SUMMARY:Tracks to Power: Ben Chifley's Political Genesis
DESCRIPTION:To coincide with the 150th anniversary of the railway arriving in Bathurst\, Chifley Home presents Tracks to Power: Ben Chifley’s political genesis. This exhibition looks at Chifley’s work with his union\, and his role as a leader in the community. His later political reputation was built upon his analytical and leadership skills\, alongside his work for his community\, all developed during his time as a locomotive driver. \nChifley’s skills were developed to the point where he felt comfortable realising an early ambition of standing for Parliament. While he sought preselection for a parliamentary seat\, he acted as a witness in industrial arbitration hearings\, a forum where his debating and analytical skills shone. He was also a key figure in the 8 Hour Day campaign\, fought against conscription during the First World War\, and lead his colleagues during the Great Strike of 1917. \nThe exhibition includes text and supporting objects that help explain how Ben Chifley rose to the highest office in the land. Exhibition is free with museum entry.

SUMMARY:The Strangeways Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:LOVE. We all want it. We all need it. We all like to sing about it. \nThe Strangeways Cabaret takes audiences on an antics-fuelled ride that packs a surprising emotional punch. Songs about online dating\, loneliness and broken promises\, along with duelling eyebrows\, glamorous drag queens\, and stories of killer spiders and lovelorn vampires all combine to create a joyful celebration of life and love in all its forms. \nThe cabaret is created by The Strangeways Ensemble\, a company of neuro-diverse actors and musicians from Wollongong\, who explore universal themes from their unique perspectives to find the fantastical in the mundane. They like to make work\, which is evocative and challenging\, but also poetic and funny\, and to make people think and laugh. \nBy taking the cabaret on tour\, The Strangeways Ensemble are spreading the love and are excited to be including neuro-diverse and queer artists from Bathurst in the lineup. With a live cabaret band and special guest artists\, The Strangeways Cabaret promises unique takes on one of the most explored human emotions – love.
