Each musician brings a passionate dedication to faithfully replicating the sounds and sights of Pink Floyd, creating a performance that has been hailed by critics as “the next best thing to a genuine Floyd experience.”
Since 2014, Echoes of Pink Floyd has drawn audiences across the nation with its immersive shows, described as “spine-tingling” and “masterful.” Now, they invite Burdekin locals to witness the closest experience to a live Pink Floyd concert—a show not to be missed.

For nearly as long as Australia’s iconic duo Roy and HG have been on air, Cyclops and JG have been broadcasting their own blend of humour and music. With almost 60 years in Australia, Cyclops has made a lasting impact on Sweet FM, where he co-hosts alongside JG, drawing inspiration from classic Australian radio personalities.

Cyclops’ passion for radio was sparked years ago when he hosted a jazz program, Jazz Journey with the Guv, running live on Thursday evenings for Sweet FM. He’s a lifelong jazz aficionado, with favourites like Jelly Roll Morton, Ken Colyer, and even the Traveling Wilburys shaping his musical taste. Cyclops recalls a visit to New Orleans, describing the city’s vibrant music scene as unforgettable.

"Watching bands on every corner – I’d love to spend months there,” he said.

When asked about his most memorable moments on air, Cyclops highlights The Quirkies, a segment of “Cyclops and JG Take over the Asylum” showcasing bizarre news from around the globe.

“We occasionally get a complaint, which means people are listening,” he laughs.

Preparing for each show involves creating a detailed running sheet, often with contributions from his long-time co-host, John Gooding.

Cyclops’ advice to aspiring radio hosts? Practice.

“Come down to Sweet FM and start practising.

“It’s like public speaking – it gets easier the more you do it,” he advises.

For him, the art of radio lies in cultivating a presence that engages listeners, even during long segments.

“The fact that they don’t know who we are helps,” he chuckles.

Despite improvements in radio technology over the years, Cyclops remains adaptable, relishing new tools but has yet to embrace outside broadcasts. Reflecting on dream guests he’d love to interview; he names figures like Donald Trump and Barack Obama.

With a career full of memorable interviews, jazz journeys, and quirky moments, Cyclops embodies the joy and resilience needed to make radio a captivating medium, generation after generation.

The Burdekin Machinery Preservationists are celebrating four decades of dedication to preserving the region’s rich heritage in vintage machinery on Sunday 10th November. With approximately 65 members, the club spans from Chillagoe to Chinchilla, showcasing a commitment to historical preservation across Queensland. The club opens its doors every Monday from April to November, inviting tourists to explore a unique collection, including tractors from the late 1800s, the Burdekin’s first trains, and even a homemade helicopter.
Their annual open day is a special occasion, drawing visitors eager to see these machines in action. Vice President John shared that the club tries to get as many machines running as possible for the public, highlighting the meticulous restoration work that brings these historical pieces back to life. Founding members, still active in the club, are celebrated for their enduring involvement, and this year, they’ll be honoured with a cake-cutting ceremony at 11.30am and a sausage sizzle.
The collection is housed at the historic Renown Picture Theatre, built in 1927, a landmark that itself speaks to the region's past. Alongside machinery, visitors can find memorabilia from local high schools and a comprehensive photographic history of Brandon. The Burdekin Machinery Preservationists stand as the last historical group in the region, committed to preserving the legacy of Burdekin’s vintage machinery and culture for future generations.
New members, especially younger ones and tradespeople are encouraged to join this not-for-profit group and support their efforts to keep Burdekin’s history alive.

Since 1999, John Gooding has been a staple on Sweet FM, hosting a unique show that blends humour, oddities, and local flavour. Originally joining with a friend to cover night soccer, John’s show quickly evolved into something special, sharing mad and strange stories from around the world every week.
Unlike typical radio shows, John's program doesn’t feature music. Instead, he and his co-host focus on strange news stories. One of the most memorable tales he recalls involved an unfortunate incident during surgery when a patient broke wind, igniting a flame and causing a small fire—a story John still listens to when he needs a laugh.
Preparing for the show is a team effort. "We’re not live; we record on Thursdays, I edit it, and it airs on Saturdays and Mondays," John explains. He and his co-host steer clear of local stories, choosing instead to cover global oddities. John fondly remembers working with Dave Giffard, Sweet FM's long-time sound engineer who managed technical aspects for nearly 20 years. “Dave was invaluable, especially in the early days when we recorded on basic equipment at the council chambers. He had the technical experience that allowed us to focus on content.”
Starting with no experience, John encourages aspiring radio hosts to dive in, even if they’re new. He emphasises the importance of technical expertise, recalling how Dave's guidance helped him and his co-host build confidence. Today, John and his team enjoy the comfort of a studio, though they still face challenges—like a recent power surge that damaged their equipment. "When that happened, we knew it was beyond us!" he laughs.
John believes the key to a good show is adaptability. Years of acting experience taught him to improvise if something goes wrong, and having a co-host to play off makes it easier to keep things flowing.
For his dream guest, John would love to interview Donald Trump, purely for the unpredictability and absurdity he could bring to the show. John encourages anyone interested to volunteer, as Sweet FM is always looking for fresh voices to keep the laughs going.
