8 YEARS AND GROWING: And the gifts just keep on coming!
Having been around local entertainment industry folk for many years the lack of a supportive and accurate media outlet for promotion of gigs, events and tourism was extremely and frustratingly evident. This is the Central Coast after all – where else could be more beautiful, entertaining and worthy of promotion?.
I am overjoyed to see that local sites with massive resources and manpower like Central Coast Tourism, The Oomah Group of ‘Suburbs Sites’ and other similar content sites on Facebook like WotsHot Central Coast (congratulations on the new website Jemma) either utilise Whats On information and or link to Whats On Central Coast . Wyong Shire Council run holiday parks, privately owned Hotels/ Motels and apartment style accommodation have started to include links to and/or Whats On sourced information onsite and on their websites. The icing on the cake is the Ugly Phil show on Star 104.5 drive home has weekly on-air rundown of events on a Friday night. All this is way beyond my initial expectations and I am indeed flattered and quite chuffed. Read More on the Whats On Blog Page >>>

THE JUNGLE BODY: The Jungle Body: A workout that delivers on fun and fitness.
Since launching in July 2010, Tara Franzinelli's The Jungle Body has exploded across Western Australia and is soon to become a national phenomenon. Incorporating moves from Latin and contemporary dance, hip hop, boxing, Pilates, 70s disco and football training, the dynamic workout has grown from a few classes in Perth community halls to a group fitness style now taught throughout WA and beyond - including the NSW Central Coast!
The Jungle Body is unlike any other workout available in Australia. Choreographed to popular music and offering four unique classes (Konga - danced based, Vypa - more hardcore, Jagua - Sculpting and Toning, Tyga - hip hop based) it has the philosophy of making fitness fun and wild for everyone.
Currently the Central Coast has two Jungle Body instructors certified in KONGA - Mel and Christina. They are both local Mum's who enjoy keeping fit, healthy and love to dance. You will find them welcoming, approachable and motivating. As both of them have found since learning The Jungle Body, Konga delivers when it comes to improving fitness and changing body shape. Konga tones, burns fat, improves endurance and can burn over 700 calories per class.

Performing everything from Bach to Brubeck they will excite the Pearl Beach audience.
Following a sell-out concert in 2011 Australia’s Flute Queen, Jane Rutter, whose charismatic and passionate performance style and technical excellence delights audiences everywhere, returns to the Music Festival. Jane will combine with Peter Cousins, one of Australia’s most outstanding musical theatre performers among his starring roles were Phantom of the Opera, and Les Miserables, will make this an incredible performance.
