Australia’s Eurovision Song Contest entry last year didn’t impress the judges but Go-Jo the Milkshake Man, is returning to the spotlight in Vienna as a special guest interval performer, following a brilliant year of sold-out shows across Europe.
Former Sunshine Coast resident and Go-Jo’s promoter Daniel Watson will be in the audience when he appears during the interval of Semi-Final 1. He will perform a song parodying the common confusion between Australia and Austria, host of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest.
Under this year’s theme – United by Song – the contest has spanned 52 countries and 1,754 songs. It has featured newcomers such as Celine Dion (1988) and Abba (1974) while also attracting established artists such as Oliva Newton-John (1974), Cliff Richard (1968) and Bonnie Tyler (2013) who only finished 19th with Believe in Me, despite topping charts in 7 countries with Total Eclipse of the Heart – proof Eurovision is a genuine song contest.
Rules have changed to regulate over 40 entries – discarding the dreadful, picking the possible and selecting the 30 entries worth watching by 160M viewers worldwide. Tickets sold out for all 9 arena shows within hours. Semi-Final 1 begins on 11 May with an evening preview, followed by an afternoon preview and the live broadcast on 12 May.

Tall Trees Art Inc has announced a strategic pause in its flagship Tall Trees Art Exhibition, with the decision made to take a year off from presenting the large-scale event until 2027. This break will allow the organisation to refocus its energy on planning, development and new creative opportunities for members and the wider community.
Throughout 2026 Tall Trees Art Inc will concentrate on a range of smaller-scale initiatives designed to strengthen the organisation and expand artistic engagement. These plans include the delivery of intimate exhibitions, workshops and artist-led opportunities, alongside the finalisation of a new website and refreshed branding. Work will also continue on updating the organisation’s strategic plan and operations manual, ensuring Tall Trees Art Inc remains well positioned for the future.
A highlight of the year will be Tall Trees Art Inc’s participation in the Gympie Region Studio Trails in July 2026, following a successful Expression of Interest. The event will take place on 25&26 July from 10am-4pm at Traveston Hall.
Tall Trees Art Inc is inviting current member artists who would like to be involved in the Studio Trails weekend to register their interest. Artists living within a 20km radius of Cooran will be given preference. Email expressions of interest to talltreesartentry@gmail.com. Visit: www.facebook.com/groups/talltreesart ... See MoreSee Less

Visitors were also invited to vote for their favourite work in the People’s Choice award.
Among the highlights was a series of mixed media works by new member Janelle Trinder. Painting for just 2 years, Janelle’s pieces stood out for their bold colour, texture and strong composition. Many had a tactile, 3-dimensional feel, created using acrylic paint and texture mediums, along with ink, pastels and collage.
