SPELLLING: The Turning Wheel
<p><span><span>- Spellling<strong> </strong>only dropped on to my radar recently, but I feel as if I’ve always known her music. A combination of a multitude of art-pop influences of the last fifty years but somehow still uniquely herself, the Californian artist brings the music of witches, with a social message, to her latest record <em>The Turning Wheel</em>. Spellling’s exploration of the genre feels almost limitless as she tackles a plethora of sounds, all while never straying from her magical essence. </span></span></p>

A new study by James Cook University has found about half of cat owners reported feeling their cats were "put out" by their increased presence during the height of COVID-19 lockdowns.

Big Red Bash Music Festival Prevails Against The Odds
Record numbers of music lovers and happy campers have returned from the Big Red Bash music festival in outback Queensland this weekend, despite COVID-19 restrictions locking some people out of the state.
A record breaking ten thousand attendees have ventured to the festival outside Birdsville which was armed with a government approved COVID-Safe plan.
Event organiser, Greg Donovan said, “It’s been a huge challenge, but we’ve worked through so many issues and just managed to move on.”
Grain Farmers Seek Desperate Hire
For the second year in a row COVID-19 is causing headaches for grain farmers, who are begging the Federal and state governments to allow them to bring in overseas machinery drivers for this year's harvest.
Last year, with borders closed due to COVID-19, farmers were so desperate for labour they trained stood-down pilots to drive their harvesters.
This year, they do not want to battle on again and Mic Fels has called on the state and Federal Governments to allow several thousand vaccinated workers from the northern hemisphere.
No New Victorian COVID-19 Cases
Victoria has gone another day with no new local COVID-19 cases, as the state prepares to take further steps out of restrictions from Friday.
It's the eighth consecutive day without a locally acquired case being recorded and from 11:59pm today, masks will no longer be required in schools and private workplaces such as offices and factories.
Density rules will also relax across hospitality and retail, provided COVID marshals are in place to ensure everyone is checking in.
Olympic Workers Test Positive
Two Olympic Village workers in Tokyo have tested positive for COVID-19 days before the village opened to athletes.

Dining with other workers is forbidden under the Committee's own regulations.
Tokyo organisers and the International Olympic Committee are expected to announce the policy after a meeting later this week.
