Pop sensation Natalie Bassingthwaighte has just been added to an already star line-up of entertainment at Australia Day Live 2009.

Taking place on the lawns of Parliament House, Sunday 25th of January, Australia Day Live will bring Canberra to life with a mamoth live concert.

Canberrans can rock out to Trial Kennedy, Lovers Electric, Jessica Mauboy, Dan Kelly & The Ukeladies, Wendy Matthews, Gurrumul, Brian Cadd, John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew and of course Natalie Bassingthwaighte.

After 3 years of solid summer kickin’, Block Party returns to the Trinity Carpark in ’09.

One of Canberra’s favourite and most unusual events, Block Party lands Saturday 10 January with one of its most diverse and fresh line ups to date.

In traditional Block Party style, the truck stage has returned in all its glory to the Trinity car park, with punters praising the truck from the ‘would be’ road.

This intimate event will again maintain its limited capacity and focus on diverse and live music.

Your lead up to Christmas might include a mix of carols and joy, but there’s a better chance it won’t. You’ll spend countless hours at the office tying up loose ends, endless hours in shopping centres and experience stress induced headaches related to mandatory family luncheons.

You can’t beat the clock, Christmas and New Years ARE just around the corner.

Many of us haven’t thought about how we’ll spend our time off, it’s an after thought and ‘sleeping in’ is all we can muster to commit to.
