Sometimes life really does imitate art, like last March in Sydney, Australia. A family refused to sell their land to real estate developers, resulting in a brand new suburb being built around their lot.

With their land now a shining green oasis in an otherwise very urban landscape, the family continues to live in their dream ...

Today marks the 35th anniversary of the conclusion of the production of Bartons. By this day in 1987, everything was shot, edited and transferred on to broadcast tapes. Only one thing remained left to do...

So, on 22 August 1987, a big Going Away-party was held in Studio 31. It was the very last time cast ...

Now I'm not a very good painter myself, but apparently we no longer need good painters anyway. Art website NightCafé offers a very powerful, AI driven ...

Without turning Bartons on the Web into a Neighbours website all of a sudden, I would like to mention that the petition that has been running since February (and promoted here) has unfortunately not had the desired effect.

Both Channel 5 (UK) and 10 (Australia) have announced that the final episode of Neighbours ...

As my webdesign skills grow so does Bartons on the Web :)

You'll find lots of new cool features, including a fancy new menu bar that will stick to the top of the browser window as you scroll down. I hope that this is a lot clearer to new users of the site.

VCR has had an update ...
