A radio host discusses bizarre stories of crime and arrests. One story involves a man stealing a leg from a train accident scene, while another involves a woman being arrested for arson at a church. The host also mentions news about a social media ban for children under 14 and Instagram limiting political content. Other topics include NRL controversies, a leaked text message from Russell Crowe, and a school criticized for turning its toilets into "reverse prisons." It's breakfast on Better Music 92.7 Zoo. Coming up in about 10 minutes, I'm going to tell you about this absolutely bizarre story of a man stealing a certain thing from a crime scene, but it's just absolutely unheard of. I don't even understand the thought process behind what he's done. Also, another lady's been arrested for committing a certain act while nude over in the United States. You'll hear that in about half an hour. It's going to be a whole hour of people being arrested, and it's just absolutely bizarre. I don't know whether it's a Monday. It was a Monday, so people just thought that's the day to commit crimes, but it's just fascinating. Juleep is starting us off for your Tuesday morning here on Zoo FM. As I said, up next, man stole something from a crime scene. It's just absolutely fascinating. It's going to be a lovely week heading up to the long weekend. How are you spending it? Four days. Four days off work unless you're working it. Don't you? Twenty minutes past six. Zoo FM breakfast. Top of 30 degrees today in Gilgamesh. We're currently 12 degrees. It's going to be sunny right through the week to your long weekend. There is the most absolutely fascinating story that sort of popped up on my news feed. I don't think you ever would have heard of this before. It's just bizarre. A Californian man has been arrested after allegedly taking a leg from the scene of a train collision. A leg. What in the world is that sentence? Officials reported that 27-year-old Resendo Tellez removed evidence from the site of a train accident where a victim unfortunately had their leg severed. Disturbing video has been circulating on social media showing a man who can't be confirmed as Resendo appearing to pick up what looks to be a leg off the floor before hastily fleeing the scene with the leg in tow. Taking a leg from a crime scene. A leg. An actual human leg. Wandering off with it. The human race is doomed, aren't we? Not as long as we have the Grand Bridge. Dreams. What a terrible link into the song. The most bizarre story I've ever heard in my life. Hands down. Zoo FM breakfast. It's Keegan with you. Cheers for your company this morning. The Cranberries. It's technically your hump day of your week. Technically. Because there's only four days in it. Top of 30 degrees in Dubbo today. 29 in Cobar. Your full weather a couple of minutes away after the national news. Telling you in about 10 minutes time that a woman who was arrested while nude for committing a very strange and interesting crime as well. We've had a lot of crimes this morning. Apparently Monday is the day for people to commit them. How's this? I've just read that Florida is going to ban anyone under the age of 14 from owning a social media account from January of next year. Deleting any accounts they already owned. So it's not like you can grandfather in a social media account into it that you already had. They'll all be erased. Under 14, not allowed anything that involves communicating online with other people. Not allowed to have it. Maybe it's a good idea. However, I think the minimum age for Facebook may have already been 14. No, we're not going to go into the ads? Okay, computer print. Good start to the morning. Anyway, national news is next. ZSM Dubbo on Facebook. It's breakfast on 9272. I've just seen another bit of news here that's saying that Instagram is proactively limiting the amount of political content recommended to you. And all I can say is thank God for that. Probably saves us about 10 minutes of headache per day. And that's a lot of headache if you add it up to a week. People are saying it may be a threat to democracy, but I'm saying that it's actually quite a relaxing event for my mind. Coming up in just a sec. A lady's been arrested for committing a very curious and questionable crime while in the nude. You'll hear about it in just a couple of minutes. Rehab and Amy Shark first. Sway my way for you. Tuesday morning here in the home of Dubbo's best music from the age to now. It's ZooFM Breakfast. Pink and Marshmallow. Dreaming. 20 minutes to 7. ZooFM Breakfast on your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. 