We also had The Kebab (officially the Ore Obelisk), but it was removed for maintenance years ago, and recently forever replaced with an astronaut, unfortunately.

In Perth, WA we have the Cactus, the official name is “Grow Your Own”, but it’s definitely The Cactus.

Totally agree with the music point. ‘Everything I It’s Right Place’ still takes me back to the creek of neon organisms I was floating along. It lulled me into that place quite nicely.

Thanks heaps.

Community/College Radio is such an under utilised source IMO. No pay to play artists. Often a focus on local artists. Gigs and events focussed on the community. It’s the best. Do you have radio station recommendations?

No, unfortunately not. Was just wondering. Good job solving the riddle. I found it on their website, but it has only added to my track record of sucking at riddles.

What book was the invite in?

Still haven’t listened to the new Cure album. But Romance is probably my AOTY. Nobody Loves You More is great.

Yes to Hercules Returns. I let people know that if they’re going to watch it to stick through the first 20 minutes. It’s pretty terrible at the start.
