In the crackling call he painted an awe-inspiring picture: a pale dawn breaking over the Black Sea far below, the silhouette of Istanbul off to the west as he flew toward daybreak. \u201cNot a bad office view, mate,\u201d he chuckled. He explained that he tunes into ABC via satellite whenever he\u2019s piloting long hauls \u2013 \u201cHearing Macca and the callers, it\u2019s like I\u2019ve got Australia in the cockpit with me.\u201d The captain gave a shout-out to his family in Brisbane and even let his co-pilot say a quick g\u2019day. Macca was tickled by the truly all over nature of the moment, joking that it might be the show\u2019s highest-ever call. Before signing off to prepare for descent, the pilot cheerily promised, \u201cI\u2019ll drop you a line again from somewhere over the world, Macca \u2013 blue skies!&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OZIWxus9w5Q?si=Lwygy8E3wtAOn5CD\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Silo art sparks town pride: <\/strong>From Pingaring, WA, came a heartwarming update on how art is bringing new life to a tiny wheatbelt town. A local farmer\u2019s wife named Ellen rang in to tell Macca about their brand new silo mural completed just days ago. The massive grain silos now bear a vibrant painting of the region\u2019s early settlers and wildflowers, 30 metres high and impossible to miss. \u201cYou can see old Bill Jones driving his horse team across a field of everlastings \u2013 four stories tall!\u201d she laughed, describing the scene. Ever since the mural was finished, locals have been gathering at sunset to admire it, and travelers on the highway are detouring into Pingaring for a look. The caller said the project was a labor of love by an artist from Perth and dozens of volunteers. It\u2019s already become the pride of the community. \u201cFor the first time in ages, our town\u2019s on the map \u2013 literally, tour companies are adding us!\u201d she said excitedly. Macca loved the story, noting how country ingenuity and art can lift spirits and put a speck on the map in a big way. He mused that he\u2019ll have to swing by Pingaring on his next WA visit to see those giant painted pioneers gazing out over the wheat fields.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QQm5pXbc1lc?si=TjjGoyp0IU5FrmGq\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Roo rush at the waterhole:<\/strong> A southwest Queensland station owner provided a classic outback yarn tinged with the reality of a drying land. Phil from near Cunnamulla rang in to report that, after a wet spring last year, conditions have sharply turned to drought \u2013 and the kangaroos know it. He woke up this week to find hundreds of thirsty roos crowding the last functional bore drain on his property. \u201cIt was like an outback version of the Boxing Day sales \u2013 roos shoulder-to-shoulder at the trough,\u201d he said. At first light, he counted about 200 kangaroos jostling alongside his cattle for a sip of water. The unexpected visitors knocked down part of a boundary fence and chewed through a poly pipe in their frenzy. Phil\u2019s tone was a mix of wry humor and concern; the sight of so many kangaroos told him the country beyond his fences has little feed or water left. He\u2019s carting water every second day now to keep up with demand. \u201cWhen the roos start acting like livestock, you know it\u2019s dry, mate,\u201d he noted. Macca and Phil shared a laugh about the roos\u2019 rowdy behavior \u2013 \u201cthey didn\u2019t even queue up, Macca!\u201d \u2013 but both understood the seriousness behind it. The caller recalled the late-\u201970s drought when similar scenes played out and said he\u2019s hoping for rain before things get truly dire. The story gave listeners a vivid image of life on the land: cracking black soil, mobs of desperate kangaroos, and a stoic grazier doing what it takes to get through another dry spell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yGNhKFtrHaA?si=dD9g3u3bFFWIJIfQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u201cLiquid gold\u201d olive harvest: <\/strong>A sweet and savory report came from Boort, Victoria, where an olive grower named Marco just wrapped up an abundant autumn harvest. He manages a small family grove of about 500 olive trees, originally planted by his Italian grandfather in the 1950s. Marco\u2019s call brimmed with pride as he described pressing this season\u2019s olives into oil. An unseasonably mild April with just enough rain led to a bumper crop of plump purple-black olives. The first cold-press extra virgin oil of the year flowed just last week, and Marco could hardly contain his excitement. \u201cIt pours out green-gold, and the aroma fills the shed \u2013 fresh cut grass, apples, a bit of pepper at the end,\u201d he said, practically tasting it over the phone. He\u2019s been bottling up the new oil to share at the local farmer\u2019s market. Macca, a known foodie, peppered Marco with questions about the process, joking that he could almost smell the frantoio (olive press) from the studio. Marco explained how his family still picks many of the olives by hand to avoid bruising the fruit, and how they cure a portion for table olives using his Nonna\u2019s old recipe. He chuckled when he admitted his kids roll their eyes at the \u201cold-fashioned\u201d ways, but he\u2019s teaching them that some traditions are worth keeping. The call offered a delicious slice of regional life \u2013 heritage trees, hard work and a product that connects bush and table. Macca signed off by congratulating Marco and suggesting listeners seek out real local olive oil if they can: \u201cIt\u2019s the good stuff \u2013 liquid gold straight from the grove,\u201d as Marco proudly said.