Be sure to tune into ABC Landline at 12.30pm this Sunday, September 20 for a national television story about the value the Tamborine Mountain News, The Canungra Times and Beaudesert Bulletin bring to the communities we serve.

Over four fast and furious days of filming recently, host Pip Courtney and cameraman Curtis Rodda explored the eastern Scenic Rim, focusing on the importance of local newspapers and picking up other stories along the way.

Ms Courtney interviewed the directors of Scenic Rim Media – Kate Cahill, Susie Cunningham and Keer Moriarty at their Beaudesert office before exploring Canungra and Tamborine Mountain.

They attended the Vietnam Veteran's Day service at Kokoda Barracks, talking to locals after the service, including Tamborine Mountain RSL Sub Branch President Phill Hunter, before heading up the mountain.

Filming on the mountain included an interview with Cr Amanda Hay and a cameo appearance by Alick Kilsby, who Ms Courtney described as "the Brad Pitt of the mountain".

They also gathered footage at the inaugural Scenic Conversations event at the Logan and Albert Hotel.

We were honoured to have Pip and Curtis out and we can't wait to see the story!
