As well as dialogue, there will be sound effects ("That's the fun of radio drama") and a score by Jack Collins. All the elements were combined by Kristin Haseldine from Pink Tape Productions. Lombard says the future plays are Nigel Palfreman's Armageddon some loo roll ("A cheeky take on the zombie apocalypse"), Rachel Hogan's Four ( "a radio serial, four different people facing the harbingers of Armageddon"), a comedy by Greg Gould and a satire by Kirsty Budding. The plays are in various stages of progress but all will be ready for broadcast over the coming weeks. Four Horses of the Apocalypse should be online by Saturday night.

Craft ACT's new exhibition Terra Celestial has moved entirely online. The exhibition features the work of five artists, designers and craftspeople from the Canberra region - Sean Booth (Metals), Michelle Hallinan (Paper), Rohan Nicol (Metals), Sabine Pagan (Metals) and Megan Watson (Mixed Media). They examined the famous Apollo moon landing and were inspired to create new works exploring ideas of space, time, memory and place. This is an exhibition of jewellery, objects and paper sculptures made during a residency at Gudgenby Ready-Cut Cottage in Namadgi National Park and research at Mount Stromlo Observatory. In 2019, the residency program's research partner was the ANU's Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics. The artists explored the natural beauty and built heritage of Mount Stromlo Observatory - exploring the impact of the 2003 bushfires, the recovery from the fires and the array of telescopes and lenses many months prior to the bushfires that devastated Namadgi National Park earlier this year, supported by astrophysicist/cosmologist Brad Tucker.
