People are being encouraged to bring their own waste bags when climbing Mount Everest to combat the increasing amount of human waste on the landmark. Climbers will be given two odorless sealed bags or face fines. The bags contain a chemical to make the waste fragrance-free. In 2022, climbers generated 35,000 kilograms of human waste on Mount Everest. The directive is coming from the Nepalese army. In other news, GPS jamming in the Middle East is causing dating apps like Tinder and Bumble to match people from different countries. Israeli and Lebanese young people are now matching with each other, even though their countries are technically at war. This may lead to legal issues as interacting with citizens from the neighboring country is illegal. North Korea has also done something unusual by censoring a gardening show. And later in the show, there will be a segment about the Great Dunny Hunt of 2024, where people can search for toilets and win money. It's breakfast on Zoom. Oh, good morning. I hope you had a nice Easter long weekend. Maybe you spent it sleeping. Maybe you caught up with the family. Maybe you got sick of their company after two days. I don't know how people go with the family situations. I had the family up for the four days, so I ended up going and seeing the Toyota Nationals. That was very loud, full of a lot of smoke on the Sunday, and just an incredible viewing experience. I thought it was only Toyotas. There was a few absolutely modified Fords there from various years, and I've got to say, as bad as it is to admit, they were some of the nicest to listen to. Even though it was a Toyota event coming up in just a few minutes' time, Mount Everest, people climbing it are expected to take home with them a certain item that isn't something you'd want to put in your handbag, as well as catching up on the history behind the Toyota National event, how long it's been going for in Dubbo, how long it's started, who started it. You'll hear it in just a couple of minutes' time. Vance Joy is starting us off here Tuesday morning, here on ZOOFM, your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. It is Keegan with you. Cheers for your company this morning. $25, $6.50 in the club. What a way to start the week. ZOOFM Breakfast. Keegan with you. It's over 26 in Wellington today, currently 21 degrees. A little bit of rain around this morning, going to continue throughout the day. Thunderstorms also possible. Always give us a ring at 688-484-9999. That's 688-484-9999. The phone's there. The phone can be picked up. I'm pretty sure we can talk through it as well. There's an old saying, in other news, that if you can't find a bin, take your rubbish with you. Apparently, that now applies to the daredevils who actually dare to climb Mount Everest. It's a completely different way, however. Climbers will now be given two odourless sealed bags before climbing the mega mountain to combat the ever-increasing piles of poo on the landmark. In 2022 alone, climbers generated 35,000 kilograms of human waste on Mount Everest. That's human waste. That's not rubbish. That is waste of a kind that you don't exactly want in large quantities, especially 35,000 kilograms of human poo. The directive is actually coming from the Nepalese army who suggest climbers use the two odourless bags or face fines. So, apparently, people are now going to be carting around their own waste. Waste is the word to use, especially at this time of the morning. Nobody wants to hear about the other word at this time. They're going to be carting around their own waste in their own bag. Put it next to, you know, like, the toothbrush and your hairbrush and your toothpaste and a bag of waste. That's the kind of kit you want to take on to Mount Everest. The biodegradable bags contain a chemical, supposedly, made to make human waste fragrance-free. It really sounds like I need to get some myself when I have certain guests over. Jessica Mulby, Jason Derulo, give your love. Zoo FM, your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. It's Giggum with you. Good morning. It's breakfast on Better Music 927 Zoo. Coming up in about 15 minutes' time, what happens when you mix GPS jamming in the Middle East with dating apps like Tinder and Bumble and the other various ones that are all just asking for money? I'll tell you about that in 15 minutes' time. It's very interesting what happens when they can't actually function and it starts matching you with people on the other side of the planet. Apparently, over the long weekend as well, a couple of bricks of narcotics kept washing up on the beaches of the East Coast of the country. Up to $1 million worth of narcotics, bricks of them, just floated onto a beach and were found on... I think it was yesterday, on Easter Monday. And it's safe to say that's not entirely the Easter egg hunt you're looking for when you take the kids out to the beach, is it? Brianna, we found love. Zoo FM Breakfast, Tuesday morning. Giggum with you. Cheers for your company. 