The next episode..... "Where's the time going?"

Yes, as you may have guessed I am old enough to remember "Blue Hills" on the wireless. I grew up on a dairy farm near Warragul and listening to "Blue Hills" was serious business not to be missed or interupted.... and I heard the last episode in 1976 (in New Zealand!), but more of that later. You may like to visit the Landline Archive for journalist Pip Courtney's coverage of radio announcer Ingrid Just's enthusiasm for the social implications of radio serials then and now. I think it is exciting that she is doing what she can do to bring back such programs.

This is a very short week for me and I may not be able to do this week's homework till next week, so no Flickr pictures to accompany this post I'm afraid.

  1. Hi there Granny! I remember "Blue Hills" but not sure if I actually listened to it, if that makes any sense. Sometimes things back in your childhood are sort of fuzzy.
