One of the best things about Christmas and summer is the opportunity to try out those summer Christmas presents to get you to the beach. From scoop nets to wet suits, boogies boards to sandcastle buckets and masks and snorkels. In 2021 Hidden Treasures went to a few beaches but didn’t seem to go in…

For the final program for 2021, Hidden Treasures on ABC Perth Saturday Breakfast went further than we’ve ever been before and brought in the biggest guest (sorry Ben Carlish) we’ve ever had … Santa Claus! Santa left the studio very quickly when he heard the reindeers on the roof getting restless. In fact, he left…

Enjoy listening to the audio and reading a few words as well: The dingo. It’s a landmark. The flour mill is heritage listed and the famous logo was first painted…

On ABC Saturday Breakfast we discovered Port Kennedy and Secret Harbour. There’s no port and there’s no harbour. But there’s still a lot to do and for us to talk about. When I was a boy, the area was wild and the only inhabitants were an odd collective of shack owners and my girlfriends family…

The Romans knew the value of a good stadium didn’t they? Can you imagine doing a tour of the Colosseum when it was at its peak? Game day at the Colosseum may have had more on the line for most of the participants but just to have walked through the service tunnels and holding cells…

Hidden Treasures is coming off an amazing exploration last weekend of jetties around Western Australia and this weekend we thought we might slow down the pace of things. A bit like when you’re on the country highways and hit those little towns that require you to slow down from 110 to 60, our next Hidden…

We’ve discovered on Hidden Treasures that when I’m set a challenge there are familiar themes that come up. I try to please Ro by finding a sporting venue and I love a roadtrip and love a good fish burger. There’s something else though that is regularly described in Hidden Treasures and we’ve put together a…
