🖼️ “Future Gaze” by Kate Shaw

Every time I've visited Bairnsdale it's only been long enough to get some petrol and find a bain-marie with a dim sim in it and maybe drop in at the newsagent because like a lot of country towns they still have one. But if you go one block over and walk up the Mitchell River you'll see this tree and it's even better than a dim sim.

You know how sometimes there's that amazing part of the song where it drops down to just bass and drums and maybe handclaps? And you wish it would last for longer? We’re going to do that for the entire gig.

There’ll be some of my songs (but with real drums!) but mostly other people’s songs that (hopefully) work with just bass and drums. Wesley Anne front bar, Saturday 28th February from 6pm. Free.

The EastLink hotel is a sculpture designed by Callum Morton. It was unveiled on 27 November 2007. It is situated along EastLink, a toll road located in Victoria, Australia. This is the other, much less interesting, harder to get to, and frankly disappointing side that doesn’t face the road.

Undefeated after 25 years and still sounding somehow futuristic.

Edinburgh 2002, but somehow I didn't get around to developing the film until January 2020.

Something really quite unusual is happening at 325 Brunswick St. What used to be China Bar is now, after being closed for renovation, called Sabai Sabai, which according to the menu is a Thai restaurant whose only other location is in Shepparton (which is 179km away). The decor has gotten a bit more floral and the ducks aren’t hanging so prominently, but in an impressive reuse of signage the backlit menu above the kitchen is still there, and it doesn’t take much flicking through the Sabai Sabai menu to realise that it is the same as the China Bar menu, plus a few Thai dishes. The numbers on the backlit menu no longer correspond to the items in the printed menu, so if you used to waltz in and order “R16 and the clock’s tickin’ dude”, that might not work anymore. China Bar Fried Rice has been renamed, understandably, to Sabai Sabai Fried Rice. Somehow Sweet and Sour Chicken with Fried Rice is on the menu twice now, which feels like a pretty strong endorsement.
Tonight the plot, like so much chicken and corn soup, thickened. Overhearing a patron utter the magic words “China Bar”, one of the staff brought over, that’s right, the China Bar menu. I really want to ask the staff what exactly is going on here but haven’t yet figured out how to phrase the question.

For what it’s worth it was an instrumental soprano saxophone cover of (Everything I Do) I Do It for You.

I’m from Melbourne and enjoy saying things like “there’s no good coffee north of the Tropic of Capricorn, instead there’s crocs and cyclones and mid-strength beer” but I should stop saying it, turns out they have all of the above.
