Happy #MardiGras everyone I feel so lucky we were able to come together and celebrate. This years theme “Rise” - so we had a Phoenix to lead the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation float this year. My thanks to the staff and clients of BGF for creating the great costumes and marching once again.

Our spunky rooster Ciaran enjoying the twilight. When we thought he was a hen before he grew up, his name was Lucy after Lucy Turnbull AO We like to name our hens after impressive women.

Wow.. could you be anymore impressive Warren Ellis ? You have a wildlife sanctuary ? Amazing, what a good and talented human are.

Well done this morning and all the mornings Fran Kelly You are the best of us.

This woman is remarkable. Why do as a country keep letting her down? Only a few I realise, but why?

One of the loveliest and most talented humans leaves the ABC with this final overview from his time as Director of Editorial Policies. Enjoy your retirement Craig McMurtrie and thanks for being such a wonderful colleague over many years. abc.net.au/news/backstory…

John, thank you for taking a punt on the crazy idea of teaming up with an elderly (especially for the youth network) and sometimes cantankerous priest and creating some of the most interesting and joyful radio. He was one of a kind #ValeFatherBob triple j