30 degrees at the tops today in Wellington. Currently 11. Gonna be a nice sunny week right up until the weekend. We're brought to you by Macca's in McDonald's. Macca's in McDonald's? Yes, there'll be Macca's inside McDonald's. Macca's in Dubbo in Wellington. Anyway, the new McCrispy from Macca's is set to be their next big thing. A juicy crispy 100% Aussie chicken. A soft glazed bun. Crunchy lettuce. And a brand new signature sauce. You can try it today at Macca's. But available only after 10.30am. A woman in the US. It's apparently the first hour of the show. It's all about arrests for some reason. We're doing an episode of Cops this morning. A woman in the US. She's been arrested on charges of arson. After she was discovered entirely naked and running around a church that was on fire. But because she wasn't actually seen lighting the church on fire, they couldn't exactly charge her there and then. So the lady was detained. Pending investigation was the term used. However, she was then spotted starting a small fire in the door panel of the police vehicle that she'd been placed in. Not too sure how you'd think she was handcuffed. But she then decided she started a very small fire. That is actually the description used by one of the reporting officers. Small fire in the door panel of the police vehicle. Police believe she may have hidden the lighter somewhere that officers would not find it. And considering she was naked and she'd hidden the lighter somewhere that they couldn't find it. Let's not start drawing conclusions. You're on Zoo Breakfast. Taylor Swift. 10 minutes to 7. Zoo FM Breakfast. You're having Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. Top of 30 degrees today in Trangie. Currently 13 degrees. A lovely week ahead. Not a cloud in the sky. Actually, there may be one, but you can't blame me. The NRL has come out and conceded that they were wrong not to charge panther Talon May with dangerous contact after colliding with Reese Walsh's head the other night. Bit late to end up coming out and saying this, I think. Rather than just having done it at the time. And as they've also conceded, now because they should have done it and it's too late to do it, they can't do anything. So there was really no point in ever announcing that they should have charged him for dangerous contact for colliding his head into Reese Walsh's face. From the perspectives of all the angles, it does look like an accident. However, people have been charged for less. So you never know. Whenever I make a mistake in future, I might just end up saying, well, I should have done that and I didn't. And I don't think I'm going to fix it now either. Because it's a bit too late and I can't be bothered. In other news, a text message has been leaked between Russell Crowe, the big boss, who's the major owner of South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Bunnies' official leadership team. It's not at all good news. Russell Crowe's not happy. Following the Bunnies' 48-6 loss to the Roosters on Friday last week, Russell Crowe has delivered a subliminal serve to coach Jason Demetrio, saying in one of the latest text messages to officials that things in rugby league can change very quickly. How ominous. It's like Liam Neeson saying, I will find you. Except it's not at all in that context whatsoever. Outlets such as the Daily Telegraph are suggesting that Demetrio has only three games to turn the club around or he's gone. Full stop. Goodbye. I mean, they've had an absolutely disastrous start to the year. Embroiled in controversy, especially with certain people speaking to the media on certain radio stations, and just genuinely the team's efforts so far, not at all impressive, I must say. However, I am a Shark supporter, and the way they played against the Tigers, I shouldn't be saying anything. But if the Bunnies get the spoon this year, that would be absolutely hilarious and I'm all for it. Bruno Mars, count on me. It's Tuesday morning. 2FM Breakfast, gigging with you. Good morning. If you have a... It's breakfast. On Zoom. One of the local fire stations has taken part in the regional firefighting championships recently. I know it already sounds complicated and it is quite impressive. The amount of time they have to do such a complicated task that involves a fire truck is just incredible. Speaking to one of the senior firefighters in just over half an hour. About ten minutes away, however, a mum has put something in a child's lunchbox that is deserving of a prison sentence. It is just fascinating that she even considered this. I'll tell you about that just a couple of minutes away. Can you graze strangers? The home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. It's gigging with you for your Tuesday morning four-day work week. Thankfully, a short one. We're almost halfway through it. At quarter past seven, it's 2FM Breakfast. Top of 30 degrees today in Narrowmine. Currently 11 degrees. It's going to be a sunny, lovely week ahead. A lovely short week, thankfully. That story about the mum being arrested for what she put in her child's lunchbox just a couple of minutes away. But first, a school's been blasted overseas for essentially turning toilet blocks into reverse prisons. Not a phrase I thought would ever apply to lavatories, but reverse prisons is what's actually been done here. And it's only during class times. They've installed metal bar doors reminiscent of a US prison. On all entries and exits of the lavatory buildings, it literally looks like a sort of a clandestine prison. Ian Ward, who's a parent of an attending child