27 Zoo FM Breakfast. Kenny Grace there. Top of 26 degrees today in Narrowmine, currently 22.5. Showers expected to continue throughout the morning and afternoon. Possible thunderstorms as well throughout the day. The weather should clear up for tomorrow, however. Sport. The Tigers are back. Maybe. Interesting game yesterday, Eels and the Tigers. Tigers won by one point. Single point, 17 to 16. And I think out of the entire game, the most pleasurable part was watching Clint Gutherson miss the kick and the entire coach's box for the Eels were all celebrating. Because apparently you shouldn't watch to see if the ball actually follows through to the goal. However, in their defence, in their defence, it is very difficult from certain vantage points in any stadium to tell if a kick has actually gone through or missed it ever so slightly off to the side. So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and just presume that it looked like it had gone through, but it hadn't. However, the Fox camera pointing straight at them was not pretty pictures at all. The Sharks came in against the Raiders. Sharks looked like they hadn't even stepped off the bus again, very similar to when they played against the Tigers. However, it turns out they did and they turned it on. They absolutely turned it on and completely smashed the Raiders, 36 to 22. Rest of the weekend, pretty predictable. Dolphins and Titans, that was about a 50-50 coins flip and it turns out the Dolphins are actually playing football. The strangest thing, I think, for sport out of the entire long weekend was the story from the AFL of the bloke that was seen using his phone during a lightning break in one of the, I think it's the locker rooms, the change rooms, in one of the sheds is probably the masculine height. He was doing a lightning break, he was seen on his phone and he's claimed after the AFL's opened an investigation, it wasn't my phone, mate, no, it wasn't my phone. Just looking at the weather radar, love checking out the bomb. But I don't see what's wrong with them having a phone during halftime anyway. They're not going to be able to accomplish much. The whole team would have to be into it. You can't just have a bloke ring you up halfway through the game and go, all right, mate, I need you to get four goals. Do they get goals in AFL? I presume so. I need you to get four goals and I need you to trip over it and break your ankle. You need someone to do that for you, you can't exactly do it yourself. You're on Zoom breakfast. Kid Leroy. Kid Leroy's very loud there, wow. Five minutes to seven, Zoom breakfast. Keegan with you. It's over 26 degrees today in Geary, currently 22 degrees. Going to continue with showers this morning, possible thunderstorms as well throughout this morning and this afternoon. Should clear up tomorrow but then there's going to be a lot of rain as we head later into the week. Now, one of the strange developments out of the ongoing sort of conflict in the Middle East is Tinder, Bumble and, you know, various other dating platforms were allowing your phone's GPS to operate. And young people in the Middle East started at all unfamiliar with using these platforms. However, Israel has been implementing GPS jamming in recent weeks as a new tactic, which is sending the phone dating platforms into an absolute free-for-all. Supposedly, Israeli young people are now only able to match with Lebanese young people and vice versa, as their phone's GPS thinks they're in the other country due to the jamming. It thinks they're in all different places across the entire region. This may seem entirely harmless but the kicker is, however, Lebanon and Israel are technically at war, technically through some historical thing hundreds of years old, and it is 380% illegal in either country to interact with a citizen of the neighbouring country. So you never know, maybe these sort of shonky dating apps are the true golden path to peace by complete accident with GPS jamming because it thinks you're 300 kilometres west when you're actually in your own home. 300 arrests of dating app users may happen otherwise. Ed Sheeran now, DoFM. It's breakfast. I do. Going up in just a sec, you've heard a lot of strange stories come out of North Korea of them censoring certain things, the way they run the internet, how they end up, you know, the food that they have, the many... The list goes on, the list does go on, it's a very long list. But North Korea has done something a little bit out of place when it comes to a gardening show. Yes, a gardening show. I don't know why North Korea is concerned with a gardening show, but I'll tell you about that in about 15 minutes' time. What's happening with the gardening show? The news you want to hear this morning. Lady, hear me tonight. Stunning yourself, 10 past 7, DoFM breakfast. Coming up later this hour as well, just before 8 o'clock, the Great Dunny Hunt of 2024. What in the world is going on there? I've got someone on to have a chat with us about how you can go and do a sleuth for toilets and also win money at the same time. It's Keegan with you. Cheers for your company for your Tuesday morning. Quarter past 7, DoFM breakfast. It's Dubbo's best music from the 80s. It's Keegan with you for your Tuesday morning. Top of 26 degrees today in Wellington, currently 22 and a half. The Dubbo Guide Dog support group invites you to Twilight Drinks and Canapes. This Saturday the 6th of April from 6pm. It sounds very fancy. I don't even know what canapes are, but they sound like something I want to partake in. This fundraiser event will be held in the Regent Park Homestead Garden at 6 Avalon Place in Dubbo. The Dubbo Guide Dog support group committee has been raising funds to help train guide dogs for over 40 years. That is a considerable history and a great effort as well. Tickets are available from 1, 2, 3 ticks until tonight. I'm pretty sure you can