  • 6PR with Burgo: We’re heading down south … with a blanket

    In the 1990’s my brother sang in The Neptunes and one of their best songs was, ‘Down South’. It was about surfing, heading down south once you’ve finished the exams and having a good time before having to come back to Perth. Just saying ‘down south’ is enough. If you’re from Western Australia you know…

    On 6PR with Burgo we made our way through the drinks menu of our travels. One of our callers described his experience of drinking Shochu in Japan which is a very spirited drink and left a lasting memory of his visit to Japan. A favourite roadhouse for a cold milkshake, a hidden bar for a…

  • 6PR with Burgo! Sports Tourism is all about saying, ‘I was there!’

    On 6PR Weekend Wrap Up, I found myself sharing the airwaves with John Burgess, an icon of Australian television and radio. A tv game show host legend and a radio dj when dj’s were gods of the airwaves. It was very cool to laugh our way through stories about sports tourism. From callers with tales…

  • 6PR – Where are the best bakeries in Western Australia?

    It was lots of fun to learn where our best bakeries are. Heats in Cockburn was a surprise that many callers say have the best donuts. Rottnest Bakery wasn’t a surprise nomination and it’s a great example of what we like about our favourite bakeries when we travel. They’re part of that rite of passage…

    On 6PR with Rusty, we swam with dolphins, watched some bilbies and even made time to debate whether a cream bun should have mock cream or real cream. Enjoy listening to the show on the bar below. Let me know if it inspires you to head down to Dryandra or Rockingham or anywhere that’s got…

  • A Wheatbelt Weekender

    A Wheatbelt Weekender

    There’s some bias to be declared. I’m a Narrogin boy.  I haven’t lived there since 1988 but it’s still where I call home and my kids love getting back there every year to see where I went to school, got into fights, played sport (sometimes well, sometimes not) and the houses I lived in. For this…
