Talking about entertainment, our very own entertainment center at Riverlink East Bank has got a great show happening on Sunday afternoon from 5pm till 7.15pm. And it's Nigel Rainard and the Future Factory presenting Pink Floyd's Evolution. So, there's three different parts to this show. So, the first is they pick up with echoes. And that's a 23-minute Pink Floyd extravaganza, recapturing some of the old themes and melody lines from their earlier albums. And there'll also be a bit of a funky organ bass drum segments and stunning guitar solos, the haunting seagulls. That sounds interesting, doesn't it? Yeah. So, it should be a really interesting way to listen to some of that really electronic sounds that Pink Floyd introduced, Chair, back in the day. Is that ever? So, move on to the dark side of the moon. One of the most critically-canned albums of all time. The fourth best-selling album in history, sold over 45 million copies worldwide. So, certainly be a lot of well-known hits off that one. They wrap the show up with shine on you, crazy diamond. It's a very long song. Yeah, and written as a tribute and remembrance to the Pink Floyd-sounding member, Sid Barrett. And, yeah, this was originally attended to be a full-side, long composition from the album, Echoes. But, yeah, this one will be recreated as part of this program at Ruth River Links on Sunday afternoon. So, the ticker price is there, $69.93 to $79.90, and they can be booked through the River Links box office or riverlinksbenius.com.au. That'd be a great one, actually. Yeah, that's a very big word for 10 years. Yeah, great stuff. And then, on Monday, we're flipping into the early part of next week now, because this is a great event to just give a big thing out, too, which is that the Shepherd and Heritage Centre, the fantastic Little Museum complex in the old forest of tall precinct, just opposite the police station there, and they've been doing quite a bit of activity lately, some renovations with new flooring and new domestic space. They've got some beautifully decorated plaster ceiling and lots of fresh paint throughout. So, it's well done to the volunteers. You've been waiting so hard to, yeah, get it all done and bring it back to life, and, yeah, certainly will be a much, yeah, an easier space to get around and to, yeah, look at their displays. But they're also unveiling something brand new to the exhibition, which is the Greater Shepherd and Sports Hall of Fame exhibition, finding a home here in the Shepherd and Museum. Celebrates the great achievements of athletes past and present from our region. And there we go, lots of local sports legends presented through that exhibition as well, who's competed right up to international levels.

I don't feel good as the chair and also an inductee of the Sports Hall of Fame community. And, of course, yeah, Brett Lancaster, former Australian pro cyclist and gold medallist. I mean, how topical at the moment should be having someone in the cycling form a metal working shooting the wagon you impact? Oh, lovely, my goodness, yeah. Brett was one of my kids in here. They're absolutely awesome. Very fantastic. So, of course, yeah, I've been addicted to the Tour de France, I must say, now it's not late in the week. Small hours, something great to hear from him as well. Oh, great to see Brett here. Great to see Brett here. Again, on Monday from 2 p.m., afternoon tea, as well.
