• 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…

  • 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…

  • 6PR “Up, up the long delirious burning blue”

    On 6PR on a recent summers weekend on the airwaves, we took to the skies to discover how getting into the air can inspire your travel or be an exciting part of it. It was also an opportunity to reflect on my air moments. I used to love accompanying dad out to the Narrogin airstrip…
