“An” - the movie by Naomi Kawase is showing at Luna Leederville, and the story revolves around a baker selling dorayaki – a Japanese pancake filled with a sweet red bean paste “an”.

Who the heck is this Xavier bloke that writes about his FIFO adventures in Australia?!

In case you were wondering - yes, poor Xavier does go out of his mind at the mines, as told through his latest book “Going out of my Mined”.

Hot off the stage from performing The Dinner Party (totally hilarious!) at Fringe World Perth 2016 recently, Xavier continues the story of his FIFO adventures with the sequel to his first book “Mining my Own Business”.
