Is he taking a break 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: after term three? What's that? That's the longest term of 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: the year, isn't it big? Ten week hikes? So is 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: she ready for the break? Yes? 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: Yes, they have a school disco last Thursday and that 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: was a nice way to finish off the term. But yeah, 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 2: definitely tired, definitely needing some unwined and some I guess 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: at their speed they need some activities. 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: Well, Q another edition of Council's What's On Guide, and 11 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: I've picked up a copy from the EA Network Center 12 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: over the weekend. It's given off white lotus vibes, it's vibrant, 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: it's green, and it's packed with what twenty seven events 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: over the next fortnight. 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe so. Yeah, the teams put a lot 16 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: of effort into making different events, different activities. How it 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: links into a theme, how it links to the exhibitions 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: that we're holding at the Atge Museum. What we've got on. Yeah, 19 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: it's just a really cool way of clicking everything that 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 2: parents or grandparents can do with children for really low cost, 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 2: both predominantly free it's. 22 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: Such a neat idea as always. What are some of 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: your pecks? 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, trying to work out which ones. I really 25 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: love the pixel sculpture thing at the Outgular Museum. That's 26 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: really cool because it links to Bobby Kurb's exhibition that's 27 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: going on at the moment. 28 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: So what is a pixel sculpture? 29 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's little blocks and the children get to 30 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: make a sculpture and take it home with them. 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: So that's really Minecraft kind of. So it is because 32 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: Minecraft's really popular. 33 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: Oh okay, it's like Minecraft. I thought Minecraft was to 34 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: do with TVs and you know, computers and stuff. But anyway, 35 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: this is this is hands on creation of a sculpture. 36 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: In real life. 37 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: Yes, movie, oh my gosh, because movies are real. But anyway, 38 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: that's a side dunk it for Plunket. AA Networks Center 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: has backing Plunket and ended doing promotion while also fundraising. 40 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: All the funds go to Plunket, which is really cool. 41 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: Just follows on from a A doing a really fantastic 42 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 2: fundraiser for the Knser Society. So I'm really stoked that there. Yeah, 43 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: continued to look at ways that everyone can participate in 44 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: for a good course. So that's really awesome. 45 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: I see here, so you pay your two dollars and 46 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: you get some shots at a hope. I thought it 47 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: might have been a dunk in the pool. 48 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: No, it so really positive. We've got reddish seed heads, 49 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 2: which is something clearly you make and then you take 50 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: them away. So that's going to be a cool thing 51 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: that lasts longer than just the school holidays that's at 52 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: the library. We've got for the older adults, we've got sorry, 53 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: older children, young adults. We've got remote control car racing 54 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: that's going on as well. So yeah, the holiday program, 55 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: there's just so much. Also, we've got different things from 56 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 2: friendship bracelets to advertising and promoting chaplind Full Senate Reserve, 57 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: which is a free walk that some people know about 58 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: and love, but not everyone. So we've put it in 59 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: the What Song Guide just to promote opportunities for families 60 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: to get out there and enjoy. 61 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: Our fantastic district primarily centers around our three facilities of 62 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: the Art gallery, museum, the library, and the EA Network Center. 63 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: And for the most part it's free. 64 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: Right absolutely, yep. No, we've like to keep things as 65 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: cheap as possible. Sometimes there is a small charge, But yeah, 66 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: in the book or online. So if you haven't got 67 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: your hands on a Whatson Guide, because they are like 68 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: hotcakes running out the doors at times. 69 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: You're telling me that I've got some premium real estate 70 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: in my hands. 71 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: You do you have some premium real estate?
