Bonnie Lass has provided something that has surely been missing from comic books of the past few years, crazy pirate action, and the third issue delivers a hell of a lot of that.

Issue two finished on a rather large cliffhanger and suitably issue three picks up right where issue two left off. Bonnie and her motley crew are seemingly at the mercy of the evil Monet (yes that’s the bad guy’s name) who has swooped in at the last minute to steal the glory of Bonnie solving the mystery of the Leviathan. A fierce, rock’em sock’em duel between Bonnie and Monet later and both crews are sucked into a mysterious whirlpool with the beast of the leviathan.

About The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes causes a stir! For over ten years, millions of players have donned the hat and magnifying glass of the world’s greatest detective, in a dozen games for PC and handheld systems. This year, Sherlock Holmes makes a triumphant return in his very first adventure specially designed for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game consoles! All the mystery and intrigue will also be available on PC.

1898, London. All the evidence of police investigation points at Sherlock Holmes as the main suspect in a case involving theft, fraud and double-crossings. Unable to prove his own innocence, Holmes is rapidly losing London’s trust as doubt spreads through the city like wildfire. Even Doctor Watson’s faith in his friend begins to waver, as the famous detective flees Scotland Yard and raises further suspicion; prowling around at night, destruction of evidence… would Holmes go so far as to commit murder?

A mainstay genre of console games, The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is playable with a gamepad in a third person view, with controls thought and specially developed with consoles in mind. The new game engine was also specially built to display complex scenes and high-resolution textures. The game features lush, captivating environments and truly raises the bar for console adventure games.

The complex and decidedly-mature storyline surrounds a particularly tricky investigation, in which each and every puzzle will challenge both insight and wits! As Sherlock Holmes, you will use the detective’s full repertoire: handle and inspect clues, reenact crimes and use the game’s new deduction system to draw your own conclusions. Choose your questioning approach to catch characters off guard and gather valuable information. Players are facing an open investigation, and must decide which leads to follow and which to ignore.

You are Sherlock Holmes, and this is your investigation. Live a thrilling adventure and foil an incredible conspiracy on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in 2011!

An exhibition showcasing personal stories of cultural connection, community and the artistic talents of Koorie youth from the Hume Region of Victoria is now open at Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre.

My People, Culture and Country is an outcome of Museum Victoria’s Indigenous Pathways project, which is designed to support Indigenous students as they connect with their cultural heritage. The exhibition, which was created by seven students from the Hume Region, explores themes of people, place and culture through objects, artworks, photographs and documents drawn from Museum Victoria’s collections and personal objects.

Through the project the students experienced working at the Museum, spending time behind the scenes with staff from various departments and Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre. As they explored the collection the students discovered more about their cultural heritage, giving them the opportunity to reflect on what it means to be an Aboriginal person within their community. As one student explored the collections, she found photographs of relatives she had never seen before. These experiences are reflected in My People, Culture and Country.

The students also created artworks and learned traditional practices such as weaving and making spears in workshops facilitated by Museum Victoria and Victorian Aboriginal artists.

“By creating this exhibition, the students have made their own connections between the past and the present and in the process developed a deeper appreciation of who they are and where they have come from”, says Caroline Martin, Manager, Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre.

“This experience – the skills and the knowledge that they’ve gained along the way – is invaluable and will encourage them to think more broadly about not only their communities but also about possible future careers”, said Liz Suda, Program Co-ordinator, Humanities, Melbourne Museum.  

My People, Culture and Country is part of the Bunjilaka Community Exhibition Program, an annual program of changing exhibitions celebrating the creativity of Koorie artists and communities from across Victoria.

My People, Culture and Country has been a partnership between Museum Victoria, Hume Region Local Learning and Employment Networks, Hume Region Department of Education and Early Childhood Development Wannik Unit and Hume Region Catholic Education.
