Join us for a captivating exhibition about the forgotten legacy of the Afghan cameleers and their pivotal role in Australia's history. A story often overlooked but undeniably significant.The Afghans and their camels were requested by the British empire to come to the new colony in 1860 as they needed help bringing the scattered colonies of NSW, VIC, QLD, WA etc. together.  At the time, cars were nonexistent, and horses couldn't withstand the intense desert heat. Discover the extraordinary journey of the Afghan cameleers, the hidden heroes whose contributions shaped the foundation of Australia. Step into their world and uncover the stories of these remarkable individuals who braved the outback, bridging cultures, becoming the postal system, the electoral system, and the 'ships of the desert' saving lives, delivering food, water, and trade goods. Their remarkable contributions accelerated the formation of Australia by 50 years, making the Afghan Cameleers unsung heroes in our nation's history.Join us for a captivating exhibition that brings to light the forgotten legacy of the Afghan cameleers and their pivotal role in Australia's history.General Admission is free, you do need to register at the time you can attend, as those that register gain priority entry.

There is a question at the heart of Faith Crisis Pt 1, the third album from Sydney’s emotive indie trio Middle Kids. Over 13 propulsive, ecstatic and gorgeous tracks, songwriter and vocalist Hannah Joy attempts to tease out the question of belief; the breaking of it, and how it is rebuilt. Co-produced by Tim Fitz and Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee), Joy and bandmates Fitz and Harry Day masterfully express the sensation of being overwhelmed, swept up and dragged down in songs that exalt and lift you higher.Featuring a collaboration with Gang of Youths frontman Dave Le’aupepe, Faith Crisis Pt 1 is brimming with yearning, angst, pop brightness, belief in love and reassurance that even from the bottom, it’s possible to believe in beautiful things. Middle Kids‘ last album Today We’re The Greatest won Best Rock Album at the 2021 ARIA Awards. Released at the height of the pandemic, the album garnered the band several US TV show performances including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and The Late, Late Show with James Cordon.Middle Kids first gained attention in 2017 with their debut single, ‘Edge Of Town’ and their debut album, Lost Friends, which won Triple J’s Best Australian Album Award in 2018. The success of their albums has also earned the band an international touring profile which has included supporting shows with the likes of Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, War on Drugs and Cold War Kids and festivals such as The Governors Ball, Lollapalooza, Osheaga Festival and many more.
