RADIO 4US

RADIO 4US RADIO 4US In the middle of 1998 the committee obtained a licence after 3 years of planning and negotiating to establish Radio 4US. We say 'Thank You'.

First and foremost we would like to acknowledge and pay respects to the Darumbal Elders, the Fitzroy Basin Elders and all other Elders within Central Queensland. Thank you for allowing us to operate on Darumbal Country, for your strength, wisdom, knowledge handed down and enabling us to keep our culture alive and well! The committee was led by the late Stacey Miller. Stacey Miller was the founder

of CQACM, which later 4US come under. It is for this reason that we acknowledge and officially recognize the Late Stacey Miller, the original woman who fought blood, sweat and tears to get 4US off the ground and running. Without her dream, drive, ambition and hard work, 4US would not exist. We recognize Stacey for everything she did and achieved, including special mention to Che (Miller) who designed the logo for Radio 4US. Radio 4US was born from people who bled and cried for this station. It was born from someone who had that 'fire' in her belly to be the 'voice' for the dis empowered and downtrodden. A lot of people would not know about the land rights movement or any of the other political stances taken in Queensland by some of our elders, and it is people like Stacey and others who have been amongst it all. People who did this for the betterment of the black community. 4US will endeavor to run this station for it's original purpose and intentions and are determined to keep the Late Stacey Miller's dream alive. Stacey Miller's family sacrificed a lot for this station, including her children and today we pay respects, we recognize and make these acknowledgements to the Late Stacey Miller who is the FOUNDING MEMBER of Radio 4US. Radio 4US originally operated out of the old AICC building, before finding the Quay Street location. At the time Jeffrey Tull was the Chairperson and Patrick Malone was instrumental in helping 4US hit the airwaves. All acknowledgements to these key people who got 4US off the ground and kept it going, thank you. Originally, the station was situated on Quay Street, in the old harbour board building on the river bank, south side. During this time broadcasting was conducted out of a bus supplied by ABC while the studios were being built. These studios were built entirely by Murri (ATSI) People led by Mr Dennis (Mop) Conlon. In the year of 2000, the studios were completed. Later in 2004, the station was then transferred out to The Dreamtime Cultural Centre' where it is located now. This station has had the joy of many people come through either to work, sing, interview, host shows or just spend time. These mob have made 4US what it is today. Radio 4us plays all the 'deadliest' music for all you mob 24/7. We continue to tell 'our stories', be a 'voice' for the community', fight the struggle and endeavor to help 'closing the gap'.

Rock NAIDOC Spotlight Ranger Series –

Uncle Fred Conway (Bidjara & Barada Elder)

“Strength, Vision & Legacy”

Uncle Fred Conway’s story is one of quiet power, cultural resilience, and deep love for Country.

Born in Woorabinda in 1944, Uncle Fred grew up under the tight control of the mission system. But despite those barriers, he went on to become a Celbrated Cultural Educator, Park Ranger, and one of Central Queensland’s most Respected Elders.

For over 30 years, Uncle Fred worked as a Queensland Parks and Wildlife Ranger at Carnarvon Gorge, protecting sacred rock art, walking Dreaming tracks, and sharing the true history of the land with thousands of visitors. His tours were more than just storytelling they were truth-telling, grounded in deep cultural knowledge and pride.

In 2005, he helped establish the Aboriginal Seasonal Ranger Program, creating space for young Aboriginal people to reconnect with Country and walk proud in both cultural and environmental knowledge.

Through every challenge including serious health battles, Uncle Fred has stood strong for his people. He’s been a fierce advocate for better health outcomes, cultural recognition, and protecting sacred sites.

In recognition of his lifetime of service, he was named a Queensland Great in 2014 and awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2020 the very same day he completed cancer treatment.

“This is not just for me this is for all the people of Woorabinda and Indigenous people across the country.” - Uncle Fred

How Uncle Fred Embodies the NAIDOC 2025 Theme

🖤 Strength – A lifetime dedicated to protecting culture, teaching truth, and walking tall even through sickness and struggle.

💛 Vision – Creating pathways for young people to become rangers and caretakers of their own Country.

❤️ Legacy – His knowledge lives on in the land, in the stories he’s told, and in the generations he’s guided to walk in his footsteps.

Uncle Fred’s legacy is embedded into the trees, the tracks, and the hearts of those who’ve had the privilege to walk beside him. He is a living example of what this year’s NAIDOC theme is all about.

Uncle Fred. Thank you for your leadership, your strength, and your lifelong commitment to caring for Country and Community.