of this school, said the children had been left upset over the change and described the move as totally wrong. It's been alleged the students are only permitted to use the restrooms while under supervision during lessons. However, the doors and the prison doors are unlocked any other time that's not during class time. I did think this was actually quite common practice, that they'd lock the toilets and only allow people special permission to go to the bathroom during class time. But Ian Ward, the parent of an attending child, argued that the school was meant to be a safe place and a relaxed environment for students, but the new barriers and supervision made it seem like they were locked up. I mean, unless they were inside the toilet block with the door locked, I don't think they are actually locked up. And personally, with all the people I saw smoking around the corner of buildings and in the car park while I was in high school, it was indeed quite relaxed. Zoo Brekkie Ghetto Superstar, 20 minutes past 7, Zoo FM Breakfast, Joan Madabo. Best music from the 80s to now. Top of 30 degrees in Gildandra today, currently 11 degrees. Crisp morning, it's safe to say. But however, it's going to be sunny, warm today and warm for the rest of the week, right until your long weekend. If you've ever considered that some of the things you put in your kids' lunchbox may be frowned upon, is the term to use, this is probably on an entirely other level, just something else. If there were levels, this would be in the atmosphere, is the level of it. Florida police have arrested Shanae Davis after it was discovered that she'd put a Glock 43 handgun in her child's lunchbox, alongside a sandwich and some grapes. That's not the side I like with a sandwich and some grapes. That is not what I'm looking for. According to a police report, Shanae admitted that on the morning of, she'd left the fully loaded handgun in the child's lunchbox as a safety precaution while in the car, as she does not carry a purse. Still, it's a handgun in a child's lunchbox. But apparently she forgot to take it out before sending her child into the school. Forgot to take it out. Then staff obviously opened the lunchbox, saw the gun, contacted police, as you would normally. But I seriously do not understand the play here. A, she forgot to take a gun out of her child's lunchbox, which is just something that you don't do. And B, was she expecting to quickdraw the lunchbox at the sight of an assailant? Someone comes up to try and steal the car and she sort of takes the lunchbox out of the holster and points it at them? I don't understand. I seriously don't. Tate McRae, Greedy, Tuesday morning, here on Zoo FM. Pinkham Willow, almost half past seven. Zoo FM Breakfast for you Tuesday morning. It's Keegan with you. Somewhere 30 degrees in Dubbo, 29 in Cobar today. Your full weather a couple of minutes away after the national news. Also about 10 minutes from now, getting an on-call firefighter from a local fire station that took part in the regional firefighter championships over the weekend. Just the amount of time they have, the limited amount of time to do such complex tasks with a fire truck is incredible. It's a time trial taken to a whole other level. I've just seen something come up in one of the local groups on Facebook. There is footage from about 4.30 this morning of someone, obviously some unscrupulous character, going and sussing out a house in West Dubbo. But they go to sort of flee the scene once realising that there's cameras all over the house. And they're filmed giving a good crack at jumping the fence while the gate is open right next to them. The gate is just wide open and they decide to do an Olympic pole vault right over the fence. I mean, it's a solid effort. It's a solid effort. They didn't exactly get there, but there was a much easier way, mate. The gate was open right next to you. Fascinating footage. Your national news is next. You're on Zoo's Breakfast. It's Breakfast. On 927 Zoo. We've got Ben O'Brien, the chair of the fundraising committee for the tour of the O'Rock that's just concluded coming on in just over an hour. Give us an update on how the fundraising went. As far as I've heard, they've raised a heap of money. They've completely blown their target out of the water and it's just absolutely fantastic. All the funds going to Macquarie Homestay. Up next, however, a senior firefighter and on-call firefighter from the Trangie Fire Station coming on. Tell us all about the regional firefighter championships they partook in over the weekend. It's just a fascinating feat that requires a skill that I would never have. Fans join First with Rocket. It's Tuesday morning here on Zoo FM. Hello! Calvin Harris, 20 minutes to 8. Zoo FM Breakfast here Tuesday morning. Four-day work week this week. We're practically halfway through. Top of 30 degrees today in Wellington. Currently 10.5. Crisp this morning. Meant to be sunny all week. The traffic's starting to get a bit busy on the Mitchell Highway between Wellington and Dubbo with the roadworks currently taking place. 