The state government is backing local comedians to showcase their talent at the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Clunes artist Colin Clark grew up in the UK, just north of London where his family had a diverse range of interests with the artistic side very much in the world of music rather than the visual arts. His father was a huge opera fan and as a teenager Colin used to join him regularly in the cheap seats at the Royal Opera House. Colin's sister was the one who inherited the musical talent however, while he inherited his father's sporting prowess playing a lot of cricket and hockey. There was not a real arty career for Colin although he did deal with creative designers during his time in product engineering at Jaguar and Ford. Colin and his partner moved to Australia in 2004 after a job at Ford in Australia sort of fell into his lap while they were on a one-year sabbatical travelling round the world.

Simply, the term endangered relates to any plant that lives in a threatened natural habitat that is still needing preservation or has indeed been lost. The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) has established a public access database that lists not only plant species but animals as well, with categories that range (in the case of this article) from endangered to critically endangered to extinct in the wild.
