Coral Rekindling Venus  is major work for fulldome digital planetariums by acclaimed artist Lynette Wallworth.

It is an extraordinary journey into a mysterious realm of fluorescent coral reefs, bioluminescent sea creatures and rare marine life, revealing a complex community living in the oceans most threatened by climate change.

Lynette Wallworth is an Australian artist whose practice spans video installation, photography and film. Often working in series or meditations on one theme, her measured pace gently insists that patient observation might lead to layers of understanding between ourselves, others and the natural environment.

Her work has been presented at the Auckland Triennial, Melbourne International Arts Festival and the Sydney festival as well as being exhibited internationally from Arnolfini, The Young Vic and Festival d’Aix en Provence in Europe to New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in the United States.

The amazing Black Caviar stretched her race record to 21-0 and surely it has to be official now that there’s no more races left for her in Australia or anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere.

In her 21st win she took the G1 $500,000 Goodwood Handicap at nothing other than a track gallop.

Luke Nolen sat rock still and let her do her usual, as she blitzed the field in an underwhelming but easy time of 1.10.23 . We’re Gonna Rock took second place with Stirling Grove back in 3rd.

Royal Ascot beckons and a showdown with Frankel, the ”best” racehorse in the world awaits. A recent interview with trainer Peter Moody would suggest that he thinks otherwise and there’s really only one way to settle the argument.

It can’t happen soon enough for this punter!

If you haven’t heard of these guys before, Last Dinosaurs are a five-piece indie band from Brisbane, Australia and they look about 16 years old. If they are, power to them because they make some sweet music.

Honolulu is a track taken from their début long player ”In A Million Years” which was released this year on Dew Process and was heavily supported by Australian station Triple J.  It’s quite the trend setter Down Under and has been the catalyst for many an Oz band’s success.

Honolulu sounds like summery and shimmering and is reminiscent of some of the guitar work on Wu Lyf’s debut album ”Go Tell Fire To The Mountain”.

Last Dinosaurs make music to make you feel good even if , according to the bad themselves, ”virtually every song” on the album had been inspired by an ex-girlfriend.

Have a listen to the track and if it grabs your attention, why not check out the band’s website?
