+ the top ten recipes of 2020 and rare Dugong mating footage
| | Happy New Year!
We’re back and we’ve hit the ground running with our masks on…Brad the Traffic guy certainly proved the winner in the facial fashion stakes!
Our first show for 2021 felt like groundhog day as we navigated our way through the latest Covid 19 restrictions, the lockdown and mandatory masks for Greater Brisbane.
Thanks for sticking with us through last year and we promise to keep you up to date with what’s happening in our city, share your stories and also have some fun in 2021.
So, catch you bright and early from 5am Monday to Friday, and don’t forget to play ‘You Snooze You Lose’ with us every day at 5:15am.
Cheers,
Craig and Loretta |
