@TomSmit25712310 Is it true …are you the peoples Poet Tom, or are you just another fascist? And did you go to Scumbag College with someone I know? Love your work Tom. Let’s shred!

[Leigh Radford @CaptainRural]

@zdaniel Yes, yes, yes!

[Leigh Radford @CaptainRural]

Just brilliant to be partnering with the #AIA and #AUASA to hear Oli Le Lievre to talk about disruption in industry communications. Thanks Alex Thomas for hosting the event and Oli for challenging our thinkingand thank you to all students who came along to hear the news. #RMC2023

Downunder does Mt Lofty. The final@stage of the TDU past our place five times today …choppers, coppers, cones, cars and cyclists everywhere. And a perfect day for the the whole circus …and all the other MAMIL brigade

You’ll be hearing a lot about damaged roads in the next few weeks, here’s an idea of how severe that damage is.

Out on the floodplains north of Bendigo.

[Leigh Radford @CaptainRural]

More rain, more mountain snow to season-high levels this week and the storages are all full. So how big will the #flood be in the Murray this year?

An update from Laanecoorie weir:

[Leigh Radford @CaptainRural]

Extraordinarily proud of this young bloke, who is living proof that the fourth generation is the best yet … and by some margin. Go hard @RadarReporting … love your work!

[Luke Radford @RadarReporting]

As a fourth generation ABC employee, forever cursed to be chained to the National Broadcaster, I hope it’ll still be here in another 90 years. The ABC is far from perfect, but it’s an organisation like no other, and I hope it can continue to offer something for everyone. #ABC90

@RadarReporting @Caroline_Winter Belinda did... looks like she was right

[Leigh Radford @CaptainRural]

@courtzfowler One of the best regions in Oz!

When I asked NSW farmer Ben Jackson for some footage of his newly-green paddocks, I didn’t expect he’d go one step further. I give you... sheep forming the ABC ‘worm’ logo. And a bit of a rain dance from Ben! 💃🏻 🐑 👏🏻 @BreakfastNews @abcnews @ABCRural

[Leigh Radford @CaptainRural]

Back in the saddle and the reason I look worried, is because it’s like the apocalypse has arrived on what was beautiful Kangaroo Island. On air tonight tracking the most extraordinary fires ever seen on the island - a disaster for the community, farmers ...and the environment.

[ABC Adelaide @abcadelaide]

ABC Leigh Radford @CaptainRural has told @debstribe he's watching the Cudlee Creek fire from his home. "I'm looking North East from Mount Lofty of the fire, it is massive! This plume of smoke coming from the fire & the wind is not good under these conditions." @CFSAlerts #SAfires

[Leigh Radford @CaptainRural]

@kirstenaiken Great to talk to you on air today Kirsten - warmest wishes to you! (No bushfire pun intended!)

[Leigh Radford @CaptainRural]

Brilliant to hear a true advocate of Australian agriculture talking with conviction in Adelaide about the future of farming in this country. So many issues and the NFF working hard to promote the interests of farming. Hats off to you Fiona Simson! #royaladelaideshow #nff

[Leigh Radford @CaptainRural]

This is a brilliant initiative and will be fascinating to see what a difference eliminating cats from even a small part of the state will make for wildlife #NoCatsinAus

Vale Jim McCarter - a giant of SA agricultural Journalism. He was a true gentleman and respected for his unfailing adherence to standards of fair, balanced and contextualised reporting of facts. https://t.co/OcoQdH5ytb
