Shane Nicholson Reveals ‘Living In Colour’ Album
Shane Nicholson has previewed his next album ‘Living In Colour’ with another song digging into his past ‘And You Will Have Your Way’.
“In my 20s the world seemed basically full of possibilities”, says Nicholson in a statement. “I had this idea that there were elders to me that were learned, educated people, intelligent people, and they took care of everything. Then my 30s came along and I had kids. I started thinking about what the world would be like for them. By the time my 40’s arrived my old world-view had almost completely fallen apart, and I had reached peak cynicism.”

If you needed just one reason to pay a visit to Brisbane, GOMA, the Gallery of Modern Art boasts some serious bling. GOMA is exclusively playing host to one of the most stirring exhibitions of international art ever staged in Australia, ‘European Masterpieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.’ I ventured to GOMA just days after the exhibition’s June 11 opening and despite all of the hype, it still smashed my expectations. Installed at GOMA until 17 October, ‘European Masterpieces’ is a wonderfully escapist and intimate journey through five centuries of European painting from exquisite devotional scenes of the early Renaissance to fleeting glimpses of nature captured by the Impressionists.
SA concession cardholders to get free solar systems
South Australian Premier Steven Marshall has announced that 1000 concession cardholders in the state will have access to free solar systems.
The Premier announced the Switch for Solar trial program in May, enabling households to swap their energy concession payments for brand new rooftop systems.
The pilot will see 1000 homes in selected suburbs given a chance to trade their concession payments over ten years for a 4.4 kilowatt solar PV system installed at no cost.
Concession card holders currently receive $215.10 per year from the Cost of Living Concession and up to $231.41 per year towards their energy bill, totalling $446.51. By trading these for a solar system, they will save up to $665 more a year on their energy costs.

Police believe the girls hitchhiked or used public transport to cross into South Australia overnight and provided false information at a checkpoint.
The girls, aged 15 and 16, were reported missing to Victorian authorities and were found this morning after travelling to Goolwa, south of Adelaide, where they visited another girl.
All three had boarded a school bus to nearby Victor Harbor, with the bus stopped by police before it arrived at the local high school.
