This morning I was honoured to be live in the studios of 4AK Darling Downs waking up with Damo, and you can hear me after 6.30am (when our southern friends are in daylight savings, otherwise it's 7.30am) every Tuesday, and you can read the Darling Downs history story on my website the following Friday. Congratulations to @rslqueensland which began 110 years ago today with a meeting in the Queensland Temperance League's Temperance Hall in Brisbane. There it is in the middle of this beautiful photo State Library of Queensland, on the corner of Ann and Edward Streets. Today the Queensland Temperance League is @drug.arm and continues to work closely with our Veterans. With all the noise about Ipswich luring Ed Sheeran from Brisbane recently, here’s a concert 110 years ago that was positively stolen. Follow the link on my profile to read and hear my story. "From Paul Dufault to Ed Sheeran: Ipswich’s Century‑long Battle for the Stars." Congratulations to the @bangarradancetheatre winning a prestigious international award, the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale announced today. It’s for lifetime achievement in dance. In July I was honoured to spend time with a founding member of the theatre Janet Guypunura Munyarryun. Janet and her niece Monica were catching barramundi in the crocodile-infested Cato River on the beautiful Dhalinybuy homeland in North East Arnhem Land. It was wonderful to hear stories of her having tea with the Queen and travelling the world as a dancer, choreographer and now sharing indigenous knowledge. Congratulations to Janet and her Bangarra Dance Theatre! I went to South Yarra, Melbourne, searching for a Toowoomba war hero, and I found him. Follow the link on my profile to read and hear the story, "The Road to South Yarra and the Ghost of Owen Price." 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."
