Early speculation about who might run for council in 2028, the people you run into at an industry lunch for retired media folk, a call for local governments to be abolished, what’s the future for Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery, a councillor briefing report that says absolutely nothing, rumours about the Australian Electoral Commission closing its Ipswich office, and Ipswich Musical Theatre Company to present Grease in September. All that and more when Ashleigh Mac and Walter Williams join the show for another yarn over the back fence.

We’re officially into winter with rain and cooler maximums this week and no immediate sign of frosty mornings. Drier than average conditions are also forecast for southeast Australia and southwest Western Australia, while increasing signs in the Pacific Ocean suggest an El Niño pattern could develop later this year. UniSQ climate scientist Andrew Marshall joins the show to talk about temperature and rainfall forecasts, the possible impact of El Niño, and how conditions compare to recent winters.

Daniel Thomas is behind this family enterprise as founder and content director. He reveals how and why he decided to launch a new online audio streaming business in a crowded marketplace.

The Ipswich property market remains stronger than ever in 2026 and those sub $100,000 property prices are now a distant memory. Local agent Jarad Foyle joins the show with his take on residential property prices, the hot-spot Ipswich suburbs and a bold prediction for the rest of the year. Also in this episode, council finally says farewell to flood-prone Mi-Hi Grove, Ipswich increases its appeal as a major centre for manufacturing, distribution and company headquarters, and the new Ripley Police Station officially open.