still get them today. However, otherwise, there'd be no point in me saying this. I'm pretty sure you can still get them today, but today is the very last day. Twilight Drinks and Canapes this Saturday. If you don't know what you're going to do this weekend, considering we've just finished the long weekend, I don't even know why you would have thought about it yet. If you want someone to do this, that is what you need to do. Coming up in just a second, I'll tell you why North Korea is concerned about a gardening show. Why are they looking to be involved in planting strawberries? You'll hear it next. Zoo Brekkie. MIA, 25 past 7. Zoo FM Breakfast. I can understand why they removed the gunshot sounds from that song. Imagine it's 5.30, 7, you're about to eat your breakfast. Sounds like someone's doing a drive-by. Not exactly the way you want to wake up. Top of 26 with narrow mind today, currently 22.5 degrees. Showers expected throughout the day, possible thunderstorms as well. You're probably well aware of how shady the media situation is over in North Korea and how it's always been that way, but a new development has occurred over the weekend and it's nothing short of bizarre. It's something else. North Korean Central TV aired a 2010 episode of BBC's Garden Secrets. Garden Secrets, North Korea taking a fascination towards gardening where a bloke, he essentially sits in his garden and explains the mechanics of a strawberry bush. So it's not exactly thrilling viewing, but except it is, it's informative. So obviously that's why they want to air it in North Korea. It sounds pretty innocent and it really doesn't need any government censoring. Well, the North Korean government decided it was appropriate to censor the gardening show host's pants. Censor his pants, just completely blur them out. The whole episode, it's just this moving blur. It turns out, I looked a bit into it, jeans, jeans are what he was wearing, they're seen as a sign of imperialism in North Korea and they're explicitly banned. So they had to censor his pants. God forbid the people of North Korea see someone wearing jeans. The whole hierarchy would fall apart. So instead, now for the entire episode, it looks like a bloke was presenting a gardening show with his downstairs on display because it's been censored instead of just showing him wearing pants. Paul Russell, Lil Bruce Day, Tuesday morning, 2FM Breakfast, good morning to you. You're waking up with the Central West burst breaking on 92.7 Zoo. About 20 minutes away, got someone coming on the show to have a chat about the 2024 Great Dunny Hunt. They're encouraging people to go out there and take photographs of toilets and I need to know what is going on there. We'll have a chat with them 20 minutes away. Coming up next. When your dog goes in the backyard and starts digging up something, they like to bring presents in, you know, dead lizards, other various items, rocks, sometimes bits of plants that you didn't want them to destroy. A dog has brought in an object which could have ended very, very badly. Very badly is the words. I'll tell you what the object was and why you would never want your dog to bring it inside the house as a special gift. Shaken Ray, escapism first. Zoo.FM Breakfast for you Tuesday morning. Long weekend's over, hope you enjoyed it. Spent four days sleeping maybe. Keegan with you. Becky Hill, 20 minutes to 8. Zoo.FM Breakfast for you Tuesday morning. It's Keegan with you on your home at Davos. Best music from the 80s to now. It's over 26 degrees today in Narromine. Showers continuing throughout the day. Also possible storms, maybe severe, as we head into the afternoon. Look, it's not pleasant when your dog decides it wants to, it wants to venture out maybe into the centre of the yard and just start digging up the earth and removing half the topsoil and hopefully venturing towards the centre of the earth in the process. Not pleasant when your dog decides to do that all of a sudden. However, a couple have had an unexpected gift brought into a house by their man's best friend after an outside escapade that left them ringing triple zero. You know, it wasn't exactly the usual wander outside, grab, you know, a lizard, grab a bird, grab a rock, grab a bit of a plant that you didn't want destroyed and then bring it into the house. Wasn't that, the dog for some reason, the dog named Baby, I don't know why it's named Baby, but anyway, the dog named Baby had actually decided to bring into the house an eight kilogram unexploded World War II bomb that she found in the yard, just casually. As you do, as you go out to just have a little dig around, you just shove an eight kilogram bomb, normal business. It was about 60 centimetres long and had been underground but was live since the Second World War and the dog thought it would be a fantastic surprise for her owners, dragging it inside the house and presenting it on the floor. The neighbourhood had to be evacuated and the bomb squad called. No surprise there. Look, I've seen videos of dogs tipping candles over and sort of lighting a rug on fire, but I'd say to say I've never seen a dog almost blow up the entire living room. Check out Zoo FM on Facebook for more. Bruno Mars, 10 minutes to 8, Zoo FM breakfast, Tahoma Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now, top of 26 in Gillgandra today, currently 23, going to be showers and possible storms throughout the day. Niv Isarafa from the Australian Continence