Sustainable tourism program to create 'guilt free' holidays on the Capricorn Coast

Capricorn Coast tourism operators have been invited to "go green" after Tourism Queensland officially launched its landmark Sustainable Regions Project in the region last week. An Australian first that has already run successfully in six other Queensland regions, the Sustainable Regions Project is aimed at reducing the environmental impact of tourism to encourage visitors to view the Capricorn Coast, and eventually Queensland, as a sustainable tourism destination. Tourism Queensland has received great support for this project from the local industry and stakeholders, including Capricorn Tourism and Economic Development Limited and Rockhampton Regional Council.

The Hoodoogurus are Coming to Gladstone! Gladstone Music Events!

The Hoodoogurus are Coming to Gladstone on the 28th August 2010,

The mighty Hoodoo Gurus released their ninth studio album Purity Of Essence in April 2010 and to mark this auspicious occasion they have been doing what they do best: hitting the road and performing like they have done for many a decade...

The mighty Hoodoo Gurus released their ninth studio album Purity Of Essence in April 2010 and to mark this auspicious occasion they have been doing what they do best: hitting the road and performing like they have done for many a decade, exciting fans across the globe with a live show to rock you to your core and leave you aching for more!

The Gurus kicked off the 'Purity of Essence' National Tour in WA in April this year and played to massive sold out shows around the country in all capital cities throughout April and May. After the success of a sold out tour, they have decided to head back out on the road for July, August and September to hit regional cities in Tassie, Victoria, QLD, NSW, WA and NT!

The Gurus exist in their own time and space. They have been a part of the Australian music psyche since they brought us classic songs like 'Tojo', 'My Girl' and 'I Want You Back' from the Stoneage Romeos-era and from Mars Needs Guitars' 'Bittersweet', 'Death Defying' or 'Like Wow - Wipeout!'. Throw in '1000 Miles Away', 'Waking Up Tired' and 'The Right Time', and more than 100 other songs they have written, recorded and played that have meant something to someone some time and there is no denying that on record or live, they ARE Oz rock royalty.

Dave Faulkner and his band mates, guitarist Brad Shepherd, bassist Rick Grossman and drummer Mark Kingsmill, have been going strong, again, since reuniting in late-2003 after almost six years apart.

The Gurus new album is by all accounts, one of the best to date and on the July/August tour they will be showcasing the new tracks from the album and of course, playing the Hoodoo Gurus classics we all know and love, which makes for one hell of a cracking live show!
