Robbie starts in January 2010 and brings with him over 20 years of experience in the radio industry, a love for Australian music, plus natural skills as an entertainer. “As the Evening Show is heard throughout NSW and the ACT, I'm especially excited that Robbie has a very strong connection to regional NSW, having spent much of his early life in Lismore, and appeared on radio there from a very young age. ” said James O’Brien ABC Local Radio Manager NSW. “In common with Adam Spencer, Simon Marnie, Angela Catterns and many others who have made the transition from triple j to 'grown up radio' I think the appointment demonstrates the significant role the ABC plays in developing both on-air and off-air talent.” Robbie is a highly valued team member of triple j, hosting the popular Breakfast program with The Doctor and Marieke since early 2008. He has hosted Lunch, Drive and Weekend shifts while working with the national youth network for the last 11 years. Robbie was central to the launch and growth of Home and Hosed – an Australian music program including national tours and album compilations giving new Australian performers an industry break and exposure. Robbie also has the unique distinction of having hosted the Hottest 100 of All Time in 1998 and 2009. -

Business Paper 2 April 2002
Page 1 MINUTE BY MAYOR Ordinary Meeting, 2/4/02 ITEM NO: 1 SUBJECT: KIDS GO FREE WEEKEND – INITIATIVE AND OUTCOME FILE NO: C05665 Recommendation: That the Minute by Mayor be received. Minute by Mayor: Following the Christmas Bushfires local representations were made to the Hon Bob Debus MP seeking a “recovery” plan as a result of the damage to the tourism industry, and the whole of the local economy. This was in addition to the $1million awarded to bushfire affected areas by the state and federal governments for tourism recovery as result of the lobbying efforts of the Blue Mountains Tourism Manager, Kerry Fryer and an industry taskforce. Following consultation between Mr Debus, the Minister for Transport, Hon Carl Scully MP, State/CityRail and Tourism NSW, the parties offered 250 free Family Passes to the Blue Mountains, to be used on Sunday, 10 March in conjunction with free entry to Scenic World, The Edge Cinema and Everglades Gardens as a value-added package (arranged through BMCC/BMTL). Tourism NSW provided entertainment on trains hauling additional carriages, departing Central at 8am, 9am and 10am. Council co-ordinated the event and in order to optimise the benefits of the offer, got together with a small group of operators, and tourism members to develop a strategy for recovery of the overall visitation to the area. The idea of a “Kids Go Free Weekend” to be held on 9 & 10 March 2002 was born. This meant that as long as an adult paid for food/ accommodation/attractions, etc – up to 2 children would ‘go free’.
