We Are Hughes and we love where we live and the people in it.
Julia Zemiro would like to get to know Hughes. If we didn't have restricted movement due to Covid, she could have taken a drive to our electorate to explore the beauty and hidden gems. We would have given her a warm welcome. RSVP to the event here
This restricted movement has made us look at things a little differently. We are all in our own neighbourhoods - so who better to share our part of the world than us? We'll let Julia explain in the video below
Julia is used to being shown around people's home patch. Take a look at this episode of Julia in Home Delivery. Quite by chance it is with Craig Reucassel who is featuring in our BIG DEAL event.
What we would like you to do is show us around your patch of Hughes. Video a favourite spot, or even your favourite coffee place, your secret place ( you don't have to tell us where it is). Send it to us by the 8th of October and we will create an online experience using your footage. Make it one minute long or under ( if you go over a few seconds we won't mind ) You can simply film the spot you love or talk to the camera about your favourite thing. An idea is to hold up a piece of paper with the name of your suburb or place on it. We will post some sample videos here as they become available. In the meantime here are some suggestions You could:
film on your phone
use a gopro for action video
