other souvenirs made from shells, driftwood, coconut palms and animal bones.

Visitors can also take village walks and bike rides, swim with the fish in the shallow lagoon, surf the big Pacific rollers, sun themselves on the beach and explore the coral reefs.

But the Kiribati Tourism Office readily points out that Fanning has no electricity, no telephones, no internet, no TV and no running water, and often runs out of imported food basics – with the islanders and any visitors relying on subsistence gardening and fishing until the next ship arrives.

There are three small guest houses, and three primary schools built with funds given mostly by visitors.

And when its one-cell jail is full, other felons on minor charges like riding their bicycles while drunk, are chained to the police station flagpole and their mates and family allowed to spend the day chatting with them.

Such is “island time”.

Holland America Line’s Westerdam and Seabourn’s Silver Spirit visit Fanning Island during voyages from the US mainland to the South Pacific Islands and Hawaii. For schedules see travel agents or visit www. kiribatitourism.gov.ki.

PENRITH WORKING TRUCK SHOW

T

he trucking community will unite to show off their machines at a day of family fun to raise funds for charity.

The 26th annual Penrith Working Truck Show will be held at the Museum of Fire on Sunday, April 7 and is sure to be a fun-filled day with attractions for everyone to enjoy.

It’s not all fun and games though, with all funds raised to be used by the Museum of Fire to preserve the heritage and legacy of our fir efig hters.

The Museum of Fire educates thousands of school children each year about fire safety and receives about 50,000 visitors annually.

It displays one of the best collections of firefighting memorabilia in the world.

The show’s main attraction is the truck display, where drivers can show off their working trucks and enter them into one or more of 25 categories to compete for trophies for the best in each class.

Competition is fierce with drivers spending hours cleaning and buffing their beloved

possessions in the hopes of being declared the winner in their class.

Although the Working Truck Show was once a meet-up for trucking enthusiasts, it has blossomed into a major corporate and family event which attracts up to 12,000 visitors each year.

Country music fans will be in heaven with acclaimed musicians performing their tunes live on stage including Adam Brand, Chelsea Basham, Darren Carr, Dan Murphy and Mark Shay. Other attractions include 12 thrill rides, free face painting, giveaways and food and drink stalls.

This event is ideal for a family day out, with every paying adult allowed to bring up to three children under 16-years-old for free.

The Penrith Working Truck Show will be held at the Museum of Fire on Sunday, April 7 from 8am to 5pm. Tickets are $30 for adults which includes three children under 16 for free. For more information, call 4731 3000 or visit www.museumoffire.com.au.

DAME KIRI’S MAGICAL NIGHT FOR CHARITY

P

enrith residents glammed up for a night of great music and charity on Friday, March 15.

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa enchanted audiences at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre at a gala charity benefit concert, the proceeds of which are to be donated to the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy organisation and Penrith Performing and Visual Arts.

The funds will support music programs for disadvantaged children, people with special needs and aged care recipients.

After receiving rapturous applause from the crowd for her performance, Dame Kiri was escorted into the foyer and introduced to some lucky local students from the Penrith Conservatorium of Music, while Chair of the PPVA, Peter Anderson welcomed the soprano to the Joan.

Dame Kiri herself took the opportunity to speak, thanking the PPVA, the Mayor of Penrith and Nordoff-Robbins for inviting her.

She also said that she was delighted to be performing at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre as she was mentored by Dame Joan in her early career. She said she would very much like to return to Penrith.

Almost 500 guests attended the event including politicians David Bradbury, Stuart Ayers and Marise Payne, Les Gock from the Australian band Hush and Malcolm Borland.