40kmph speed zones in place in some places. That's on the Mitchell Highway between Dubbo and Wellington this morning. You're on Zoo's Breakfast. Tony Terry, senior firefighter and on-call firefighter at the Trangie Fire Station, joins us this morning. Good morning, mate. Good morning, Nick. How are you today? I'm all right. I'm sure you'd be tired. I hear you guys took part in the regional firefighter championships over the weekend. What's that all about? We went down to Tumut. We left here Friday morning. Championships is a fire brigade-based exercises which are electronically timed so you compete against other teams from other towns. Down at Tumut, it took us 500km to get down there. We pay our own accommodation, fuel and everything. We do not get paid for doing this. Saturday morning we lined up and we had a couple of events. We made two beautiful records but we got penalties because we didn't do the events properly. The events are related to the fire truck that we have at our stations in most country towns. Can you take me through what some of the events at the championships look like? The very first one at the appliance, they call it a Type 2 Isuzu truck. It's loaded with 10-metre, 70-millimetre hose. It's rolled on the bite, they call that. We have a breaching piece and a standpipe. In the two back boxes, we have two 38-length hose flaked. They're 30 metres long, 15 metres down. The two competitors have to climb a ladder reach, 3.5 metres to the top of the tower. They clip on with their harness on. They call for the water and in the meantime, we sink the standpipe, connect the breaching piece, put the 10-metre filler hose on, through the truck, out those lines, all in 31 seconds. All in 31 seconds? Yes. Oh my God. That's more involved than I thought it was. That's an incredible feat in such an amount of time. Yes, on that event, even with that 31 seconds, we had a 10-second penalty, we still come third. Right, OK. Well, you're obviously quite good at it, I won't doubt that. Is it your first rodeo at the championships? No, no, sadly. No, I started being a fireman in training in 1985. I started in 1987 at Zones. My first state was 1988 at Port Macquarie. I haven't missed a state championship. I've attended most of the Zone championships that's been put on through the years. On the weekend, John Hand, he's a historian, he reported that the championships have been running 92 years. Oh, wow. So that 92 years, Trengie has continuously competed for 52 years, and then out of that 52 years, I've continuously competed for 36 years. In 2000, when we were in our prime, we come second in the state. It was only 12 events, and we won six gold medals and still could not win. Wow. Over the years, John has competed with me for 30 years, my mate Mark has competed with me for 26 years, and his son Wade for 10 years. To me, it's like the Fire Brigade Olympics, when we do have a state championship and you win a gold medal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah. Do you guys actually have some sort of training regimen that you have to do to prepare for the event, or is it just normal everyday work? The teams that are first and second in front of us, they do do training. I have to be honest, we don't train as a team on the events, but just recently we've had house fires, you know, the towns surrounding us, which we back up to them and help them, particularly Warren, because they are very low on staff over there, but we do a lot of driving, 53km from Trengie to Warren, for their house fires, car accidents and that type of thing. Hold there for a sec, Tony, we're going to take a break. This is absolutely fascinating, I'd rather not cut it off now. I want to come back and just get into what the sort of response to an emergency looks like at the Trengie Fire Station. Quick break, mate, back in a sec. You're on ZOO's breaking. Check out ZOO-FM on Facebook for more. This is ZOO-FM, your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s Penelope Tuesday morning. Tony Terry, who's a senior firefighter and the on-call firefighter at the Trengie Fire Station joins us this morning. So what's it look like from, say, someone making a triple zero emergency call to you actually getting into the appliance and responding? So I live in Trengie, as people probably know by now. I work in my workshop. We have the phone or a pager goes off. I put down my spanners and respond to the fire station straightaway in my own car. We look on there, we have an MDT machine. It tells us what the incident is now, which is probably a good thing. And then we put in our uniform, we get the truck going, and then we leave and respond to the incident that's there. So if it is something in Trengie, say, a car accident on the highway, we could be out there, you know, you go out, you render first aid, fire protection, and then depending on the bad scenario of the incident, we are a primary rescue accredited at Trengie, which means we've got some very specialised tools, cutting tools, on cars to help remove the patients and then for the ambulance to do their job. Just to take it on a personal