HAMMERING THE JAZZ CLUB
Great session at the Fremantle Jazz Club with delightful Libby Hammer today. No matter how high quality recorded music is, it can never replace live performances.
Can someone please change the colour on that awful cold spotlight you put on the faces of the main performers, so I can get better photos. Thank you!
KULCHA INDONESIAN FESTIVAL
The Indonesian Festival at Kulcha on Sunday afternoon was a feast for the eyes and the soul. Beautiful, colourful dancers accompanied by soothing, kind music, ensured a relaxing afternoon. The mee, rice, curry and sate were delicious!

MORE OF THE MOORE&MOORE
The Moore&Moore cafe is part of the Moores Building Art Centre in Fremantle’s Henry Street, in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Notre Dame University, and is one of my favourite hang-outs in town. I love the atmosphere there and the lovely multicultural staff. The coffee and food are constantly good, and there is live music several times a week in the mornings. This Sunday morning the Jo Black Trio played in the courtyard.

A GOOD SUNDAY TO BE OUT AND ABOUT
Today is a good day to be out and about and participate in what Fremantle has to offer.
Start with a visit to the FARMERS MARKET at the South Fremantle Senior High School in Lefroy street. Buy fruit and vegies, drink good coffee, and have a bacon&egg roll. From there move to the MOORE&MOORE CAFE in Henry Street where the JO BLACK TRIO will be playing in the courtyard from 10 am on.
At 12 KULCHA will come alive with the INDONESIAN FESTIVAL all afternoon. Music, Dance, Food!
Sill energy left? The W.A. JAZZ CLUB has Libby Hammer on from 4-7 pm on the 2nd floor of the Navy Club, corner High and Henry Streets.

THERE IS HOPE!
It is so heart warming to hear good stories about generous and caring people, especially when the media would like us to believe that the world is a bad and dangerous place to live in.
This morning I got some tyres put on my old bomb at the Bridgestone Tyre place next to the Norfolk Hotel in Fremantle and overheard owner Dave telling how a refugees family at his children’s school had problems getting the kids to school, and do shopping, because they had no transport, so Dave simply decided to buy them a second hand car.
As I was in the workshop he was struggling to get a public servant at a department to allow him to be the mediator to transfer the car ownership, because the new owners had language problems. All that while running a busy business.
How generous and inspiring is that!

EASY ON THE EYES
The artists groupAC4CA has completed another wall in Cantonment street, in the centre of Fremantle and made the city a more colourful and creative space to enjoy.There are several walls around town these artists have beautified. I wished they’d paint that eye-sore Woolstores building, even as just an interim measure.

PROTECT THE KIMBERLEY RALLY
The Kimberley is one of Australia’s most amazing wilderness regions, and is home to many endangered marine species. Due to it’s isolation and inaccessibility this environment has been preserved in time, remaining almost untouched. Until now…
A major liquefied natural gas processing plant is in the advanced stages of planning for the Kimberley coast in the far north-west of Western Australia by Woodside Energy Ltd.
If this proposal goes ahead this environment will be under serious threat.
