"Whibayganba
Whibayganba is a place of cultural significance within the local landscape of Mulubinba.
Whibayganba was an island. Its beginnings and traditions a complex cultural narrative. Stories originating from a past where ancestral beings created Country, and shaped the law and relations between all living things. Their memories are retained, etched, and spoken of in Country, a legacy that links the Dreamtime with the present.
Local lore tells of a great kangaroo concealed in the island who would thump his tail causing earthquakes.
The island was originally a closed off site, surrounded by rocks and turbulent waters. The strong gale force of the winds that batter the island enabled this place to be a suitable refuge to confine a giant kangaroo. The kangaroo remained hidden in Whibayganba.
In 1855 the top of the island was lopped off by the English, and in 1846 they had completed the construction of a breakwater that was started in 1818. The breakwater attached the island to the mainland creating open access to Whibayganba, access that had been denied for thousands of years.
The alterations are against Aboriginal principles of respecting country, maintaining balance and equilibrium and ensuring protections and conservation of sacred places."
'That's a sad story.' I thought, surely one of many very familiar ones around the country.

15yrs ago the Pasha Bulker ran aground in Newcastle. So weird that it was so long ago. I vividly remember we lost power for like a week after the storm that pushed the Pasha Bulker onto the beach. Time keeps passing.

What I’ve been up to with my film crew at Uni
For the week 8 Lectorial discussed the costumes and how we would approach filming the short film. After the week 7 Lectorial Mason, Ethan, Jess and I created a group chat on messenger with Ethan creating a sample of the music on Saturday the 24th of April. Storyboards were posted on messenger, with ideas for film titles being thought of, unfortunately, Jess mentioned that she could not come to the week 8 Lectorial because she was sick.
In the Lectorial, the tutor showed some short films and asked the students to talk about what techniques were used and pick a favourite short film. I think we all collectively chose the one featuring the drummer, I wish I could remember the title of that short film. Another group who asked for our help for one of their scenes in week 7 told us that it would be a climactic battle scene at the Pasha Bulker, where our group would appear in this scene to add some numbers to the battle to increase the scale. After agreeing to help and talking about the short films, we finalized our story and would later discuss the safety requirements of shooting the film. Once more storyboards were made, Mason discussed that he would make a risk assessment to talk about foreign objects in the sand as we would be shooting at Nobbys Beach, we thought of bringing sandals to the beach just in case. Mason finished off the risk assessment the following week. The other group mentioned that they would shoot their film around our schedule if they happened to be filming at Nobbys, though they did mention that they would be filming in the daytime, while we will be filming at sunset and nighttime. Overall, we fully realized our idea for the short film, we might tweak it a bit, but we all know our roles and jess should get the onesies delivered to her soon.

This ship is 400 m long. In 2007 the Pasha Bulker, a 225 m long ship, got stuck on a beach in Newcastle in a storm, and it took them four weeks to get out.
person who will lose their job: the guy who had to try and steer a massive cargo ship with no power in a sandstorm
person who should lose their job: the guy who decided to build a cargo ship longer than the suez canal is wide without considering the obvious corner case (or more likely, the guy who dismissed the possible corner case as unlikely and the profits worth the risk)

NEWCASTLE FRENCH HOT BREAD
271-273 Hunter Street, Newcastle NSW • $5
What better location to kick off a pork roll review website than the Gold Coast of New South Wales, the unsung dame of the untamed north, none other than Newcastle itself. A tiny coastal gem that drew the attention of coal hungry companies in the early twentieth century, Newy is now making a name for itself for its beautiful sun-drenched residents, constant top notch weather, and time-honoured swimming spots that will put to shame any $20 Kmart blow up kiddie pool you bought to lounge in one hot afternoon and forgot to empty before the mosquitoes started breeding.
The lovely folk at French Hot Bread on ‘Hunnah’ Street don’t really know how to up the ant from Slowvacastrian. However, what they lack in pace they make up with the quality of the bread. You know you’re at a good Vietnamese bakery when on a daily basis they’re churning out fresh loaves crustier than a fifteen year olds keyboard. Pate´ was salty and consistent, mayo was flavourless and slippery as it should be. The pork? At times it felt quite stringy and almost beefy, raising more questions than a grommet out of water. Yes, they’re called pork rolls, but the most intrinsic ingredients are the veggies - look mama, you raised ya boy right. The pickled carrot could’ve been left in the juice a good while longer and the cucumber was unpleasantly warm.
Coriander was perhaps a little too heavy, but of course it’s an absolute essential so please pipe down Facebook. Last but never ever least is chilli, but hold my clutch and drop a second gear one-wheeler in Dad’s Commodore past Broadmeadow station at 2am, because the ladies at French Hot Bread create the strongest burner this side of the F3. These pork rolls had more pieces of chilli than Bar Beach boardwalk has fitness bloggers on a Sunday morning, and boy were they hot. Not expecting to reach a personal level at such an early stage in this blog, but I was on the Ibis Hotel porcelain the next morning for longer than the Pasha Bulker was stranded at Nobby’s Beach.
VERDICT: If you’re hankering for one, there aren’t many other options. Ask for less chilli. (A generous) 2/5
