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". I celebrated Australia Day amongst the crowds at the 2026 Allora Heritage Weekend for the most authentic Australian tractor grand parade you'll ever see... and got an education on Bedford trucks! On the Australia Day weekend in 1885, some of the greatest athletes in Australia raced at the North Ipswich Reserve. Please follow the link via my profile to read, hear and share the story, "Pedestrian Kings: Australia Day Match Races." Café Alexandra was the place to be on Australia Day in the 1930s when Toowoomba puffed out its chest with pride. Follow the link on my profile to read and hear the story, "Parades, Pastries, and Patriotism: Toowoomba’s Australia Day Story." Iran is in the news, and this is a classified exposé about a British spy in Iran 100 years ago. Please follow the link on my profile for the amazing story, "The Fairley Affair: Oil, Espionage, and Murder in Iran."
