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." Over a century ago a secret was kept from the governor that almost drive him to torture. Follow the link on my profile for the story, "The Minister, the Governor, and the Ghost in the Family." New Year’s has never been big in Ipswich, and here are some of the dullest. Please follow the link on my profile for the story, "Dullest New Year’s on Earth: An Ipswich Tradition." I found the broken grave of a hero of the 1893 floods who is long forgotten. Please follow the link on my profile to read the whole story, "Beyond the Sangster memorial: the other hero of the 1893 floods." https://www.instagram.com/p/DStvV77j8m7/ On Christmas morning 1932, a mysterious death claimed a Queensland rugby league star which remains unsolved to this day. Read and hear via the link on my profile the full story "The Christmas morning poisoning."
