From the Editors...

This month we kiss goodbye to freezing mornings and put the heaters away for another year… it’s time to get out and about and enjoy everything that the great

outdoors of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie has to offer.

They say music soothes the savage beast. But in the Hunter at this time each year, young people use music to rock the “black dog” of depression and the stigma that surrounds it as part of an initiative designed to promote mental health awareness.

���������������� ������ ��� ���� ���������������� �������������� �������� �� ���� this month’s feature article “Youth Rockin’ the Black Dog”

From ploughing lessons to lessons on iPads – a lot has certainly changed in the world of public schooling during the past 150 years. And that evolution of education will be highlighted by two

Newcastle schools this month as they celebrate their sesquicentenaries. Congratulations to both ���� ��������� ������������������������������� ������������� ������ �����

The long weekend in October sees the return of the annual “This is not Art” Festival (TiNA) and with it the Crack Theatre Festival which together have earned the reputation of

being one of Australia’s most exciting and longest-running experimental arts festivals. With over 150 performances and events to enjoy there really is something for everyone

���������������� ������� �������������� ������ ����

De-cluttering is said to have a positive effect on our well-being and the bonus is creating �� �����������!���� �����"��� �������� � ��#������ ����������������������������������� �����

to get started on a minimalistic approach to your new look home for Summer. Our friends at Insideout give us more than a few tips to a successful Spring cleanout!

If you need to declutter your brain then perhaps you need to e-Tox! Voicemail, email, SMS, Facebook.. it can all get a bit much sometimes can’t it? It seems I'm not alone,

so this month we talked to Brigid Walsh, General Manager of Golden Door Health Retreat & Spa, Elysia about technology addiction and how Golden Door assist

with the e-toxing process for their Health Spa guests.

all of our readers to get out and about and try some of these hotspots for yourselves. Enjoy!
