Airchecks and interviews of Cameron Scott- Bohanna

Coming to the World Theatre in Charters Towers on the 28th of October is the Umbilical Brothers brand new show: The Distraction, mixing cinema and live performance into a spectacle never before seen. 

On this day in London in 1814, a massive flood occurred in the suburb of Camden. But this was no ordinary flood, it was a flood of beer. Porter to be precise. Between 580,000–1,470,000 litres escaped and flooded the nearby streets, tragically killing nine and destroying two houses. I gave more details on the show this morning.

Today is Gwen Stefani's birthday. I did a tribute to the No Doubt lead singer on the show this morning.

Live read for Charters Towers Alcoholics Anonymous.

As most of us are aware, an organization helping people overcome the effects of alcoholism is Alcoholics Anonymous.  I recently sat down with one member of the Charters Towers AA to talk about this important group and how it can help people overcome their alcohol addiction.

I had a quick chat with Noel Tunny , an historian about the launch of his new book titles- "The Towers Leads" highlighting the mining and military history of Charters Towers, from the Civic Club.

In this interview I had a chat with Charters Towers Mayor, Frank Beveridge about the council's recent inaugural business breakfast featuring people from local businesses, non-profits and education groups. We also talked about the recent flying fox migration and an event I'm sure citizens are all looking forward to- the Towers Rush Festival on the 30th of September.

With a massive motorbike ride from Ipswich over the past few weeks, members of the Radschool Association have arrived in Charters towers on their massive inland ride to Townsville to raise money for Legacy. I caught up with one of the participants, Roz Curran to talk about how they are going.

The third Hughenden Campdraft is coming up soon to raise funds for the RFDS. I talked to the Flinders Shire Mayor, Jane McNamara all about this and a whole lot more that has been happening in the region.
