Jungle Fever
..another full house for the
Ingham Theatre Group
Jungle Fever, was a raunchy romp in the
African jungle for our local theatre group. The story went something like this. Two retired British army colonels stumble
across a bracelet
in a stall in the old bazaar in Casablanca. The bracelet belongs to long
lost missing heiress of the great Mumulgum Castle. The missing heiress
is a niece of one of the colonels, so they decide upon a quest to find
and rescue her. They enlist the service of a jungle guide (who is an
African Queen) and the not-so-brave Jungle Patrol to help them… They
are followed by the heiress's evil half sister who intends to claim the
inheritance herself! She is in cahoots with a witch doctor (who likes to
dress in drag), and practices on a long lost jungle tribe, made up of men starved
women. The production also features a dashing hero, plenty of corny one
liners and humorous innuendos.
The laughs flowed easily and frequently
as our local theatre troupe carried us all along with them on their
jungle adventure.

Hinchinbrook
Acquisitive Art Competition
The Hinchinbrook Acquisitive Art Competition is an
annual event presented by the Hinchinbrook Shire Council in association
with the Rotary Club of Ingham Inc.
The competition was first held in 1977 when the
State Government asked all local authorities in Queensland to donate a
work of art to the new Parliament House in Brisbane. Hinchinbrook
Shire Council decided to hold a competition to acquire a painting for
Parliament House and hence the annual art competition was born.
This region is home to many very talented artists
and the Hinchinbrook Shire Council is committed to promoting their work.
The Hinchinbrook Acquisitive Art Competition is an integral part of this
plan and we are keen to see it continue to expand and improve for many
years to come.
2006 has seen a large number of entries to the
Hinchinbrook Acquisitive Art Competition and a wide variety of art and
craft from all age groups in our community and beyond. The local arts
community is surely flourishing.
