Our Studios Have a New Sound and Look Fantastic!

Click here for photos from the last day of painting and here for the day after - cleaning and putting it all back together again.

We're back on air! Everyone who's been in to check out the studios has had only one remark - "It's great!" Indeed it is and we are very proud. But...you might be wondering why the photo of the bowl of citrus on the floor of one of the studios. The tradies gave us a trick - soak some oranges and lemons in some water, leave it overnight and it takes away the smell of fresh paint. Easy! Hmmm, looking at that now, I wonder if the fruit had anything to do with the new colours in the studios.

Thanks are due to the Council, the builder and plasterer for seeing through this rectification, as well as the painter. Thanks also to those who helped to pack all the gear away and those who helped afterwards with cleaning and reinstalling. Thanks too to Sheng for his technical expertise in helping us to broadcast from an off-site location during the work.

Drop in and have a look at our well sound-proofed and spruced up studios with their new look paint. It's just not quite the same as as the photos - click here to see the progress from Day 1.

Community Story

Nightmare Powerline Plans - listen here

Two landowners told Kris Waldron on her program, "A Little Peace of My World" on Thursday, 15 May 2008 how property values have dropped by half, people are losing sleep over health worries, relationships are being strained and life plans are being put on hold because 12 lines carrying 275,000 volts of electricity are to be run through their land and some of the most beautiful countryside in southeast Queensland, from Gympie to Eumundi. Mike Tsilfidis and Graham Smith talked about their pain and fury and how these lines will carve through 270 private properties even though they could run along the Bruce Highway instead. Mike and Graham are members of "Powerlines Action Group Eumundi (PAGE)" and are seeking your support, especially people with legal or writing skills. You can get more information on their website at www.saveeumundi.org. Listen to their full story below.
