Was pretty good. Probably only on in NSW though, as i think they have different state editions of their news bulletin.

Well done in posting the link - I missed all the coverage as I flew up Friday morning and had other things to do.

Nug got interview at Expo about Coconut Island, it was apparently for ABC2 show "Good Game", and should be on Monday 1 June 2009 - we'll let you know when we get more info - http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/

Yeah, saw them there. They certainly took a heap of footage.

Will have to watch out for that one.

Yeah, saw it on "COOL GAME" (not good game) on ABC2. Featured near the end of the show after putting up with a lot video game shit from a couple of smarmy wanker presenters. Good segment, it will be repeated and can be downstreamed or some such. Google up ABC for details.

Huh? The show is definitely called 'Good Game'. The episode can be viewed or downloaded from the website http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/video/default.htm?pres=20090601_2030&story=9

I humbly apologise - you are correct. With the stylised font on their banner & T shirts, to my antique eyes it looked like "cool" I'd better stop it before i go blind (playing pinball that is)
