Look out for Cane Trains, JL Kelly Theatre Events and Marketing Survey, Green Waste Vouchers and Upcoming Events

Look out for Cane Trains

The 2023 crushing season is right around the corner, which means cane trains and farming machinery will shortly be on the roads.

Residents are reminded to approach all crossings with caution and to look out for cane trains.

Not all crossings in the district have flashing lights to indicate a train is coming, so please be vigilant.

Parents are encouraged to remind their children of the importance of safety during this time.

Good luck to all the crews in the harvesting, milling and farming sectors.

May you have a productive and incident free season.

JL Kelly Theatre Events and Marketing Survey

How do you find out what is going on at the JL Kelly Theatre?

Council wants to understand how our community, and patrons of the JL Kelly Theatre are finding out about what is on at the Theatre and invite the community to participate in the Theatre's Events and Marketing Survey by scanning the QR Code or visiting www.bit.ly/45oPs3k.

Your participation will assist Council to continue to grow patronage by targeting marketing and ensuring the Theatre continues to be a welcoming and vibrant community asset.

John Farnham: Finding the Voice (M)

John Farnham: Finding the Voice tells the untold story of an Australian music icon.

In this first authorised biopic, we follow Farnham's life from the quiet suburbs of Melbourne to '60s pop fame, through incredible highs and lows, and ultimately to record-breaking success as 'Australia's Voice'.

John Farnham was 38 years old when Whispering Jack was released.

Nobody ever questioned that Farnham could sing, but the challenge to find his artistic voice and become Australia's most trusted and beloved performer took half a lifetime.

Whispering Jack is still the highest selling Australian album of all time, and this powerful documentary tracks the personal and public journey that has made Farnham Australia's greatest and most beloved musical artist.
