17.01.2022 Throwing it back to a balmy night in October with Jessie K, Patsy Coleman and Casii Williams for Mums on Tour at the Base Cafe. Calling on their life experiences, the Desert Divas alumni showed us their musical palette of country, blues, reggae, folk and soul.

15.01.2022 Musical Meditations was a truly beautiful night of song and storytelling amongst the ancient Ghost Gums of the Todd Riverbed. A moving and healing evening by Lucia Swift, Christopher Brocklebank and Pin Rada. Photos by Oliver Eclipse Photography.

15.01.2022 A truly stunning night featuring the Alice Springs World Chamber Orchestra live amongst nature at the Alice Springs Desert Park for Desert Festival 2020. This was really something! Delicious snaps by Oliver Eclipse Photography.
