The Week on KZ Episode 009

from The Week on KZ · host Coastal Broadcasters

This week Bretto chats with Professor Hoskin from JCU about new species of frogs and lizards he discovered on Dauan island in the Torres Strait. The Hotel Tully is this week's featured Cassowary Coast Historic Hotel. We catch up with Phillip Island muso Mark Howard who has travelled north to do a few Cassowary Coast gigs and Cassowary Coast Regional Council Mayor Teresa Millwood. Also this week, Bretto finds out about the danger to the Great Barrier Reef from tree clearing, when he chats to Dr Lissa Schlindler from the Australian Marine Conservation Society. We're in Mission Beach with a new Cassowary Coast Library minute and Bretto meets some traders from The Hub Mission Beach to learn about the long running drainage and roadworks project that is finally coming to an end. We find out that the scariest thing about Halloween may just be how much Australians spend on it when we speak to marketing guru Mel Strut. Plus rock historian Calvin Hegvold brings his daily chat with Bretto about Daily Rock History. https://hoteltully.com.au/ https://www.markhowardmusic.com/ https://www.marineconservation.org.au/ https://www.facebook.com/missionhub.mb/ https://www.facebook.com/p/Daily-Rock-History-100065285328213/
