A live celebration of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks — performed by Starshine.
Far from an average tribute act, Starshine delivers a polished, emotionally charged concert experience that honours the legendary catalogue while bringing a fresh sense of drama, passion and authenticity to every performance.

With sold-out shows, standing ovations and strong word-of-mouth wherever it travels, Starshine has built a reputation as one of Australia's most compelling live tribute experiences.
Whether performing in theatres, clubs, RSL's or festival settings, Starshine promises an unforgettable night of music, memories and pure rock 'n' roll magic.

Not Karaoke. Not a Concert. A Piano Party.
December is a time for catching up with friends, celebrating the year that was and making room for a little fun. Whether it's a long-overdue get-together or an end-of-year celebration, the Jetty Theatre is hosting the perfect festive night out. The Piano Party is bringing a lively dose of music, laughter and nostalgia to town with an invitation to do more than sit back and watch.
Featuring pianist Brian Cousins and entertainer Tim Maddren, the show celebrates the songs that have brought people together across generations. From the high-energy hits of the 1950s, '60s and '70s to modern favourites including "Sweet Caroline" "Get Lucky" and "Creep", the evening promises a soundtrack packed with familiar tunes and plenty of opportunities to join in.
The Piano Party looks back to a time before Spotify and headphones, when the piano was the centrepiece of a gathering, and knowing the words was all part of the fun. It's not quite a concert and it's not karaoke, but rather a shared musical experience where the audience becomes part of the performance.
Baajim is magic in Gumbaynggirr language, and this powerful new exhibition by Gumbaynggirr artist Lilly Clegg celebrates the beauty of nature and explores a sense of knowing that there is far more happening in this world than what meets the eye. Lilly is a visual artist, weaver, sculptor, ceramicist and cultural educator whose creative practice is grounded in nature and connection, and her vibrant inaugural solo exhibition reflects this journey of exploration in its diversity. After a youth spent between her mother's mob in the Clarence Valley and a commune in Mullumbimby, Lillys' contemporary art practice has developed into a psychedelic translation of cultural experience, rich with mystical and astrological symbology.
Through Baajim, you are invited to experience a world shaped by ancestral wisdom, creativity, and connection. Each artwork carries layers of meaning, a celebration of identity, Country and the living spirit of Gumbaynggirr culture. Baajim is more than an exhibition; it is an invitation to connect, learn and experience the magic and mystery of an unseen world.
The exhibition will open at Wadjar Regional Indigenous Gallery. Refreshments provided. Please RSVP via Facebook, Humanitix or the website for catering purposes.

Gumgali Track is located in the beautiful Orara East State Forest, also home to Sealy Lookout (Niigi Niigi) and the Forest Sky Pier.
A free and self-directed Aboriginal cultural interpretive experience along Gumgali Track shares the Gumbaynggirr creation story of Gumgali, the black goanna. Visitors are greeted with a display at the head of the track, featuring the tale of Gumgali written in Gumbaynggirr and a Welcome to Country from Gumbaynggirr Elder Uncle Mark Flanders.
Along the track, visitors will encounter elements of the story of Gumgali through sculpture and art. Goanna sculptures hide in trees and on the ground, timber public art provides a place for visitors to capture images or grab a seat, and a striking 30-metre mural, spray-painted by local artists Yowa and Snarl over a cluster of utility buildings, is a colourful cultural experience.
Gumgali Track concludes at Korora Lookout at the soundbar, with spoken versions of the story of Gumgali delivered in English by 12-year-old Ronan Walker and in Gumbaynggirr by language teacher Clark Webb. These stories can be enjoyed from church pew-style seating at the lookout before taking in the broader coastal ocean views from the viewing platform.
Gumgali Track is a relatively easy grade return walk.

No visit to Coffs Harbour is complete if you haven't been to Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve. Also know as Giidany Miirlarl, this precious seabird rookery at Coffs Harbour's heart is enveloped by spectacular views from coast to islands.
Muttonbird Island is a great spot for watching birds up close; it's one of the only easily-accessible places in NSW where the migratory wedge-tailed shearwater nests and a great vantage point for whale watching in season. It is also an important Aboriginal place, harbouring stories of the Dreaming and a wealth of traditional resources.
It's a great place to take a short walk, and the unforgettable views will be well worth your effort. The best way to find out more about the Aboriginal stories of Muttonbird is on an award-winning guided Muttonbirds by Moonlight tour conducted by local Gumbaynggirr rangers.
If the guided tour is not available you can always download the Island sanctuary audio tour in our NPWS app and walk take a stroll with Matt Flanders sharing the culture and history of the island via your headphones.

The Eastern Side lookout is located a short walk from the Muttonbird Island outdoor learning space along a paved walkway. As you’re walking along the track to the lookout, on either side of the path you’ll notice open entrances to muttonbird burrows. Signage along the way explains the lifecycle of these migratory birds.
It is really important to stay on the track as the burrows are fragile and the plant cover provides little protection from cave-ins which can be disastrous for the birds.
The Eastern Side lookout is perched above wave-worn rock platforms at the eastern end of the walkway. You’ll enjoy unimpeded views of Solitary Islands Marine Park all year round and between May and November you might see humpback whales on their annual migration. On a clear day you can see all the way along the north coast to South West Rocks in the south and north to Woolgoolga.
If you’re looking to experience nature and get away from it all for a few hours, End Peak walking track is for you. A short drive from Coffs Harbour, and within moments you’ll be surrounded by a rich tapestry of vibrant green colours.
This challenging escarpment walk traverses old-growth blackbutt forest, tall wet forests and rainforests. There are a few steep sections of track, but they just add to the adventure and the challenge. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy picnicking from the highest point in Ulidarra National Park, with filtered glimpses of Coffs Harbour.
There’s plenty of native wildlife to admire along the way, including koalas and an abundance of birdlife, so if you enjoy birdwatching, keep your binoculars handy. Ulidarra National Park is home to 125 bird species, so you’re bound to see something colourful along the way, such as the beautiful satin bowerbird.
Only a short drive off the Pacific Highway from Coffs Harbour, the Forest Sky Pier at Sealy Lookout / Niigi Niigi sits within a flora reserve in Orara East State Forest, part of the amazing State Forests of the Coffs Coast, on Gumbayggirr country.
A 10-minute drive from Coffs Harbour up through banana plantations reaches the lookout. Here, the Forest Sky Pier offers magnificent coastal views over the city of Coffs Harbour and up and down the coastline. There are walking tracks through the rainforest, ranging from one to three hours, and picnic tables and toilets are provided. A covered picnic shelter is available for those with mobility issues, and the Forest Sky Pier is accessible (no steps) from the car park. Coach parking is also available.
Whilst at the lookout, grab a coffee from Nyanggan Gapi cafe, check out Coffs Treetops (maybe even book ahead - it's a popular canopy adventure!), or walk 500 metres down the road to the beautiful Gumgali Track (which ends at Korora Lookout). Gumgali Track shares the Gumbaynggirr story of Gumgali the black goanna in sculpture, art and sound.
The Forest Sky Pier carpark is open to vehicles during daylight hours. Visiting the Forest Sky Pier is free.
