With us, it can be a time for thinking, for planning, and for putting

things into place ready for action. It has applied to the Management

Committee of 1O2.7 FM, as each member has brought to the table

ideas that can make the station more enjoyable and profitable.

One of those ideas has been to take the station into the community

via outside broadcasts (OBs), where those thousands who have

never heard of us, despite the fact that we’ve been here for thirty-

five years, will have the opportunity to twiddle their radio dials and

find us, and maybe even join as listeners and financial members. You

can help too by talking about our programs with your friends.

Another idea has been to change our week-day early morning listen-

ing to suit the needs of those who are awake at those times on a

regular basis—the truckies who bring the supplies to our stores so

that we can shop confident of finding what we are after, or to take

our parcels and letters to the depots so that they can be delivered,

bless their big hearts. (Read the article to the right for details.)

Still again, another idea has been to make sure that our office is

opened and manned when you need to renew your membership,

bring in a community notice, or to phone for information about the

station. This prompted the need for regular receptionists to man the

phones and front desk, hence the notice below. Maybe you can help.

A further idea is to provide a standard of radio program that will

attract new listeners by conducting regular air-checks to see that

these standards are being met. This will mean a Program Standards

Committee who will listen and provide meaningful feedback about

how well our announcers are doing, and hints to them on how to

keep our programs up-to-date and professional-sounding.

Following this concept of professionalism was the thought that our

webpage could be improved dramatically, so this is happening. Take

a peep at how it looks now, and watch it continue to improve.

Finally there has been brainstorming on how to keep the station

financial during these hard economic times. Plans are now in place

to help pay the bills, and even to thrive from now on. You can help

by talking to friends in business about our wide audience and our

low sponsorship rates. We would appreciate your help.

Beginning on Easter weekend, the station included a propor-tion of country music to its 11pm to 6am programming, and in the beginning of June made it the predominant element.

With the ever-increasing number of transport vehicles driving our roads overnight, there has been a growing audience of truck drivers listening to radio as they pass the long, boring hours of darkness, with the occasional roadhouse truck-stop.

This audience largely appreciates the popular country music of Australia and the USA—the current hits that are making the Country Music Charts, along with classic favourite tunes from bygone years that were the hits of their youth.

At the moment the program is basic, but as time goes on we will be fine-tuning it to meet the needs of this audience, as we listen to their comments and requests for particular artists and styles. Hopefully they’ll enjoy it as they drive through.

Radio India Radio India Radio India Radio India can be heard on 1O2.7 FM on Monday nights, and is mainly in Hindi and English with special language segments each week aiming to cover the major languages in India, which include Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali and Tamil. Hindi is understood by neighbouring countries in the Indian sub-continent as well.

Special Language segments will also include Nepalese, Sinhala and Urdu. The program features classical instru-mental, classical songs, bollywood songs, classical poetry or ‘shayari’ as it is better known, as well as local items and Indian segments of topical interest.

“Judging by the phone calls I received over the 20 years, people seemed to enjoy it,” she said.

Coming from a musical family, Jean played piano and enjoyed a wide range of music. Each week she would gather up a number of CDs from her own personal collection to play on the radio.

In August 2007, aged 84, and starting to suffer from the effects of dementure, Jean decided to hang up her headphones and become more of a listener than a presenter of radio music in retirement.

Her two decades with the station were most enjoy-able, Jean said in an interview at the time.

“They are a friendly group to work with,” she said.

SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER:SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER:SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER:SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER:

• Your kids are becoming you... but your grandchildren are perfect!

• Going out is good... coming home is better!

• You forget names... but it's okay because other people forgot they even knew you!!

• The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.

• You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep".

• You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.

• You tend to use more 4-letter words, like “What? “When?”

• Now that you can afford expensive jewellery, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

• You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless".

• What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

• Everybody whispers.

• You have three sizes of clothes in your closet.... two of which you will never wear.

• Just when you reach a time when you are wise and want to make good use of your wisdom... your body falls apart!

• Don’t worry about opportunities missed... someone else will take advantage of them.

• Life is like a roll of toilet paper... the closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

• It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

• You used to sing, “All my friends are getting married.” Now you sing, “All my friends are getting buried.”

• Tell your family you love them one more time... just in case!

• Old Age is no place for the Elderly.

• You can’t choose how you feel, but you can choose what you can do about it.

• Old is good in some things... old songs, old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!

quickly and catching you unaware of quickly and catching you unaware of quickly and catching you unaware of quickly and catching you unaware of

the passing years. the passing years. the passing years. the passing years.

It seems just yesterday that I was

young, just married and embarking

on my new life with my mate. Yet in a

way, it seems like eons ago, and I

wonder where all the years went. I

know that I lived them all. I have

glimpses of how it was back then and

of all my hopes and dreams.

But, here it is; the winter of my life and it catches me by

surprise. How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go

and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older

people through the years and thinking that those older

people were years away from me and that winter was so

far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it

would be like.

But, here it is; my friends are retired and getting grey. They

move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in

better and some worse shape than me... but, I see the great

change. Not like the ones that I remember who were

young and vibrant... but, like me, their age is beginning to

show and we are now those older folks that we used to see

and never thought we'd be. Each day now, I find that just

getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a

nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't,

on my own free will, I just fall asleep where I sit!

And so, now I enter into this new season of my life

unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of

strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had

done but never did!! But, at least I know that though the

winter has come, I'm not sure how long it will last. This I

know, that when it's over on this earth, it’s over. A new

adventure will begin!

Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done,

things I should have done, but indeed, there are many

things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.

So, if you're not in your winter yet... let me remind you that

it will be here faster than you think. Whatever you would

like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put

things off too long!! Life goes by too quickly. Do what you

can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your

winter or not! You have no promise that you will see all the

seasons of your life, so live well for today and say all the

things that you want your loved ones to remember, and

hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things

that you have done for them in all the years past. "Life" is a

gift to you. The way you live it is your gift to those who

come after. Make it a fantastic one.

In 1996 Garden City Country Music Club was approached to help with the running of the competition. By this stage Bush Poetry, Line Dancing and Country Music were contested. Entries gradually increased as the years progressed – with 2004 attracting 275. With the interest in Line Dancing dwindling, this part of the competition was

dropped in 2001 and the Poetry performing section ceased in 2002. After ten more years, 2012 brought a change of venue from the Jondaryan Woolshed to Oakey Cultural Centre. There are two unique parts to “The Rush”:

• Variety Act (no other festi-val has this section) – each contestant performs two songs (one Australian song and any other coun-try song) instead of just one;

• Overall Trophy – each year a wooden trophy is hand- carved by Graham Turner. Previous trophies have been: Stockman and Dog, Wedgetail Eagle, Bullrider, Stockman and Saddle, Swaggie, Fencer, and Gold Panner – always epitomising the Australiana theme.
