within the community and making a difference in small
ways.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

more novocastrians- Newcastle people (NSW Australia) particularly involved in the Arts, Community and Music Industries (Creative Industry). My friends from all around the world from past and present. Respectful people.Firstly I am from NEWCASTLE AUSTRALIA... Please think about this if you are from overseas and wanting to request to 'add me' as a friend, particularly if you are from one of the dozen Newcastle's across the world and your myspace page/business only caters for residents in the 'Newcastle' of your country.
Why myspace?

* Sharing local opportunities, in particular within
the Newcastle regional Cultural and Arts communities,
linking the community, Young People and Performers &
Artists alike
* Creating my furture opportunities

* Corresponding with friends
