John Brack and Noel McKenna, two Australian artists working 50 years apart from different environments, were masters of observation whose works echo each other in various ways.

We’re just about to hit April, and that means the month of foodie dreams at Newcastle Food Month is just unfolding: signature events, long lunches, high teas, wine tastings and a whole world of great value Plate Dates, a plate and a drink for $30 or less, all around the city. There’s a few of them sprinkled in this post. Can you pick them? Check out the program, head to Newy and put on your stretchy pants.
