On the first AAO of the year Macca receives a call from a retired plumber named Smiley, who is feeding his cows in Geelong; and Trevor recently saw the Kon-Tiki raft whilst in Norway.

There are also calls from Lindsay from St. Arnaud, and Ruth in Adelaide.

Ian replays two interviews which he recently recorded: with Jill Kopp about Sturt Desert Peas, and with apiarist Evelyn Hill.

And Peter phones-in from the scene of the recent WA bushfires.