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kEk1pmfhIj0?si=UXhFPKsoWfLJ1xg9\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cross-country on a tractor: <\/strong>In one of the more delightfully quirky segments of the morning, Macca caught up with two mates who are driving a 70-year-old tractor across Australia for charity. Glen and \u201cCrusty\u201d (as he introduced himself) phoned in from the side of the Nullarbor Plain, where they had paused their vintage 1950 Ferguson tractor to take Macca\u2019s call. They\u2019re chugging along at 20 km\/h from Perth to Byron Bay to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Glen described the scene: the little grey tractor puttering on the endless highway with a bright orange \u201cSlow Vehicle\u201d triangle on the back and a support ute following close behind. \u201cWe\u2019ve got our swag, a toolbox, and plenty of WD-40 \u2013 that\u2019s about it!\u201d he laughed. They\u2019ve been on the road for three weeks now, covering roughly 100 km a day when weather permits. Along the way, strangers at roadhouses have donated to the cause and offered meals (and mechanical advice). Crusty told Macca the roughest stretch so far was crossing the WA\/SA border in blasting winds: \u201cMate, sitting at 5 miles an hour into a headwind feels like walking pace \u2013 but we\u2019ll get there!\u201d The pair take turns at the wheel to stave off \u201ctractor backache\u201d and say the camaraderie of Aussies they meet keeps them going. Macca was clearly charmed, dubbing them the \u201cslowest great race in Australia.\u201d He promised to give RFDS a plug and wished them good weather and steady running. As they fired up the old Ferguson to continue eastward, Glen signed off with a grin, \u201cWe\u2019ll give her an extra toot for ya, Macca, each morning!\u201d \u2013 a true-blue sign of two determined blokes and one very old tractor making a difference, one mile at a time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0kfAlINxeKY?si=yh-pUD3amzHLkxHT\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Other calls included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dogs on parade: <\/strong>A quick check-in from Sydney\u2019s Million Paws Walk had listeners practically hearing the excited barks in the background. An event organizer breathlessly reported thousands of people and their pooches flooding into Centennial Park for the annual RSPCA fundraiser. \u201cThere\u2019s a sea of wagging tails and tutus \u2013 even the dachshunds are dressed up!\u201d she shouted over the cheerful chaos, noting that it was their biggest turnout in years thanks to sunny skies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dozen chooks delight: <\/strong>\u201cDon from Dubbo\u201d made everyone smile with his light-hearted update from the chook yard. He called to proudly share that his 12 pet hens had finally all started laying. Don rattled off each chook\u2019s name on air \u2013 from Henrietta to Princess Layer \u2013 and joked that he\u2019s got more eggs than he knows what to do with now. \u201cThe girls are happy and the grandkids get free brekkie, so it\u2019s a win-win,\u201d he laughed, inviting Macca for scrambled eggs if he\u2019s ever out Dubbo way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>First snow of the season:<\/strong> Winter\u2019s approach got a mention from a weather watcher in Victoria\u2019s high country. Simon from Mount Hotham rang in to confirm it snowed overnight \u2013 a light dusting, but enough to turn the peaks white at dawn. \u201cBrass monkeys weather, Macca \u2013 minus 2 and beautiful,\u201d he reported. Ski operators are buzzing with the earliest snow in a decade, and Simon had already broken out the snow shovel and the billy for a warm cuppa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Century of wisdom:<\/strong> Among the morning\u2019s memorable personalities was Stan from Mackay, who phoned in at age 100 to prove you\u2019re never too old to be part of the show. Spry-voiced and cheeky, Stan shared the secret of his longevity: \u201cKeep busy, have a laugh, and a teaspoon of golden syrup every morning.\u201d He told a quick yarn about hearing Australia All Over on his shed radio since the program began in the 1980s, and thanked Macca for \u201ckeeping me company all these years.\u201d It was a simple, touching moment \u2013 one generation saluting another \u2013 and it earned a heartfelt happy birthday chorus from the studio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to the podcast episode <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/listen\/programs\/australiaallover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Disclaimer: <\/strong>Brisbane Suburbs Online News has no affiliation with Ian McNamara or the &#8220;Australia All Over Show.&#8221; This weekly review is an attempt to share the wonderful stories that Ian broadcasts each week and add value to what is a smorgasbord of great insights.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Other calls included: Listen to the podcast episode here.
