🎭 Help Keep Gove Arts Theatre Cool & Thriving! ❄️💡🎬
Gove Arts Theatre is a volunteer-run hub in Nhulunbuy that brings people together through live theatre, film, and the performing arts. From local shows to touring acts and film nights, this little black box theatre plays a big role in our community. But even creative magic needs maintenance. We’re raising $5,000 to cover essential running costs—especially aircon repairs and servicing, which are crucial for comfort in our tropical climate. We also need to maintain lighting, sound, and other equipment to keep the space safe and welcoming. Your support helps us stay: Cool and comfortable during the wet and dry Safe and functional for all shows and events Open and accessible for workshops, performances and screenings Every donation helps and your contribution is greatly appreciated! Want to do more? Share this page, donate monthly, volunteer your skills, or hire the theatre! 🌟 Thanks for helping local arts thrive in East Arnhem Land.

The Yellow Line
'The Yellow Line' is our new play which thanks to the Malcolm Robertson Foundation is in full development collaborating with Alaine Beek (Essence) and Berne-Lee Edwards (Ngã Mãtai Pũrua). It is the biggest and most exciting project Essence has undertaken. The play is based on a true story of a young Mãori prison officer given the onerous task of teaching the music and haka to prison inmates. Wyndham City Council is supporting this project through their large grant for the production of the play 2025 but given the size of the production more funds are needed. It will not only be fully engaging but will deal with important issues around youth and social justice, recidivism, connecting cultures, prison culture. Our plans are to have life beyond this production, including incursions, Q&As, digital viewings and touring We need to raise in total an extra $40,000 and so we are planning a special fund raising event Sept 26 at Masonic Hall Werribee. All donations massively appreciated.
Save Our St Andrews - Strathalbyn
St Andrews Strathalbyn (1848) is the oldest remaining Presbyterian church building in South Australia, now a Uniting Church. (The first two in Adelaide have since been demolished.) Built in Scottish-Gothic style, the church is State Heritage listed 10918. St Andrews is an icon of the town, its Clock Tower and Spire featuring in the town logo, used by the Strathalbyn Tourist Association and many others. 174 years of weather and time have necessitated extensive restoration work. We have already raised over $150,000 for repair of cracking masonry on the front Spire, work we hope can start in January 2023. Our next fundraising targets are: $200,000 to repair the Roof & Gutters, to prevent water damage to walls & ceiling; $300,000 to repair masonry on the Clock Tower and renew the clock mechanism and faces. Hence a total of $500,000 for the most urgent work. We are most grateful for all contributions. Do email david@davidbunton.com if you wish to have a receipt.
Peter Mac Wellbeing Centre
On November 19 we launch Stories From Peter Mac. The beating heart of Peter McCallum Cancer Centre is the incredible Wellbeing Centre where I have been running writing workshops since 2018. The outcome has been our book Stories From Peter Mac. This extraordinary book is a compilation of tales and truths from staff, volunteers, carers and people living with cancer. You can buy this brilliant book at the launch, at Readings Carlton or at the Wellbeing Centre. I am fundraising for the Wellbeing Centre because the work they do changes the lives of so many. They focus on everyone not just managing or getting through cancer diagnosis and treatment but thriving. Thank you so much for your interest. Every time you spend a dollar you are voting on how you want the world to be. Love Dev x
