I went to Wollongong to visit family and friends over the festive season. We left a sleepy Melbourne city early in the morning to arrive in Wollongong that evening. I unpacked the car, showered, got changed and raced into the city to check the BOOM FOR REAL exhibition at Gallery: 5 Crown Lane The gallery is a great space in the heart of Wollongong run by some good friends of mine and dedicated artists supporting the underground art scene in the Illawarra. Keep your eye on this gallery on future exhibitions
It's been probably a year since my last visit and I was pleasantly surprised when i walked though the door to to greeted by Music Farmers, a music store selling vinyl, cds, dvds, publications and more. It's encouraging to see this store pop up especially in an age where music retail stores are closing down across the country. Music Farmers have an online store so check them out as they may have some vinyl releases to help fill the gaps in your collection.
