Anyone in SEQ up in the morning sky and see a string of white lights this morning ? Moving like Satellites north North east? @JontiHorner approximately 5:15am…
Startling change to the count in Groom. Independent Suzie Holt has reached the final pair after preferences despite polling 4th with only 8.3%. 2022 is a remarkable election. #ausvotes https://t.co/dd9JKEXSEk
@sallyQCL@qclnews@OUTBACK_QLD Fantastic to see POM arrive safely to her new home. We wish her, Richard and his team all the very best. As one chapter closes another opens so stay tuned for some big news for Echuca coming soon @abcnews
Even weaner buffaloes were sold at the Longreach sale today, the first for nine years. They flowed well through the redesigned sale ring, just as the cattle did #ringinginthechanges@qclnews@GarryE_AAMIG
The Southern Downs town of Allora was the first place in Qld to erect a Boer War memorial - on Saturday a big crowd watched as Light Horse troops commemorated the 120th anniversary of that war's end, on May 31, 1902. The names of four local men are inscribed.
935 days after they last raced here, the #BirdsvilleRaces 2021 are underway, in 2022. Mackay trainer John Manzelmann went 1,2,3 in the first - unsurprising as he owned and trained all the starters! Pity the race caller Josh Fleming! @qclnews
Yep, you know when Fred Brophy rallies them up, the #Birdsvilleraces are back in town. It's going to be a warm one for the first day of the historic event, being held for the first time in its history in April. @qclnews is here!
I can't remember the topic I was interviewing @afsnsw on but I do remember it was hard to take notes because I kept on wanting to join in - most likely something to do with future farming and labour. Thanks @FionaLakeAus for the memory!
Going through the archives for something & came across this pic, can't believe this was nearly 7 years ago, @sallyQCL & @afsnsw!
(At the @IFAJ 'Hot Tropics' pre-conference tour in Cairns...back when carefree roaming was still a thing.)
@FionaLakeAus@afsnsw@IFAJ Seven years?! And I still own that top! I remember that animated discussion - the whole @ifajcairns2015 tropics trip was full of interest thanks to @AusAgJournos and where I was first introduced to some wonderful people I now call friends.
Broome ABC office this morning: anti vax protesters fire off air horns, mega phones, shout, faces pushed up against the glass. Inside staff working overtime to provide emergency bushfire warnings as fire threatens homes just outside town.
Just FYI I’m a 29 year old journo who reports primarily on rural issues and the environment. Today this kind lady had some words for me in line at the @Mackay_Coffee. Big thanks to the staff for defending me and calling security
An important story from @sallyQCL about a Chinchilla man fined $100 for something commonplace that doesn't appear to be a crime, according to the legislation - and how anyone in similar circumstances could lose their gun licence if they didn't fight it.
