Philo presents 'The Boy From Oz' 8.00pm
For the first time in Canberra - The Boy from Oz! With original music by Peter Allen, this show is sure to excite audiences and leave everyone wanting to go to Rio!
The Boy From Oz tells the dazzling, funny and heart-breaking story of the great entertainer Peter Allen, portrayed brilliantly by the talented Jarrad West.

Singing in country pubs from age 11, Peter Allen survived family tragedy to become a local TV star at age 16. Discovered by Judy Garland (Janie Lawson), he married her daughter Liza Minnelli (Annemaree McLeod) and went on to become a beloved performer and an Oscar-winning songwriter.
Boasting a talented group of local performers on stage, director Carissa Campbell, musical director Craig Johnson and choreographer Michelle Heine bring the funny, exciting and poignant music of Peter Allen to life on stage.

Is "natural" equal to safe?
The speaker is a retired pharmacist who specialised in the quality of medicines. After a short period in the pharmaceutical industry, she spent the remainder of her career reviewing pre-market data on the quality and bioavailability of prescription medicines.

Frogwatch Spring Training Events 6pm-9pm
• Find out all about our local frogs
• Learn how to identify different frog species
• Take action to protect these fascinating creatures
Frogwatch is an exciting community activity that is open to everyone with an interest in frogs. Frogwatch aims to involve large numbers of volunteers to undertake frog monitoring in the ACT and region.
To participate, simply come along to one of our free Frogwatch training events, where you will learn all about our amphibian friends. You will receive your free Frogwatch Kit that includes all you need to know to participate in the ACT and Region Frogwatch Census in October 2010.
FROGWATCH TRAINING EVENTS 2010 - DETAILS
This year ACT and Region Frogwatch in conjunction with local frog experts will be conducting a series of Frogwatch Training Events. You will only need to attend one of these to participate in the spring Census in October. We recommend attending one of the Introductory Seminars if you have never done Frogwatch before, or if you'd like a refresher on the basics of Frogwatching. The Advanced Field Trips are suitable for experienced Frogwatchers who would like the opportunity to learn more about frogs and frogwatching.
RSVPs are essential.
INTRODUCTORY SEMINARS (Frogwatch Basics)
This seminar is essential for the first time Frogwatcher or as a refresher for those who have participated in previous years. It will cover all you need to know to participate in the 2010 Frogwatch Census, including identifying frog species, using Frogwatch Field Data Sheets, undertaking habitat assessments and performing your first frog monitoring activity. This seminar will include a short walk outside to practice our frog identification skills. Please be prepared by bringing sturdy shoes, a torch, and wet weather gear if necessary.
Please note: both of these introductory seminars will cover the same information - you only need to attend on one evening.