note, what brought you to get involved in the firefighting services right back in the beginning? I've always lived in Trengie, went to school in Trengie, done my apprenticeship in Trengie, and when I got married, they were shorter people and I went around to a house fire and they gave me a job and the next day they signed me up. Oh, wow, okay, so that was much faster than I thought it would be. Just before I let you go, one more question, there's obviously no big yellow fireball like in the movies, is there? No. Okay. No big yellow fireball. Cheers for having a chat this morning, mate, and thanks for all the work you do. One more thing, if there's anybody out there that's going to listen to me, I would really encourage you to join the fire service and be part of an amazing team and go to these championships. Brilliant, thank you very much, Tony, it's much appreciated. Okay, have a good day, then. You too, bye. There's Tony Terry, senior and on-call firefighter at the Trengie fire station, talking about his role as a firefighter in the local region as well as the regional firefighter championships that happen over the weekend. If you missed any part of it, you can always catch up on the podcast after the show this morning. You're on Zoo's Breakfast. Zoo, it's breakfast on Better Music 927 Zoo. A few minutes away, I'm going to be talking to you about this bloke who's had to surrender an absolutely amazing amount of animals to the RSPCA. It is just something. The figure of the amount of animals he had in one house is something else. I have never heard of it before, and I can't imagine the amount of maintenance involved in that amount of animals. Just over half an hour away, Ben O'Brien, the chair of the fundraising committee for the 280 O'Rock, that ended up concluding over the weekend, is going to be on. Give us an update on their fundraising that they've been doing. I'm pretty sure they've just absolutely smashed their target out of the water, and all the funds, of course, going to support Macquarie Homestay with their stage two construction of a CWA guest house. Selena Gomez, single soon, first for your Tuesday morning here on Zoo FM Breakfast. Nickelback, hard and heavy for your Tuesday morning here on Zoo FM Breakfast. It's about quarter past eight, top of 30 degrees in Narmine today, currently 13, crisp morning, but a lovely weekend, a lovely day ahead, going to be sunny. An animal welfare charity in Western Canada is scrambling to secure the resources needed to care for a large amount of cats voluntarily surrendered by a single owner. The previous owner, a man in British Columbia, described himself as overwhelmed when he decided to surrender 311 cats he had on his property. Single house, 311 cats. Apparently all in good condition, though. I don't know what counts as good condition when you're talking about a cat. It's like sort of a quality meter or something. Apparently he found himself spending thousands of dollars a month at times going without food himself to ensure they had the 28 kilograms of food a day that they needed. 28 kilograms of food, imagine just the quantity of food for 311 cats. I don't know, for some people that must be the idea of hell. If you envisioned hell in your mind, that would be it, is a room with 311 cats. But for others, probably me included, it'd be fun, it'd be fun for about three hours and then they'd start pooping everywhere and then it'd be another question. So 200, I just can't believe the amount, 28 kilograms of food a day. And he had to also buy cat litter for their 10 litter boxes. 10. 10 litter boxes. Actually, that doesn't seem like enough. 311 cats. Imagine both the volume and the smell of 10 litter boxes, though. I'd probably vacate the house and just let them have it. You're on Zoo's Breakfast. 20 minutes past day, Zoo FM Breakfast for your Tuesday morning. Four-day week, we're practically halfway through. It's up to 30 degrees and trangy today, currently 13 degrees. Very crisp morning but should be sunny today. Nice and warm and brilliant weather for the rest of the week and especially over the long weekend. That lunar eclipse last night, which was technically yesterday afternoon, possibly the most disappointing thing I've ever experienced. I ended up putting a post out on our socials, Zoo FM on Facebook, 92.7.2 on Instagram, saying, oh, you know, putting the time there that it'll be the maximum eclipsing that was happening and thought, oh, this will be brilliant. Headed outside, realised, oh, it would have been great to have the information that the moon was going to be barely over the horizon when it happened. So my view of the eclipse yesterday evening, flash afternoon, was my neighbour's house because the moon was behind it. And then once the moon got above that, saw nothing. Nothing different. Completely just that usual moon. The photo news, managed to get some brilliant pictures. My pictures were, if I'd attempted to take some photographs, it would have been photographing my neighbours eating dinner. So that really just wasn't going to happen. Anyway, in other news, a new study has revealed that 47% of adult children are still supported by their parents, whether that be via accommodation, food, rent assistance or bills. On average, parents are shelling out $1,380 a month to assist their adult children. The study also found that 61% of adult children are still living at home and don't contribute to household expenses at all. Not at all. None. 61%. Not whatsoever. 