The airwaves were pretty quiet in Darwin at the end of World War Two.

The shortwave signal from the southern states was erratic and there was concern the only alternative, Radio Moscow, could be getting a strong following among the union-friendly population.

IDM Industry Day 1

This is interesting.....I relocated to Darwin from Sydney during August 2009. The reason of my relocation is to study and my field of interest is media.

Fortunately I meet Dixi Joy Baker, producer of Fist Fill of Films during 2010 who supported me and provided the platform to express myself to enter the media industry here in Darwin.

Dixi also successfully mentored me to participate in the "REALISATOR" workshop which was organized by NT Film Office.

Today 2 March 2011 on my first day of the class at CDU, I have a task related to fist full of film website which is I hope the interconnection between me and fist Full of film.
