Wake up with Damo on radio #4AK on Tuesdays when I share history from the Darling Downs. This Tuesday after 6.30am I'm mixing it with David Littleproud and Ed Sheeran and tell you about last week when I went looking for a Toowoomba war hero in South Yarra! A pair of woman's gloves on display in 1862 represented an historic Australian first. Follow the link on my profile to read and hear this amazing story, "How a Pair of Gloves Changed a Nation." He was idolised as the "Grand Old Man of Ipswich" but he made blunders that tarnish his legend. Follow the link in my profile to read and hear the full story, "The Grand Old Man of Ipswich - Mistakes that Haunt His Legend." When drivers’ licenses were first introduced in Queensland over a century ago, Toowoomba beat Brisbane for a dubious honour. Follow the link on my profile for the story, "The Troubled Driver Who Made Queensland History." Dinosaurs discovered in a Brisbane quarry in 1958 dominated today’s news, and on radio Dr Romilio guaranteed that there’d be more footprints in the stone that built Brisbane’s GPO. Dinosaurs were discovered in Ipswich coalmine in 1933, and they were burned to build Queensland. Read that story via the link on my profile and searching for "Dinosaurs were lost in space." The Minden hermit didn’t speak for forty-four years until the cows literally came home. Read the full story via the link in my profile, "The Whisper That Shook a District." Rhonda shows me a remarkable 1830s mystery item here at the Allora Australia Day Heritage Weekend on the Darling Downs. Can you guess what it is? It sent me on journey that uncovered this amazing story from a century ago, "The Allora Robberies: A Century of Curious Criminals." Please follow the link on my website. The Doctor is back! It was quieter with #DoctorDan away, so now he's back, this Saturday live after 8am on @westbremerradioipswich I’ll tell you about the man who a century ago didn’t speak for 44 years until the cows came home. True story! A visit to the Allora Heritage Australia Day Weekend led to some mysteries and very strange robberies from a century ago. Follow the link on my profile for the story, "The Allora Robberies: A Century of Curious Criminals".
