TULLY SINKS THE BOOT IN!

March 14th 2008 06:43
In Australia we’ve become accustomed to passing through small towns as they pay tribute to their local area’s main attributes by creating massive sculptures as some sort of weird and wonderful homage to their community. Coffs Harbour has ‘The Big Banana’, Nambour has ‘The Big Cow’ and almost every small city around the country has some other larger than life monument on the edge of town to attract the tourists to their little town.

Camille Hardman and John Fink decided that it was time to document this ‘growing’ trend throughout Australia by traveling along the east coast of Australia.

FILMINK AWARDS 2008

March 13th 2008 06:43
Last night members of the Australian Film Industry turned out for an awards ceremony with a difference. The State Theatre played host to the annual FILMINK Awards where surprisely very few of those nominated were available to collect thier coverted awards.

Hosted by Brendan Cowell (Love my Way, Noise), while the evening didnt follow the profesional approach by more serious ceremonies the likes of the Oscars or the AFI's, the evening turned out to be quite the success. With a tongue in cheek impersonation of the new Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd one of the highlights of the evnings entertainment and Paul Mac and Bertie Blackman performing for the near capacity audience towards the end of the evening, the FILMINK Awards continues to grow and improve each year