Foundation joins us this morning. Cheers for coming on the show. Thank you. Thank you for having me. The Great Dunny Hunt of 2024. What is this all about? Well, the Continence Foundation of Australia is calling on people to update the details of the public toilets for the national public toilet map over all holidays and you can do so on the website or app. It runs from the 29th of March to the 16th of June and while you're updating the details, people can do a quick survey to go in the running to win one or three $500 vouchers. Brilliant. How easy is it for people to take part? Oh, it's very easy. Basically, if you find a toilet that isn't on the map or you find that the details aren't correctly listed on the map, you can actually just go to the national public toilet map website or download the app and you can just basically fill out the details. I'm guessing when someone finds a toilet that may not be on the map, are you looking for them to take a photo of the toilet or just update the details? Either or both. Basically, photos are always wonderful but you don't necessarily need to have a photo. You can just basically update whether the opening times are 24 hours or not or if they have access for people with disabilities, change facilities, showers, incontinence, product disposal bins. All those sort of information is very helpful. So if people are submitting a photo, what sort of photos are you looking for? For photos of the actual facilities inside the toilet or just a general photo of the actual toilet block? It could be both. Did I hear that people have actually a chance to win prizes for taking part? They sure do. We have three $500 vouchers on offer. So if you fill out a quick survey, I think there's about four questions, you go in the running to win one of those vouchers. What's the uptake of the public restroom sort of floof been like in previous years? Oh, it's been really wonderful. People have been doing a fabulous job in finding toilets. I think we've updated about 4,000 toilets over the last few years. So it's been a really worthwhile campaign. How long exactly is the Great Dunny Hunt running this year? It's from the 29th of March to the 16th of June. So it's got time. Yes, that is a decent amount of time. Where can people head to find out more information? You can search online for the Great Dunny Hunt or you can go search for National Public Toilet Map or you can download the app from the National Public Toilet Map. I had a look at the actual National Public Toilet Map and I've got to say it is very detailed. There's a lot more in there than I thought of. I'm guessing that's all because of people going out of their way to go and find toilets practically. Yes, that's right. And it's wonderful. It's wonderful to have the information accessible, particularly if you are in dire need of a toilet and thinking, okay, we're going to have to find one. And that's why we really encourage people to actually participate because there's quite a number of people. We've done a recent survey not long ago which shows nearly 50% of people living within constance don't feel comfortable going out on long trips without knowing where the toilets are. So it's a really worthwhile campaign. 100%. Well, cheers for coming on for a chat this morning. It's a great cause and I also love the fact that it does take into account our Aussie humour at the same time. That's right. Thank you so much, Keegan. Thank you. Cheers. You're on Zoo's Breakfast. You're waking up with the Central West best breakfast. On 927 Zoo. Great. Later this morning, a lady has rescued what she thought was a baby hedgehog. However, what it actually turned out to be following her great act of kindness is just something else. I think it's a great reminder just to double-check everything you do, especially maybe you didn't actually have a proper look at it. I'll tell you about that in about 30 minutes' time. The Mayor coming on next. Destiny's Child first. Say my name. Zoo FM Breakfast. Destiny's Child. Ten minutes past eight. Zoo FM Breakfast. Your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. Top of 26 right across the region. About 23 degrees at the moment. Mayor Matt Dickerson joins us. Good morning, mate. Good morning. How are you going, Keegan? I'm all right. How's the Northern Hemisphere? Not too bad, actually. The cherry blossoms are just starting to pop out. We've been in South Korea for the last week, and they're a little bit late to come this year. In fact, they had a major festival planned in Chungju, which is the city we spend most of the time in, and they delayed that festival by a week because it was a cherry blossom festival, and they said a week earlier it would have been a pretty boring cherry blossom festival with no cherry blossoms. So I think that was a pretty big process to take this whole festival to a food stand, entertainment, dancing, a whole range of things, and they delayed that. I can just imagine the organisers pulling their hair out going, when are these cherry blossoms going to come out? But we got to see it then, so we wouldn't have seen it a week earlier. So it was good for us to see it, and the cherry blossoms were indeed coming out. Absolutely brilliant. I've seen you posting a lot of things on social media, and it seems like you're incredibly busy. I don't know how you have time to take it in. Well, it is part of the process. I've said to people before, when you do go across to delegations