Stay tuned for the 2042:Art on the Street Exhibition.

Thanks to all those who helped make 2042 happen. For one and half days there was a crowd at Newtown Square, pasting, colouring, drawing and modelling themselves into the 2042 map BUT at Sunday lunchtime we were washed away with a deluge of 87mm of rain! The highest daily rainfall this year. In minutes, Newtown Square became a lake, which forced us to pack up and run for cover.

For all those who missed out making their mark, you can still contribute your work. Drop it off to Inner West Cultural Services, 35-39 Dickson St, Newtown. Give us a ring first 95504156 or email info@innerwestcs.org.au.

Stay tuned for the 2042:art on the street Exhibition.

Awwwwww like any one who has ever played Sim City. Sometimes when you make a virtual city, it is subject to "Natural Disasters" Sometimes the natural disasters can be so extreme that your city is lost and your people gone.

Because we still have tons of content to upload the online side of 2042 can still go on! Please send us stories, photos or comments of your favourite part of Newtown.

In the meantime here is a ton of things that have been happening today:
