Ray danes Elixir !!!

It has been a little while again guys! Apologies! But it IS time for our SUNDAY SESH with a shout out to a LOCAL MUSO!

This week is the beautiful Sunny Ray! I recently had the absolute pleasure of meeting and hearing this divine woman at Elixir Bar and we can't wait to have her back! Her songs are simply stunning, heart felt and soul touching.

Here is a little something about her:

Sunny Ray grew up on the rural west coast of Auckland, New Zealand. She began writing songs at the tender age of 14 and soon after was performing on stage. She used her musical passion to sustain herself while travelling 19 countries. Travelling influenced her style and encourage her to be multi-lingual in her performance.

Sunny Ray creates soul sustaining heartfelt music to sooth and inspire. Filled with truth, beauty and courage that casts a vision bigger than a lifetime. Her smooth soul/folk/roots style and unique voice and message, is a catalyst for change and emotional healing.

She recently record her second Album "Of Womb and Will" and she has now relocated to Cairns, Australia. Sunny recently completed a tour of the Tablelands FNQ.

2018 is a year of promise with upcoming performances at a number of Australian festivals including Sprout Festival, Kuranda Roots, Townsville cultural festival, Coalescence, Tropical bloom, and more to be announced.

Be sure to listen to her latest album and keep your ears open for new releases.

It's time for our Sunday Sesh! . . .

"Out of the depths of Western Queensland a new rock band had emerged. Their name... VENICE ON FIRE.

Citing the likes of Violent Soho, The Smashing Pumpkins and Rise Against as influences, Venice On Fire is made up of:
Tom Gillespie - guitar, vocals
Jarrod Hall - bass, vocals
Darcy Cavanough - Drums

Formed in the rural Queensland town of Roma in late 2014 the band burst onto the scene in a big way with their debut EP "Home" in early 2016. Now over a year later the boys are kicking it up a notch yet again with their debut album "Tempt A Saint" released in June 2017.
The band has also left their beloved home of Roma, making Toowoomba their new base of operations. Venice On Fire are a guaranteed fun time who love to make music their way."

They are an awesome band, be sure to check them out & watch for gigs near you! :D

Happy Thumbs Up Thursday! Today, we are praising the Cairns Regional Council for the up keep & allowance of Goomboora Park located on Shale Street in Brinsmead! As well as all of their hard work at the many different parks & garden areas around our beautiful city.

The many facilities here include:
BBQs, Drinking water, Dogs off leash areas, Picnic shelters & tables, Playground, Toilets, Beautiful Walking tracks & more, which are many reasons for it being a favourite amongst locals & their four legged friends.

You are surrounded by open grassy spaces, forests, shady large trees, picnic areas & swimming holes. The great adventure playground features a flying fox and a rope play system too for the kiddies :D There are suitable swimming areas for the little ones & your dogs can enjoy a cool off too. But don't forget your insect repellent as there can be mosquitoes in the area.

There are designated off-leash areas for your well trained dogs to run around & make friends. Goomboora Park is a great place for a party or to bring bikes for the children to ride around. There are also a few tracks where you can really feel like you are in a forest.

This park is closed from 7:00pm through until 6:00am daily so be sure to check it out & have a beautiful time in this family friendly dog park. Thank you to all of the people that use it appropriately & to the Cairns Regional Council workers that keep it well maintained & beautiful! As well as all of the other parks & garden areas around our city :D See you out there!
