Girls Rock! Wollongong presents…You Rock! is a music program aimed to empower girls and gender diverse young people. The program will run from Tuesday 8th July to Friday 11th July at Wollongong Town Hall and is open to girls (cis and trans), trans boys, nonbinary, and intersex young people aged 12-17.

Back in the 90s, School Of Rock in Melbourne pioneered music program for women, it inspired a global movement, and now it's coming to Wollongong! The mission of the You Rock! program is to empower girls and gender diverse young people using the tools of music education to foster self-esteem and confidence. And make cool tunes.

Jayne and Jacqui from YouRock came into ABC Illawarra to tell us all about it.



YOUROCK! Comes to Wollongong

Port Kembla author Lucy Nelson has released her first book. A dazzling collection of hilarious and heart-wrenching stories united by a groundbreaking theme: each is a sidelong glance at the lives of women who – either by choice or by circumstance – will never be mothers and who feel every way it is possible to feel about it.

Lucy is launching the book at Ryan’s in Thirroul on Wednesday, and dropped into ABC Illawarra to chat about.

Wait Here with Lucy Nelson

I had such a packed week of legends on ABC Illawarra Drive for NAIDOC Week.

The theme for this year, the 50th year of NAIDOC, is The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, and all of my guests had stuff to say about that, from mentoring kids to promoting healthy and active futures, paying tribute to past generations and getting the next on the right tracks (sometimes literally onto tracks. And music videos). 

Here they all are!

From cooking with Blak Cede in Nowra and Mark “Black” Olive at Uluṟu, health with the We Breathe people, sport with the Nations Of Origin Dharawal mob from Lake Illawarra PCYC, and legends Narelda Jacobs and JP Janke talking about NITV, the NAIDOC Awards and icons of Indigenous action. 

I had the Mayor of Nowra, Nooky talking about the new 3% song written with a bunch of local kids, making a Stuff The British Got Stolen Back film, and introducing The Kid Laroi’s crew to Clem’s Chicken.  

And more music from Ron Callahan, Mudjingaal Yangamba, Michelle McBride, and Lemonise all at Ngulla NAIDOC Fest (with Georgie Lowe and Doctor of Circus Sharon McCutcheon), and Yuin artist Kyarna talking about the importance of storytelling and playing a beautiful new song live that made her mum cry. 

And all kicking off last Friday with the very funny and a little unhinged Isaac Compton, who I got on to talk about That Blackfella Show, but then he handed the phone over to another legend of Indigenous TV and film, and things went even more off the rails…

Enjoy. 

HAPPY NAIDOC WEEK!

NAIDOC 2025 on ABC Illawarra Drive

After over a decade in the music world, South West Sydney hip hop artist L-Fresh The LION has put out three songs in 2025, getting ready for a new EP later this year. L-Fresh spoke to Lindsay McDougall on ABC Illawarra about new song "No Lie", his music, and the stories behind them.

Like his dad, coming to Australia, growing sugar cane in the backyard of South West sydney, and even older stories. Like that of the fifth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji, and the tortures he endured in 17th century India, in the L-Fresh song "Red Hot Plate".


No Lie - L-Fresh The LION talks new music and old stories.

Why Documentaries was started in the year 2000 because filmmaker Sandra Pires was freelancing with a company, and needed to get paid! Already a storyteller, Sandra joined forces with others like Composer Judy Stubbs and has since told the stories of our past here in the Illawarra and further afield. Like the Mt Kembla mine disaster that stole 96 men and boys from their parents and partners, and the Dalfram Dispute, when our soon-to-be Prime Minister got his Pig Iron nickname.

After all that storytelling, and a celebration at the Warrawong Gala Twin on Saturday 16th of July, Sandra and Judy came into ABC Illawarra to tell *their* story.

WHY? Questioning, Finding and Sharing for 25 Years.
