Ross Wilson Hits the Stage and Creative Workshops: What’s On in Albury Today

Ross Wilson & The Peaceniks Live at the Albury Entertainment Centre

Tonight, the Albury Entertainment Centre becomes the epicenter of Australian rock as the legendary Ross Wilson and his band, The Peaceniks, take to the stage. As the frontman of iconic bands Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock, Wilson has shaped the landscape of Australian music for decades. This 8:00 pm performance is part of a highly anticipated regional tour, bringing classic anthems like "Eagle Rock" and "Come Said The Boy" to local fans. The Peaceniks are known for their tight, high-octane delivery, ensuring that the midweek energy in Albury remains at an all-time high. It is a rare opportunity to see a Hall of Fame inductee in an intimate theatre setting right here in the heart of Dean Street.

Unleash Your Inner Author: 'Writing for Everyone'

If your interests lean more toward the literary arts, the Albury LibraryMuseum is the place to be this evening. Starting today, Wednesday, February 4th, the "Writing for Everyone" workshop kicks off its multi-week program. Held from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, this inclusive creative writing session is tailored for participants of all skill levels. Led by experienced facilitators, the workshop aims to enhance storytelling abilities, character development, and narrative structure. It provides a welcoming space for residents to share their work and receive constructive feedback. In a digital world, taking an hour to put pen to paper with fellow local writers is a rewarding way to spend a Wednesday afternoon.

Interactive Science: Questacon at the LibraryMuseum

For a morning dose of education and entertainment, the "Questacon - Hands-On" mini-exhibition continues its residency at the LibraryMuseum. Open today from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm, this exhibit is a favorite for families and those with a curious streak. Unlike traditional museum displays, this experience encourages you to touch, play, and experiment. The stations focus on various scientific principles, including physics, light, and logic puzzles, making complex ideas simple and fun. It is a fantastic low-cost activity for those looking to keep the family engaged during the midweek lull.
