| After a career spanning three decades at the ABC, Jon Faine will be presenting his final radio program this Friday 11 October. Joining Jon will be a reunion of many of the beloved voices from his years with ABC Radio Melbourne, political leaders, long time regulars and a fabulous selection of Melbourne performers.
While registrations have closed for the event, we encourage tune in from 8.30am. Jon has nominated the Koorie Heritage Trust as our charity partner for the event - you can donate here. | | |

| | Whether you are delighted that I am finally leaving or sad that I will not be on your radio anymore, I ask you to think of making a donation to the Koorie Heritage Trust. I thank you, it has been a blast. |
