My book “Dovercourt: Toowong’s Hidden Treasure and Its People”

I love going on assignment to out there places! Here I am recently exploring the Capricorn Caves in search of the endangered Ghost Bat in a cave system in which they've lived for half a million years. This weekend I’m going to Kalgoorlie from where I’ll be live after 8am Saturday on @westbremerradioipswich , and after 7.30am Tuesday on Dalring Downs radio #4AK, Brisbane time, with more incredible history out there stories! Beginning over 160 years ago, this bricklayer suffered a cruel stream of mysterious tragedies. Follow the link below to like, share and follow the story, "The Lovegrove Curse". It's a chilly and sombre trip home from the Gabba tonight, however the sight from the river of the old 1889 Customs House and the iconic 1940 Story Bridge always warm the heart. This is a 104-year-old love story of a young boy who wouldn't let geometry or geography stand between him and his true love. Please follow the link on my profile to love and share the story, "The Boy Who Cycled 150km for Love." Please follow for more. Chris Calcino of ABC Drive has applied his inimitable style to me telling the story of Chang the Chinese Giant. Wherever you are in the world at 5.50pm (Brisbane time) this Monday, tune in via the ABC Listen app to your favourite regional Queensland Local Radio station for this amazing retelling of a story from 1871! ABC Far North, ABC North Queensland, ABC Capricornia, ABC North West Queensland, ABC Western Queensland. Alcohol in Australian sport fuels violence, crime, and health issues. But not on the Tiwi Islands. The community has implemented programmes to reduce alcohol consumption including alcohol-free zones. This July I’m trekking to the 2026 Tiwi Islands football grand final to show that footy can be awesome without being drenched in drink. The Tiwi Islands are 2 ½ hours by ferry north of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Love of Australian Rules football runs deep. It's pride representing your community, your people. All donations are tax-deductible in Australia and go to the charity Drug ARM to reduce the harms of alcohol and other drugs. Follow the link on my profile for the "Tiwi Islands Hike for Health" tile to learn more and donate. It was 165 years ago that the most publicised elopement in Australian history came to a heart-breaking end, and the secret resides under this famous turf. Please follow the link on my profile for the story, "Under the Turf of Lang Park." I went prospecting and found these magical 200 million year old Thundereggs which are genuine time capsules from the late Triassic early Jurassic period. Small bipedal and large meat-eating or long-necked dinosaurs last breathed the very air trapped in the crystal cavities inside. Heartfelt prayers go out to the family of the Australian who this week was tragically killed while climbing to Machu Picchu in Peru. I visited the 15th-century Lost City of the Incas and can attest to the dangers involved climbing including the even steeper Wayna Picchu seen here that looks down on its Andes neighbour. It’s a wonderful world but be careful.
