Commonwealth Games shafted 4YOU 98.5FM Capricorn Community Radio
After 15 months of hype, projected glory and excitement for athletes around the world, Premier Andrews flanked by Deputy Jacinta Allan and the Minister for Regional Development Harriet Shing announced that due to cost blow outs Victoria was pulling the plug on the Commonwealth Games.
They had got the sums wrong by over 300% and Andrews said that Victoria could no longer see any benefit in going on with it. Many sought to sheet the blame home to the Monarchy, somehow equating the death of Queen Elizabeth with a loss of any need for athletic endeavour in the anglophone world.
Country centres throughout Victoria were in shock as the first regional Games would have benefitted many regional cities like Ballarat, Shepparton and Geelong. Although a lot of infrastructure was still going ahead according to Ballarat Mayor Des Hudson OAM

Black Sea Ports Closed 4YOU 98.5FM Capricorn Community Radio
Since the beginning of the War, Ukraine and Russia have agreed to let grain shipments travel through their shared body of water, The Back Sea. Yesterday President Putin failed to renew the deal, immediately halting all grain trade from Ukraine.
This aggressive political move will hurt the rest of the world. Still, most importantly, Ukrainian grain is sent to some of the most food-insecure countries, including Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya and Djibouti.
It is a cruel move from the Russians that may turn neutral parties into Ukrainian allies.

Cairns airport international to domestic transfer question "IndyWatch Feed Seq"
Hello, I am flying to cairns from Tokyo with a Jetstar flight but I buy a flight to Brisbane with the qantas leaving 80 min after I land. Does anyone know how I am to get the new boarding pass? Do I have to leave the airport get the pass and re enter or something. Sorry if this is beginner question but this is my first year using airplane.
US citizen (& family) visiting for 2 weeks in August. I've read numerous places, including Reddit posts, that Australian tipping culture is very different than that in the USA. Does this also extend to tiiping tour companies for great barrier reef trips? Or should we plan on tipping the crew on the boats? If so, what %? Thanks.
UPDATE: thanks, all. We knew about not tipping at restaurants and we now know that also extends to tours. Thanks!

Dolphins teaching each other to beg a concern 4YOU 98.5FM Capricorn Community Radio
University of Queensland researchers have
discovered dolphins in the Moreton Bay Area, teaching fellow
dolphins to beg for food from recreational fishers.
This sophisticated behaviour was first noticed in
a study into the social structures of Indo-Pacific bottlenose
dolphins.
Since fishing is popular in the region, dolphins have now begun to take advantage of the feeds. But researchers warn this adaptive strategy may pose long term risks, and spread throughout wider dolphin populations.
Researchers also state better policing and awareness of illegal dolphin feeding is essential in avoiding harmful effects on these marine mammals.

Hostels that allow van parking Cairns
Hi all,
My partner and I have been travelling in a camper van up the coast. We are arriving in Cairns tomorrow and are looking for some hostels that allow van camping (to reduce cost) as it seems all of the camper parks here are unreasonably expensive. If anyone has any recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance :)
