Unlike a lot of the refinery and oil industry fires recently this was set off by an earthquake.
All in the Name of Liberty
The price is eternal vigilance. Liberty in Danger. Some find it in danger, some see liberty in danger right now. We demand liberty, where our desires are our own, not the manufacture of some marketing or political brainwasher. We examine some of the threats - the way that words like freedom and democracy are used to name their enemies! And we aim to enjoy our liberty and have some fun.

Bruce of Woolloomooloo
It's great to have seen brush turkeys recolonising urban areas in the past couple of decades with the expansion of tree cover and since dogs and cats haven't been running loose like they once did.
This is Bruce, Urban Regeneration Faculty member at the University of Woolloomooloo

Smoked Salmon at Petersham Bowlo
Kim Salmon and his band launched their latest album last night at Petersham Bowling Club. Kim is as great as ever and they played some old and some new, and for an encore lead the audience in a rousing rendition of 'I'm a Dropout" - originally a Scientists song written by Kim Salmon and James Baker, but never recorded