like this, then the people that are hosting you are very keen to show off what they've got. And so they'll start first thing in the morning, and they'll take you somewhere, and they'll show you that particular process or exhibit or whatever it might be, and then they'll take you to a lunch, and they'll take you somewhere in the afternoon, and somewhere else in the afternoon, and it's been a really good mixture. One of the things that I was fascinated by, but some people mightn't find that exciting, Keegan, is the water treatment plant. And I do like looking at water treatment plants and seeing what they've got and how they process the water. This particular one we looked at processes water for 880,000 people. Oh, right. You can imagine the scale is a bit bigger than Dubbo's, but the concept was quite similar in terms of the way they're doing it and the process they went through. It was just a larger volume as such. Even just where you get your water from, how you have a good water supply, what's the process there. So you've got things like that. But then museums, I learned something about the first book printed by movable metal print type. It was done in 1377 in Chungju, and they found evidence of that, and they went through the whole history of that particular book. They've created a whole museum around that one book they discovered in a temple there. So you learn a bit about culture, you learn a bit about treating water, and again, just learn about the similarities and the differences with local government. I know. It's probably worth a mention. It's all self-funded, your travel over there, isn't it? Exactly right. So we've got some residents of Dubbo here on the trip with us. We've got the councillors. I've got myself and Councillor Shibley Shattery. And then when we go to Japan, Councillor Matt Roy is joining us. But the policy of council is that council does not pay for international travel or international accommodation for councillors. So essentially, the councillors doing this are doing this. We're paying for our own way. It's at our own expense. But we're still representing Dubbo, so I think that's significant to note. But even the residents that have come along, we've got some people from our city committee, we've got some people who have been chaperones for us before, and again, they're all paying for that themselves. So I think that's a fairly significant contribution they're making to the betterment of Dubbo. Something I've seen coming up a lot recently, mentioned on social media and in person, is something to do with these sale yards being sold by council or something along those lines. What's going on there? Well, it's interesting. I've had a few phone calls, a few emails about exactly the same thing, Keegan, maybe from the same people you've been hearing from. Possibly. Essentially, no decision has been made yet, and I can't stress this enough. We, as a council, own a number of different facilities around the community. We own a caravan park, we own a childcare centre, we own a number of different businesses. One of those happens to be the Dubbo Regional Livestock Market, or as many people call it, the sale yards. We own that and we run that. The Dubbo Stock and Station agents basically control the sales on that. And we've had some advice from the Office of Local Government, and this is fairly recent advice, that some things that are being done there, they probably would like to see it done a little bit differently. So we've been exploring some different options, looking at the compliance issues there. There's a whole range of different things in terms of tracking animals from paddock to plate and making sure you've got this chain of command there, making sure everything's done safely there. So some different rules, I suppose, different interpretations of rules, and all of that is incredibly important in terms of what we do with the sale yards. So in exploring all of those options, we've also said, as a group of councillors, well, should we consider a long-term lease, like we do with the caravan park? Should we consider selling them off? All things should be on the table. If we're managing that facility in the best possible way, we should have everything on the table. And so we're doing that. We've got an expression of interest out right now. If someone wants to buy the sale yards or someone wants to lease the sale yards, then they can put in an expression of interest. This is non-binding. That's the great thing about an EOI. This is all non-binding. It would essentially be a process to say, here's what I would be happy to pay for a lease, and here's how I'd run it, or a sale, and here's the conditions around that. But again, we're still exploring how we would run it if we continue to run it ourselves. This is really good business practice in terms of the best outcome for the community. So no decision has been made to sell. A decision might be made in the future to sell, but only after we explore all the different options and communicate with the community about this. Chris, quickly before I let you go, I hear the pool was shut. What's happened there? Yeah, very disappointing. Just before Easter, Keegan, the New South Wales Health Environmental Health Officer advised Belgravia, who managed the contract for the pool, that there were two people who reported ill with cryptosporidium after using the water slide. Now, exactly as you said, crypto is a bad gastro-disease. You