Dungog to rename streets for festival
Five streets of Dungog, NSW will be temporarily renamed after famous Australian fim personalities, chosen by the public and the town’s residents.
“During the festival, the people of Dungog could be living on Kidman Crescent, Gillian Armstrong Lane or Jack Thomspon Boulevard,” said festival director Allanah Zitserman.“Each year the town residents bump into Australian stars on the streets, so we saw that living on a street named after a celebrity was the next logical step,” added Dungog Mayor Councillor Harold Johnston.
Four names will be chosem – from a list of 25 – by a national online poll, with the main street (Dowling Street) to be determined by the residents of Dungog.
The list includes:
- Brendan Cowell
- Bryan Brown
- Cate Blanchett
- Chips Rafferty
- David Williamson
- Eric Bana
- Errol Flynn
- Geoffrey Rush
- George Miller
- Gillian Armstrong
- Heath Ledger
- Hugh Jackman
- Hugo Weaving
- Jacki Weaver
- Judy Davis
- Naomi Watts
- Nicole Kidman
- Peter Weir
- Phillip Noyce
- Rachel Griffiths
- Russell Crowe
- Sam Neil
- Shane Jacobson
- Sigrid Thornton
- Toni Collette
