The
Right Train by Ti Lian –Siew.
Ever
noticed how relationships and catching public transport have so much in common?
Is this the one for me? Should I go with the bad boy or Mr Dependable? Should I
catch the train or the bus? If I wait for this train what if I miss another that
could have been going more in my direction........ The Right Train takes a snap
shot of a couple in a relationship who are just not sure if they can wait at the
platform anymore. Whether it’s the Caboolture line or the Beenleigh, sometimes
we just have to ask, “ Is this really the right train?”
Memorial
by Graham Mitchell.
Homeless people are a part of any city whether ignored or not. They have
their own communities, their own families and relationships. What happens when
a member of our community dies? How do the homeless honour one of their own?
How do families torn apart by individual’s life choices react when faced with
the reality of their departed one’s real life situation. Sometimes some secrets
are just too hard to keep. Memorial takes us into the community of Brisbane’s
homeless at a time when they have lost one of their members.
Moving
by Nelle Lee.
Stuck in Brisbane’s peak hour traffic. Moving 500 meters in 50
minutes has pushed your patience. Ever glanced into the next car and wondered
where that driver is headed? All these people on this road at the same time
heading in the same direction but not going to the same place. We spend so much
time in our cars, stuck in traffic, yet life continues. Be surprised by how
much can happen while we’re not moving.

Everyone loves a bit of gossip and when working at Gossip magazine,
there’s bound to be the occasional love triangle, sex scheme or cat fight. At

truth. It’s about the gospel and Gossip is the ladies bible. Straight from my
lips to your cellulite hips. Gossip runs rife.

Picture of Us by Brendan Gore.

or will he go now?
