Still smiling from our Bizarre Newcastle event last Thursday night as part of New Annual. We couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you to our performers Steve Abbott, Christa Hughes, Maynard and Pucko. Thanks to all out storytellers and thank you to all of you who packed the venue, laughed and cheered. We were so proud. We didn’t get many photo, so please upload some here. The first film will be out on Friday and we can’t wait. Thank you New Annual for all the cool things you brought to our city. GO THE KNIGHTS.

Yesterday we had the unforgettable experience of going underground at Chain Valley Colliery. Nothing prepares you for spending 5hrs filming, 200m below Lake Macquarie. We've been filming our 3 part documentary "How Coal Shaped Newcastle" for a year and this was always the dream. We were about to finish interviews for the project and then we got the call from Delta Electricity. All the boys and girls, above and below the ground were so nice and accommodated us with such warmth. We can't tell this story in a balanced way without talking to people whose mortgages depend on mining. These films will be out early November and we can't wait to show them to you. Cheers Todd Biscuits and everyone at the mine for making this happen and thank you to Mining & Energy Union for all your help.
