Airchecks and interviews of Cameron Scott- Bohanna

A sad day for the world. She carried out her duties with grace in good times and bad, through success and family scandal. The world has changed many times throughout her reign, both socially and politically but many still held deep affection for her. She was a member of over 600 charities and organizations and the second- longest reigning monarch in history (after Louis XIV).

I always enjoyed her Christmas messages and have always thought that she exemplified how a monarch and world leader should act.

Regardless of how one feels about Britain and the empire, the world will truly miss a queen of her dignity.

Rest in peace Your Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The world won't be the same without you.

The Charters Towers Charity Ball was on last weekend and what an amazing event it was! I spoke to Towers Jockey Club's Sally Kirkwood about this ball as well as the Ladies Day Races at Cloncurry and Ewan races later this month.

On this day in motor racing........

The flamboyant lead singer of the iconic rock group Queen, who was known for his remarkable vocal range celebrates a birthday today. I did a tribute to the legendary Freddie Mercury on the show this morning.

Today is August 29th, the birthday of one of the best entertainers in history. I did a tribute to Michael Jackson on the show this morning.

Have you ever seen a picture of a wolf’s eyes and seen something mysteriously menacing in them compared to those of a dog?

Well, there’s a good reason for that. I explained on the show this morning.

Tomorrow night is going to be a delight for the tastebuds at the Charters Towers Jockey Club. The Annual Taste Of The Towers festival is happening 5pm with many participants cooking it out in the annual cook-off and you can enter into the "eat free for a month raffle". I spoke to one of the organizers, Arthur Wright all about this delectable festival. 

Today is the birthday of the original James Bond actor, Sean Connery. I did a tribute to him on the show this morning. 

I had another chat this week with Towers Jockey Club's Sally Kirkwood about their win at the Master Builders' Housing and Construction Awards and a couple of great events happening at the club, such as the Taste Of The Towers this Friday and the upcoming Charity Ball on September 3rd which features the Melbourne Cup.

I caught up with the Mayor of Charters Towers, Frank Beveridge about the upcoming Rush Festival, the alarming vandalism done to Boer War Kiosk & Defiance Mill Park, the upgrade to the Water Park and the Have Your Say Portal.
