I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to see some great theatre, thanks to ozbabyboomers.com.au I don't see as much anymore, sadly, as I've moved out of Sydney. But when the opportunity comes I grab it! And thank goodness I grabbed this. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. http://www.ozbabyboomers.com.au/new_site/theatre/2018/08-18/almighty/almighty.html

The Dressmaker, Rosalie Ham
I should have written this review before seeing the movie, because that is now what is playing in my head when I think of this book.

What’s Up, Tiger Lily? (1966)
In 1993, a silly Australian movie came out called Hercules Returns. It was one of the stupidest ideas I'd ever seen in my life, and absolutely the most hilarious and, I thought at the time, innovative. The flimsy premise of the film is that young film buff Brad McBain (David Argue) has renovated an old … Continue reading What’s Up, Tiger Lily? (1966)
