That's right, Julia Gillard was so moved by the Impossible Orchestra's incredible attempt to play for 24 hours non-stop to raise money for Care Aware, that she recorded an exclusive message for us to use. Check it out here!
It is a big weekend right around Australia, and here's a mere sampling of the wonderful things on offer. As for us, we'll be just chillin' with our girl J-Gillz. Perhaps.
MELBOURNE: Impossible Orchestra
The Impossible Orchestra is taking to the stage to raise awareness for carers. Normally accustomed to playing for short periods, they will attempt the somewhat impossible feat of playing for a full 24 hours, with guest conductors including Shaun Micallef, Colin Lane, Josh Thomas, Francis Greenslade and - oh, look, Charlie Pickering! It begins at 5pm Saturday and finishes... well, you can work that out for yourself. There's still time to register for your free tickets so get clicking!
From the producers of the FRINGE WORLD Festival, Rooftop Movies returns to Northbridge for an extended Perth summer season. The pop-up venue runs until the end of April, and from Sunday to Wednesday this week they're celebrating Halloween with a run of classic horror flicks. BOO! (Did I scare you?)
