A dazzling new light and sound spectacle is arriving in Australia this winter
After wowing more than 1.5 million people across sold-out seasons in Europe and the UK, Swiss art collective Projecktil is bringing its latest audiovisual spectacle, Eonarium Enlightenment, to Australia. This 30-minute show takes audiences on a journey through the seasons, divided into four scenes: summer, autumn, winter and spring.
Projektil's technologists have measured every inch of Brisbane's St Stephen's Cathedral – from its heritage-listed walls to its soaring ceiling and its intricate corners. Using state-of-the-art video mapping, they'll transform the space into a 360-degree immersive environment that fully engages the senses. Expect vibrant light projections, mesmerising visuals and evocative soundscapes – all accompanied by the classic melodies of Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons'.
You can gaze up in awe from the comfort of cushioned chairs and bean bags sprawled across the cathedral floor, and shift positions throughout the show to take it in from a new perspective.
Brisbane is the first stop on Eonarium Enlightenment 's Australian tour, with future cities to be announced soon. If you're keen to check it out in Brisbane, the season lasts from July 5 to September 27, with tickets starting at $20 for children and $29 for adults. You can find more details and snap up tickets here.

How to travel to the Scottish isle home to cute animals found only in Australia
Australian wallabies were brought to the island in the 1940s by the Countess of Arran A remote island on Loch Lomond has gained attention for its unusual residents, a colony of Australian wallabies that has lived there for more than 80 years. Inchconnachan Island, located on the freshwater loch in west-central Scotland, is informally known as 'Wallaby Island' due to its population of red-necked wallabies, Mirror reports. The animals, native to Australia, were introduced to the island in the 1940s by Fiona Bryde Gore, Countess of Arran, who kept them on the privately owned land. Inchconnachan, which translates to 'The Colquhoun's Island' in Gaelic, has been owned by the Colquhoun clan since the 14th century. Its rugged terrain and thick woodland have created an unlikely but sustainable habitat for the wallabies, which have adapted surprisingly well to the Scottish climate. Some reports claim the animals have even been spotted hopping across a frozen loch in the middle of severe winters. The wallabies have survived by feeding on native plants such as oak, holly and birch. While no official count of the population exists, the species continues to inhabit the island largely undisturbed. Access to Inchconnachan requires planning. Despite being located on one of Scotland's most famous lochs and just 40 minutes from Glasgow, there are no public ferry services. Visitors must bring or hire a kayak, canoe, boat or paddleboard, available from nearby villages such as Luss or Balmaha, to reach the island. Entry is free, and wild camping is permitted in line with Scotland's outdoor access laws, provided the land is left as it was found. The island remains a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with activities such as hiking, paddling and wildlife watching drawing visitors during the warmer months. However, those exploring the area are advised to keep a respectful distance from the wallabies and not to approach or disturb them. Inchconnachan has been privately owned for generations. In 2020, Scottish broadcaster and former Desert Island Discs host Kirsty Young and her husband Nick Jones, founder of Soho House, purchased the island from Clan Colquhoun. The couple later submitted a proposal to redevelop part of the site, including plans to construct a short-stay holiday lodge. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

In January 2025, the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority approved the plans, which include demolishing a derelict 1920s timber bungalow, adding a new boathouse and jetty, and establishing a wet woodland area to support biodiversity. A spokesperson for the authority stated the development would be managed in a way that 'will have no implications for the wallabies on the island.' Despite that assurance, the project has faced significant public opposition. A petition calling for the plans to be halted has attracted more than 100,000 signatures, raising concerns about potential harm to the island's fragile ecosystem and wildlife. The development remains under scrutiny from conservation groups and members of the public, with campaigners urging planners to protect the natural environment and the rare wallaby population.

