Kiss hug, kiss hug. I've been bitten by the love bug! Welcome to XOXO. This unpretentious seven week old hole in the wall café perched on Given Terrace could very well be seen as a blank canvas waiting to be painted.

In the lead up to Earth Hour (now bigger and better than ever!), we're probably all wondering what more we can do. Okay, so Springborg's team didn't get up on the weekend so we can breathe a little sigh of relief that that dude who thinks The Barrier Reef's deterioration is due to wild pigs isn't going to be running things, but that doesn't mean we can rest on our laurels.
