15 May 2009: The acting community lost a beloved member today. Charles "Bud" Tingwell was the actors actor and the gentlemans gentleman. He co starred with Tom in the movie Windride and directed Tom back in the old Cop Shop days. A man of his talent and dignity will be much missed.

21 September 2008: The webmistress is currently selling off the doubles in her Tom collection of memorabillia. Ebay fees are too expensive these days so I have listed the items on the FAN FORUM. Feel free to check out the list. You may also advertise your own items (Tom related only) for sale or swap there.

Auditions have begum for the second season of Australia's Got Talent and once again Tom will be on the judging panel.

18 February 2007: Thanks to everyone who provided answers on the screen resolution poll. Its clear that the majority of computer users have upgraded over the years from the old 800 screen resolution. As a result - its time to rebuild the site to suit a new bigger resolution !! Stay tuned. I am building it in the background and will release the pages as they are completed. If you see graphics being replaced with little red stars - never fear - they will all be back soon.

14 February 2007: Happy birthday Tom. February see's the return of Tom to our TV screens ! Yeay !! He has been selected as Judge Number 3 along side singers Danni Minogue and Red Symons in the newest talent show to hit our screens. Australia's Got Talent will air its debut episode on Sunday 18 Feb 2007 on Channel 7 at 6.30pm. I havent built a page for it yet so in the meantime any news articles about the show are on the Fan Forum. I hope to be able to put some video clips from the show up on the site soon. Give me a couple of weeks !!!

Excerpt from one news article

"At 6.30pm, Nine is hoping its recent news dominance will lead viewers into a repeat of the Bert Newton-hosted 20 To 1, while Seven is banking on Tom Burlinson's return to television to lure audiences.

Burlinson said the program heralded the return of "real variety" to our screens. "While there are other programs like Australia's Got Talent, this has a different spin to it. It's true variety on TV again," he said. "I'm expecting some acts that are wonderful, many that are weird and some that will be woeful."

11 December 2006: There have been shocking bushfires in Victoria for the past week or so and today a tourism landmark was lost.

Craigs Hut - Jims mountain top home in the two Man From Snowy River films - was totally destroyed after being engulfed by flames today.

It broke my heart to watch such an iconic building burning on tonights news. The town of Mansfield - where much of the films locations were - is under high alert tonight.

22 July 2006: I am happy to report that the domain tomburlinson.info is back under my ownership. Hooray ! Sorry to those who have not been able to access the site in recent months. All should be well now.

Today I have been rebuilding the Travel page - into a set of travel pages !! I have been glad to hear feedback from so many of you who have used the information on the Travel Page to plan holidays downunder. I hope you enjoy the Travel Pages new look and feel.

28 June 2006: Sadly I am still in discussions (not so polite ones) with my service provider. They delayed my domain transfer for so long (and charged me twice) that another one of those "domain snatching" sites has now stolen tomburlinson.info. I am very upset about this as I have owned the domain for quite a few years. I have emailed the new name provider and basically begged them to sell it back to me. So lets see how it goes. If I fail I will have to buy a new domain name and change the title of every single page on this site. Part of this mess up also means that the special email addresses webmistress@tomburlinson.info and info@tomburlinson.info - are not being forwarded correctly to me - so dont use them ! Use tomburlinsonfansite@yahoo.com.au

17 June 2006: I am sorry if you have been unable to access the site via tomburlinson.info. I have just found out that my service provider stuffed up my domain transfer IN MAY ! So the domain name has not been working since then. I have lodged a complaint and hopefully it will be back to normal next week. If you ever have problems using tomburlinson.info - just use tomburlinson.homestead.com instead. And please let me know via the guest book or the fan forum if you have problems accessing the site.

Fans who dont yet have a copy of the FRANK - A LIFE IN SONG dvd - are missing out on a marvellous viewing experience. Visit ezydvd.com.au or middle8.com to order your copy NOW !!!!!!

13 May 2006: Aussies don't forget to set your recorders for Spicks and Specks this week (8.30pm ABC Wednesday). Tom is one of the contestants and it should be a fun show.

I am thinking of changing the sites resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768. I have popped a little survey poll further below. Please click on the poll and vote. It will help me make a decision.

April 16 2006: I created some funky wallpapers for fans to download. Click on the Interactive link and choose your favourite background for your computer.

November 13 2005: Visit the News or Links pages for information on how to buy a stunning cd High Country Life, featuring stories by the Lovick family and their life in the mountains. The cover features a gorgeous photo of Charlie riding Denny, taken about 30 years ago.

October 31 2005: Sadly the Sydney season of The Producers ended last night. Once again a show has not been able to live up to previous citys seasons in Sydney. We Will Rock You was the same - sell out shows in Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane - but closed early in Sydney. Are Sydneysiders too poor from those horrendous mortgages that they cant afford a great night out at the theatre ? I am so glad I was able to go over and see Producers in Sydney - now that it looks like it wont ever come to Perth.

I wont pretend to understand how the theatre world works - but surely a 10 week sell out season in EVERY city is better than 4 months of not so sold out shows in the one city ?? There are cities like Adelaide and Perth that STARVE for entertainment - yet time and time again shows will only open in Sydney and Melb and then they close because Sydneysiders cant afford to maintain an audience. Bring the culture to the other cities PLEASE. Have added some articles to the MSN Board.

October 29 2005: If you start seeing red stars instead of pics etc in the next few months - dont panic !! I am just in the middle of a rebuild and all will be well again soon.

October 22 2005: Phar Lap was released on Oct 20th as a double DVD with some incredible extras. The Snowy films have been released as a special collectors set too. Click on the NEWS button for more info.

I just wanted to let you all know that the only genuine emails that I send using the name tomburlinsonfansite will have yahoo.com.au or hotmail.com after that name. Any emails from address's other than those two are spam and could contain virii - please delete them as soon as you see them.

June 4 2005: I have just returned from Sydney where I saw Tom star in The Producers and had the pleasure of meeting him. During our meeting he mentioned his feelings on the Victorian Government and the recent decision to ban cattle from the Snowy Mountains - killing a 170 year old tradition. There will be a huge rally in the streets of Melbourne on the 9th of June by the Snowy Mountain Cattlemen. Show your support and be there. I have built a webpage HERE to provide you with the full story - and opinions both for and against the decision. SPREAD THE WORD.

April 23 2004: On the new Aussie release of the Snowy DVD there is a great special on the making of the DVD by Geoff Burrows & he mentions making the Snowy 2 dvd quite a lot - including the fact that he has re-edited the Jim & Jessica WEDDING scene that was cut out at the last minute before the film was released & he has regretted it ever since.

The entire movie and soundtrack has been digitally remastered into widescreen so its back to being the original way it was released in the cinemas over 20 years ago. The other extras include some gorgeous still photos and a reading of the poem over excerpts of the film and its so well done that I had tears in my eyes reading it !!

I really would have loved a George/Tom/Sigrid commentary and some "making of" extra's. Maybe one day ????
