A full studio, full of fun with Ro, Molly, Matilda and Tom all part of the action. How cool is the ABC? Participating in making great programs and having my kids watching it all come together is very special. For this edition of Hidden Treasures we recounted the recent experience of a trip to Armadale…

Click on the link above, or download if you prefer, the full edition of Have A Go News (hint: my story is on page 28). You’ll find the Perth Waterbike Company on the shores of the Swan River just on the southern side of the Narrows Bridge. They’re also over at Rottnest and Penny and…

As published in the West Australian Saturday edition travel supplement, West Travel: The Lesmurdie Falls, on the edge of the Darling Escarpment, is one of the best and most easily accessible natural features surrounding Perth. Remarkably, from entering the Northbridge Tunnel to arriving at Lesmurdie Falls National Park was little more than 30 minutes for…

Ro Edwards on ABC Saturday Breakfast is getting Perth up and about every weekend and being a part of her show is exciting and a lot of fun. Our program Hidden Treasures is making a habit of discovering places that have always been there but maybe you just haven’t stopped there before. Midland was originally…

Coogee was a great suburb to explore and discuss on Hidden Treasures for ABC Saturday Breakfast. Ro and I flicked back and forth between the then and the now and it’s what I love most about Coogee because what was once horrible is now wonderful. Coogee is a coastal suburb just to south of Fremantle…

For Hidden Treasures on ABC Saturday Breakfast, Ro and I discussed Mirrabooka. While it was sad to have to phone in for the show, rather than the scheduled Outside Broadcast at Mirrabooka Square, it was a good opportunity to share with listeners just what a great community and range of activities, and food, can be…

Is there anything better than meeting people? Even better than a sunset, even better than climbing a mountain. Meeting people fuels the soul and sparks the life in us. On a media trip to Malaysia last year I met one of India’s rising stars of journalism, Yvonne Jacob. Yvonne is the Features Editor for Just…

There’s a little island off the coast that for quite some time now has attracted Western Australians, other Australians and increasingly the international traveller seeking a genuine sand-in-your-toes destination or maybe just an insta-worthy-pic with the worlds cutest animal. Wadjemup (Rottnest) has just taken a couple of Red Bulls and is revved up for a…

Do we leave our values and compliance with rules at home when we check in to a hotel? As the hotel card is pushed down…

On the ABC Perth Radio Breakfast Show we recently discussed the continued popularity of dark tourism. It doesn’t have to be morbid but it does have to involve death in wars, disasters, murders, terrorism or assassinations. The darker side of history has meat on the bone and the gristle as well. We try to put ourselves…
