Hello, Loretta Ryan here,

We’re making the SWITCH!  
 
ABC Radio Brisbane is packing up the studio and taking the show on the road and saying Hello Ipswich! this Thursday 6th February.
 
It’s the ultimate road trip and just one of many we’re planning to do in 2020, to meet as many of you as possible and hopefully make some new friends.
 
Craig Zonca and I will kick it off bright and early from 5am with the Breakfast show broadcasting from Fire Station 101 on Limestone Street, and then at 9:30am I’m hoping you’ll come and play tourist with me as we hop on a bus for a historical tour of Ipswich – I’ve always wanted to be a tour guide! 
 
See you Thursday.
