Beach is the quintessential Australian play – a story of an Australian beach, from sunrise to sunset. Written by Timothy Daly and Directed by Michael McCall, Beach is a journey through events that have shaped our National dreams as well as nightmares. The play will be performed by second year Music theatre students and will run from the 14th to 20th of March.

On a balmy evening, we decided to head down to the Maylands Twilights Markets at The Rise. The markets are a new initiative which kicked off on the Australia Day weekend, and are a popular Saturday night event amongst locals and visitors from other suburbs.

There are plenty of food and drink offerings among the food stalls lining both sides of the grassy amphitheatre. Marcelitas’ Empanadas from the Twilight Hawker markets in the CBD were there and busy as usual, and The Amaizing Stall with its twist on Venezuelan and Australian fusion food was doing a great trade with their offerings of arepa bread, made from maize.

Candy Chambers has finally arrived in Perth for the 2014 Fringe Festival, after having wooed and won the crowds at popular festivals such as the Adelaide Feast and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. Just fresh from performing her show in Sydney, audiences in Perth are lucky to have Candy perform as part of the Fringe Festival.

Director David Paul Jobling is the man behind the curtains - actually the man in the front row as he and Candy bounced off each other playfully during the show.

Tracks at Luna - An Epic Journey across the Australian Desert

Details: Written by: Nita Teoh; Published: 21 February 2014

The movie "Tracks" will soon be showing at Luna Palace Cinemas in Leederville and Fremantle. Tracks is about one woman’s arduous journey through the dessert. The idea starts out as a dream, and the movie follows Robyn Davidson as she makes her dream into a reality.

She is faced with adversity right from the beginning – naysayers who don’t think that she can pull off her idea, not enough money to make her dream come true, and being female, young and at times naïve with dealing with the world.