Bring Her Back viewers have just made a huge realisation about the cast
The Philippou brothers' new horror hits cinemas today Bring Her Back arrives in UK cinemas today (July 26) and chronicles the grim tale of two siblings who are placed with a foster mother still mourning her own late daughter. Brother duo Danny and Michael Philippou are the masterminds behind the blockbuster, marking their second cinema outing following 2023's smash hit, Talk To Me. Their latest offering was penned simultaneously with their debut and exists within the same fictional world, though it doesn't function as a direct sequel. The ensemble features acting legend Sally Hawkins (Shape of Water) leading the charge, alongside emerging Australian talent Sora Wong and Jonah Wren Phillips (Sweet Tooth), plus Billy Barratt (Kraven the Hunter). Since the Philippou siblings hail from Australia, they habitually locate their productions Down Under and have their performers adopt the local dialect. Yet audiences are only now discovering that two of Bring Her Back's leading stars are actually British. Sally, amongst the most recognisable faces in the line-up, originates from London, whilst Billy, who portrays Andy, is also a Londoner and happens to be the grandson of Welsh musical icon Shakin' Stevens, reports the Mirror. Spectators have been utterly astounded by the duo's authentic Australian pronunciations and flocked to Reddit to express their astonishment after hearing their genuine voices during interviews. "Holy s*** she's [Sally] not Australian? I'm Aussie and she reminded me of so many teachers, social service, councillor types I've known," wrote one viewer. Another commented: "I'm Aussie and her accent was flawless. Absolutely flawless." A third viewer expressed their astonishment, saying: "Sally Hawkins I recognised eventually, never would have known if I hadn't seen her before though. Billy Barratt though, I didn't clock at all. We need to start airlifting their dialect coaches to set whenever a script calls for an Australian character." Another cinema enthusiast chimed in with praise, remarking: "I knew Sally Hawkins was British, but when Billy Barratt spoke in interviews it completely shocked me. His accent was so good." The film's performances have garnered widespread acclaim, particularly Sally's portrayal of foster mum Laura, leaving audiences deeply impressed. During a chat with directors Danny and Michael, Sally opened up about what attracted her to the role. She enthused about the script, saying: "Your writing is so - it's just so real," and "It didn't feel like it was one genre or another, it just feels like really good storytelling." Sally also praised the directors' approach, adding: "It's rare for filmmakers to be that collaborative and free, and I always felt very supported and also trusted with your baby."

Fans of the freshly-released horror film have just made a huge realisation Bring Her Back hits UK cinemas today (July 26) and tells the bleak story of a brother and sister taken in by a foster mum still grieving for her own deceased daughter. Sibling directors Danny and Michael Philippou are the brains behind the blockbuster, which is their second big-screen release after 2023's smash hit Talk To Me. Their latest film was written at the same time as their first and set in the same universe too, though it does not serve as a sequel. The cast has acting royalty Sally Hawkins (Shape of Water) at the helm as well as some up-and-coming Australian stars in Sora Wong and Jonah Wren Phillips (Sweet Tooth), alongside Billy Barratt (Kraven the Hunter). Given that the Philippou brothers are from Australia, they typically set their films there and have their cast speak with the accent. However, fans are just realising two of Bring Her Back's major stars are actually British. Sally, one of the best-known names in the cast, is from London, while Billy, who plays Andy, is also a Londoner and the grandson of Welsh music legend Shakin' Stevens. Viewers have been left blown away by the pair's convincing Australian accents and took to Reddit to share their amazement after hearing their real voices in interviews. "Holy s*** she's [Sally] not Australian? I'm Aussie and she reminded me of so many teachers, social service, councillor types I've known," penned one viewer.

Billy Barratt though, I didn't clock at all. We need to start airlifting their dialect coaches to set whenever a script calls for an Australian character." Meanwhile a fourth film fan added: "I knew Sally Hawkins was British, but when Billy Barratt spoke in interviews it completely shocked me. His accent was so good." The film's acting has been widely praised with viewers still reeling from Sally's performance as foster mum Laura. In a conversation with directors Danny and Michael, Sally shared what drew her to the project. "Your writing is so - it's just so real," she gushed. "It didn't feel like it was one genre or another, it just feels like really good storytelling." She added: "It's rare for filmmakers to be that collaborative and free, and I always felt very supported and also trusted with your baby."
