Now that February is upon us, it feels like 2025 is officially underway. Most people are back at work, the kids are heading off to school, and I’m taking the ABC Breakfast show back on the road. 
 

Hopefully you tuned in on Wednesday for the first in our ‘Breakfast By The Lake’ series from Lake Joondalup, in the Yellagonga Regional Park. Throughout February, I’ll be hitting up four more of our beautiful suburban lakes. 
 

The next stop is Galup (Lake Monger) which is rich in history and has an abundance of bird life, nature trails and stunning views. Come and find me on the south-eastern edge of the lake, near the pump and jump track, from 5-8am on Wednesday February 5. 
 

If you’ve got any suggestions for other must-see lakes in Perth, please get in touch: markg@abc.net.au and remember, if you can’t make it along to the live broadcast you can hear it all on 720 ABC Radio Perth or via the Listen app. 
 

Oh, and make sure you tune in to the Breakfast show on Monday when one lucky listener will win our Golden Ticket prize. This competition has been incredibly popular and I can’t wait to make someone’s day with a surprise phone call. 
 

Thanks for listening,
 

Mark.
