Begins Monday 30th October – tune in to Paradise FM to take part in all the fun! It’s a bit like Where’s Wally? except she’s better lookin’!

So what’s the story behind this competition?

In the week leading up to Ballina’s 150th Anniversary Gala Dinner on Monday 6th November, a very special guest will be joining the Ballina community. A very special Miss Summergirl, folks … that’s who … and she simply loves a festive community! She’s back from the year of 1964 and has jumped straight off the cover of the 1964 Ballina tourism brochure. Keep your eyes peeled for her around Ballina from Monday 30th October … she may also be carrying her trusty beach ball. Our sources say that Miss Summergirl is keen to experience Ballina in all its glory in 2006 … she’ll be examining all that’s changed since 1964 … and, no doubt … will be in for a few surprises indeed!

While filming on location at the mysterious Skull Island, a group of filmmakers discover a giant gorilla named Kong, living in a massive jungle where creatures from prehistoric times have been protected and hidden for millions of years. As they search for the great ape, their quest puts them up against both Kong and his dinosaur enemies. Ultimately, it is the attention of a beautiful human woman that soothes Kong long enough for him to be subdued and shipped back to New York, where his bleak future involves being put on display in front of humans … but how long can even the mightiest shackles of man hold back an ape 25 feet tall?

The Chronicles of Narnia (PG)
C.S. Lewis’ ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ was first published in 1950 and is the second instalment of the writer’s legendary seven-part ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ series. The film tells the story of Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, who are separated from their parents in London during the German air raids of World War II. They are sent to the country for safety and find a magic wardrobe that transports them to the mystical world of Narnia, a once peaceful land of talking beasts, dwarfs and giants. However, Narnia has been frozen by the evil White Witch, and the kids must help the lion Asian break her spell.
