This is What Love Looks Like

Away is a community production, which means a lot of things. There is a lot that has gone into it and a lot of people have gone without to bring the play to completeness. I laughed recently when I got a phone call from home. My teenage daughter was moaning about the lack of food in the house “I don’t know why you even had me, if you weren’t going to feed me.” She’s fine, by the way.

If you volunteer for a theatrical production your motives might be very different to the next person. Rehearsals start, construction and design starts, but life continues outside the rehearsal and production zones; and life is busy and complex and emotionally charged. So thank you to the family and friends of everyone involved in Away, for allowing your loved ones the space and time to participate in this wonderful play.

The Hume Highway is closed south-bound near Holbrook after a crash between two trucks overnight.

About 12.50am (Thursday 6 November 2014), a B-double was travelling south on the Hume Highay, four kilometres north of Holbrook.

Police have been told the B-double clipped the rear of a semi-trailer parked on the side of the highway.

Both vehicles caught alight and were destroyed by fire.

The B-double driver, a 42-year-old man, was not injured. A breath-test performed at the scene returned a negative result.

The driver of the semi-trailer, a 38-year-old man, was taken to Holbrook Hospital for treatment of minor injuries, and mandatory blood and urine testing.

Investigations into the crash are continuing.

South-bound lanes of the highway are expected to be closed until early this afternoon, as the trucks and their cargo – including glue and floor boards – are removed from the scene.
