Don’t give up if you’re in the @V_and_A Bowie queue. I was in it for almost 25 hours and just got two tickets for the exact times I wanted for our trip to the UK in December! Woo hoo!

It was inspiring. Must get back into my research. Barbara is an excellent researcher and tells it so well.

Once in a blue moon on a Sunday I am woken by the unmistakable sound of hot air balloons over my house - they really are magnificent #hotairballoon

None on this list appeal - anything Painters & Dockers is my go to - Melbourne is Australia’s music capital, but what songs immortalise the city? theage.com.au/culture/music/…

Have you used Trove to research women’s history?
We would love to hear from you about what you have found in Trove about iconic trail-blazing women throughout Australian history, or women others might not have heard of that have done amazing things.

Two days before #Christmas in #Melbourne and we start the day with delicious fog (and a near empty train, bliss).

Pretty sure 1st time I saw @PaulieStewart & Painters & Dockers was supporting the Cramps in 1986, then I was hooked. Had to get contact lenses cause kept losing my glasses at gigs at the Corner Hotel. Legends. theage.com.au/culture/music/…

One tiny entrance, lots of young people, handful of security guards, one of whom bashed my 15 year old daughter on the arm and told the kids not to hold onto each other, which I’d expressly told her to do, to stick with her friend for safety - piss poor & dangerous 😡