can get diarrhoea from it. If it's an extreme circumstance where someone might be elderly, for example, and you get a very bad case and you don't do anything about it, you can, in rare circumstances, die from crypto. So it's something that, obviously, we're very conscious of. The assess that basically happened, and this is an extremely rare in pool. There are pools in Australia that do have a cryptosporidium outbreak a hundred times because a big bunch of water and sharing water can get a crypto outbreak. Again, the response was, close it down. Now, the first thing that is the process is to close down exactly where it happened, which is the water slide. But our water treatment process is common between the water slide and the pool, so the necessity was to shut that down for 28 hours. Now, what you do in that time is you do a hypochlorination. Now, the normal level of chlorine in a pool is between 3 and 10 milligrams per litre. A hypochlorination is 20 milligrams per litre. So, essentially, Belgravia did that, shut it down for the time frame they needed to, and then opened it back up again. So everything's safe again now. Disappointment happened, but this is not something that's linked to Belgravia directly or anything that Belgravia did wrong. You can get a crypto outbreak from time to time in a public pool. Well, brilliant. Everything sounds like it's back open for business. Just quickly, what time is it over there at the moment? We're only two hours before you, so, at the moment, it's 6.18am. Oh, brilliant. I'll let you go and have your breakfast, Angie, for coming on for a chat this morning. Thanks, Keegan. My pleasure. Thanks, mate. You're waking up with the Central West best breaking... On 927 Zoo. About 10 minutes away, someone's gone and thought they rescued a wild animal off the side of the road, and what it turned out to be that they'd placed in a cardboard box is just absolutely hilarious. It is just... It could not even be considered alive. It's not a living thing, full stop. I don't even think, at any point in its life, the thing has had a single breath. It's not an animal, full stop. I'll tell you about it in just a couple of minutes. F&F's first My Immortal, here on Go Home With Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. It's Keegan with you. As we all come back from the long weekend, some of us well-rested, the others probably exhausted after a big holiday. It's here in 20 to 9, Zoo FM Breakfast, Go Home With Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. It's Keegan with you. Top of 26 in Wellington today, currently 21, going to be nice and wet all day, as well as later this week, especially on Friday, very wet on Friday. I don't know, maybe people like a wet Friday. It's always good also to be a nice human. What a good segue this is. And whenever you find, say, an injured animal on the side of the road or outside, take it to your local vet. I completely understand. That is just the right thing to do. But you should seriously double-check what you're rescuing first. Unlike a lady from England. She's gone and picked up what she believed to be an injured grey baby hedgehog off the side of the highway. Hedgehog being the sort of grey spiky thing, sort of just half-fluffy, half-spiky, sort of tear-your-hand-off animals, but it was a baby one, so not as dangerous. Or at least she thought it was a baby one. She stopped the car, she blocked traffic, she gently placed it into a cardboard box. Well, people probably made it late to appointments. They didn't get to work on time. They probably were racing to the hospital. Someone was in labour, they were delayed. I have no idea if this is true. She gently placed it into a cardboard box. I know this is true for a fact. With a cup of water, and she raced it to the nearest vet hospital, probably, possibly breaking the speed limit. I don't know if that part's true either. On arrival, veterinarians, they have the incredibly difficult and emotional task of informing her what she'd actually rescued off the side of the road was the pom-pom from a grey beanie. She'd picked it up, blocked miles of traffic, placed it in the cardboard box. It had fallen off someone's beanie. She'd given it water, just in case it was thirsty. I don't think it has a need to drink. Veterinarians told her it was in no need of medical assistance, presumably, yes. I think I'm pretty sure, I can presume that, but I'm sure that's almost true. I think later this afternoon, I might actually go take a battered scallop from the local shop to the nearby vet and inform them that I've just saved an endangered Murray Cod that they need to end up tending to immediately. You're on Zoo's Brekkie. Five to nine, Selena Gomez, Zoo FM, breakfast at your home at Dubbo's. Best music from the 80s to now. It's Keegan with you. Top of 26 degrees today in Gilgandra. Probably doesn't feel like it. Currently 21. Going to be raining and possible severe thunderstorms all morning and afternoon.

Today and tomorrow are particular days of concern. If you'd like to make a booking to donate blood, you can call 13 14 95. That's 13 14 95. Or visit lifeblood.com.au. In general, Dubbo needs 650 donations a month just to meet the patient demand. One in three people, in general, will need blood in their lifetime. Yet only one in 30 Australians donate each year. The Dubbo Blood Donor Center is located at 1 150 Darling Street. It's closed on Mondays to open every other day of the week.
