This is one world record you can bank on, at least if you lived in the Ming Dynasty in China. It's for the world's oldest surviving bank notes which were first printed during the reign of the Hongwu Emperor (1368–1398). I revealed this record on the brekky show this morning. Dollar for dollar, that's a pretty penny.

Today the talented cast of Towers Players are performing a musical based on this historic event, written by the staff of the Charters Towers Visitor Information Centre. Dates are May 1&2, 2025 at St Paul's Playhouse.

Simba would be proud.

A great unsolved mystery is coming to life at St Paul's Playhouse on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd of May. It's called the Great Gold Robbery Of Charters Towers. I recently talked to the director, Allan Georgee about this play and the true story behind it.

This Guinness World Record certainly paints a pretty picture. It's for the world's most expensive painting that sold at a Christie's Auction in New York in 2017 for US $450,312,500 by an anonymous buyer. At one point it sold for only $59 as it was thought to be a copy.

Almost enough to pay off the mortgage.
