14.01.2022 (Please excuse the copy and paste of a recent media release, but it has some good information in it... ) The Gallipoli to Armistice Memorial in Queens Park and the Maryborough Mural Trail have been named as finalists in the 2020 Australian Street Art Awards. The Gallipoli to Armistice Memorial has been shortlisted for the Best Monument o Memorial gong, while the Maryborough Mural Trail is a Best Street Art Trail contender.... The winners in all eight Australian Street Art Awards categories will be announced on Tuesday 2 March on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Awards Director, Liz Rivers, said The Awards showcase destinations like Maryborough that are using outdoor art to transform their street scapes, while educating Australians about the magnificent array of publicly-accessible art that can be found in every corner of the country. Maryborough born and bred Duncan Chapman was the first allied soldier to set foot ashore at Gallipoli, and the judges loved that the courageous role he played in history was the inspiration for what evolved into the impressive Gallipoli to Armistice Memorial. A bronze statue of Chapman is surrounded by towering weathered steel representations of the Gallipoli landscape and complemented by many other sculptures, plantings and audio immersions that bring World War I into sharp focus. Only metres from the memorial visitors will find evidence of the Maryborough Mural Project’s hard work. The rich natural setting and history of Maryborough, once one of Australia’s largest ports, has been brought back to life through the bright swirls and strokes of 39 pieces that make up the two-kilometre Trail. The judges said, We love that research has been conducted for each mural on a case-by-case basis, resulting in a high quality and highly enjoyable art trail that appears as if it will continue to grow into the future.

05.01.2022 Another great evening at Toastmasters. Tonight I did my ice breaker speech and even one impromptu (table topic) speech. I’m excited to grow this skill. Thanks to my colleague Paul Truscott for coming along, and also to Tara, for dropping that table topic surprise bomb on me at my first real meeting. If you are interested in developing your public speaking skills, come along and see if Toastmasters is for you. The club has people of all ages and from all walks of life. It’s a great way to spend a Wednesday night.
