Australia All Over

Australia All Over Welcome to the official Australia All Over page.

Our purpose on-air every Sunday morning is to hopefully spread a little joy, and a little Aussie spirit and humour.

Colin was aways turning up at the studio or ringing me from somewhere in Australia, where he was either always on tour or visiting and raising spirits in flood affected area like Alpha and Jericho, where he hitched a ride with the RAAF who were doing flood relief. I first met and worked with Colin in 1973 and since that time we've kept in regular touch. Along with may thousands of Australians whose passing leaves a gap in our lives.
As my friend John Singleton says no one was ever worse off for knowing Col Joye.
This is one of my favourite pics.
Talk to you Sunday
PS We will be in Adelaide for the Adelaide show and in Perth for the Perth show might see you there.

We're in Tamworth this Sunday Australia Day in lower Peel Street outside the ABC.
Come along and say g'day to Australia and celebrate the wonderful country we live in.

By the way bring a chair, couldn't get hold of the council.

Just wanted to share with you a couple of things firstly Mark Campbell our vet correspondent and his creative method of stopping stink bugs on his citrus. If you missed the story it is on our podcast and see the attached photo.
Also have a look at Macca's grass tree spear, the one that is leaning over, like the leaning tower of Pisa. The spear itself must be at least 10 feet long. What a beauty!
And for those of you you have been asking about Macca's concerts at Christmas he has two concerts with his Gumboot Band and guests., both fundraisers
Firstly Laycock Theatre Gosford Saturday 21st December 2.30pm
and Richmond School of Arts Monday 23rd December 8pm

G’day Everybody
Just realised that although I’ve been to Cairns many times, firstly with Col Joye - in the 70’s, we’ve never done an OUTSIDE broadcast, have done a few concerts, but no outside broadcast in Cairns
So, I’m looking forward to meeting you on the’ Esplanade near Upward Street in Cairns on Sunday 21st July from 0530
Come along and say G’day to Australia, you’ll recognise me I’ll be wearing my Aussie made phone box T shirt.
Come and join your fellow Aussies on the Esplanade Sunday 21st July, love to see you

Thank you for your support this year. Hope you have enjoyed the program as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you.
Looking forward to a break, and some fine weather perhaps, bit of reading, bit of guitar, gardening and a surf. May get to Evans Head with a bit of luck.
Looking forward to 24. Hope it's a goody, well better than 2023 if you know what I mean.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
from Macca and the Team
