This month’s cover features Award-winning Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe’s Indoor Garden Party is coming to Coffs Harbour on the 12th and 13th of May, and after the success of his recent shows in Coffs, we know this will be big! We chatted with Russell about music, the local Arts industry, and what he loves about performing and working in his own community. Inside this edition, we feature Locky Miller. Locky grew up here on the Coffs Coast playing rugby league for the Coffs Harbour Comets and the Sawtell Panthers, and this year he’s playing fullback for the Newcastle Knights in the NRL after debuting with the Cronulla Sharks last year. He will be stepping out for the Knights on home turf on the 20th of May at C.Ex stadium in Coffs against his old team the Sharks, so it will be an exciting game for him!
