Happy Anniversary to me xx
Is it just me or has everyone been in their job 10 years?
Today is the 10th anniversary of my first morning on air at Mix Fm on the Sunshine Coast…
Back in 1998 I had a six year old and three year old and a one year old.
I was on air with Peter Lang and Justin Vievers – and the coast was a slightly slower place.
It’s a bit hard to remember exactly what was different, but these are a few of my memories – I’d love to know yours…
The radio station was in the Curry Street Nambour, Moreton Sugar Mill was alive and well.
The Sunshine Coast University was brand spanking new – the Sunshine Plaza was a lot smaller – there were significantly less coffee shops.
Chancellor Park wasn’t really there I don’t think, and Mooloolaba was still pretty sleepy…the Mooloolaba Pub was still party central, but plans were on the table for the Outrigger and Landmark buildings.
Surf Life Savers were really famous ten years ago – Kerri Thomas and Steve Pullen were the biggest news in town.
Chris Vermuelen was a kid at Yandina …
The thing I remember about it most though – it looked exactly like it does today. The sun was shining absolutely everyday – the water was blue and warm and I knew that my family and I had just got really lucky…
Thanks for having me.

I found your blog a couple of years ago - it brought back memories!