61%. That's way more than half, if I can do maths correctly. One of the study's recommendations was that you should set aside money for your retirement and emergency fund first, rather than your kids. I'd like to ask, 68, no, sorry, 6884-8499, that's the phone number, 6884-8499, not the Powerball numbers for Thursday night, do you still support your fully grown adult children at home? Do you still support them as the parent? 6884-8499, ring and have a chat. John Newman first, however. Me again, it's a Tuesday morning, 25 minutes past 8 o'clock. It's 2.07 breakfast. Good morning to you. It's breakfast on Zoom. A couple of minutes away, Ben O'Brien, chair of the fundraising committee for the Tootie O'Rock that's just concluded over the weekend, a massive stint, hundreds of kilometres they cycled right around the Central West and Orana region. Come round and have a chat, tell us how it's gone, give us a bit of a wrap-up, how the fundraising is going, and also your 80s hour at work, about half an hour away, with some of those absolutely brilliant hits from practically some of the golden days. Shake and Ray escapism, which is definitely not from the 80s. Starting us off with 2.07 breakfast, Tuesday morning. It's Keegan with you. Cheers for your company. Shake and Ray escapism, about 20 minutes to 9. 2.07 breakfast, top of 30 degrees in Gilgandra today, 3.15, a lovely week ahead, lots of sun, especially for the long weekend on your home at Dubbo's. Best music from the 80s to now. Now, Ben O'Brien joins us this morning following a massive week of the 2024 Tootie O'Rock. Good morning, mate. How are you going, Keegan? I'm all right. I'm sure you're sore. How did it all go? How did it wrap up on the weekend? Oh, really well, Matt. We had a great time, it was a great ride, and I think we've raised quite a lot of money, and I think when we got back there, everybody, all the riders were big smiles on their face and everybody just absolutely enjoyed themselves, so it was a great event all round. I think I saw some of the videos of you guys going into Cobar. Am I right to presume I saw there was a firetruck there giving you sort of a water salute? Yes, there was, which was kind of a little bit ironic given that it was raining at the time. It took us back to the event two years ago when we rode over that very same hill and came into Cobar and it was stinking hot and we were just absolutely exhausted. We went under that. That would have been great. What a relief that would have been. I'm wondering, how was the sort of the general feeling of the entire ride from all the rest of the riders? Really good, yeah. We got into, rode into Cobar, and there was a big crowd to greet us there and on the edge of the road just near the fire counter, and then we went around to the community centre and there was even more people there to greet us. Wow. And I think a lot of the riders and me personally just overcome with emotion the accumulation of everything and just to have that overwhelming community support at the end, it was just amazing and I'm pretty sure there was not a dry eye amongst any of the riders there. That's absolutely fantastic, mate. If you're able to give us a rough estimate as well at this point, how much was raised in support of Macquarie Homestead? Well, we've still got a few irons in the fire because we missed out on two of the charity events that we're going to have out at Sarbury Warren and Bourke and they'll be coming up later on in April, I believe. So there's a little bit of money still to come in with those and we have not actually finished our raffle yet for the RAV4. It's ongoing, but I can say to date I'm reasonably confident that we've raised more than we raised in 2022, which was $166,000. So I think we've gone around that. There was still a little bit of accounting to do to come to the final number and it's probably going to be a month before we know the exact number, but we're really, really pleased with how we've gone this year. And I think I just heard you say the raffle is still ongoing, so people can still go grab raffle tickets on tuatorock.bike? Absolutely. We've still got a couple of hundred there left to go. Yep, tuatorock.bike, and that'll be drawn on the 30th of April. I know you probably can't pick one instance, but what was really the highlight of the whole journey for you? Well, there was a lot of highlights. I think having the two Olympic gold medalists along with us and the speeches and inspiring discussions we had with them as we went around was a real highlight and it just elevated the tone of the whole event. So those two people were absolutely sensational. Well, congratulations, mate. It's a massive achievement for all involved and well done. Cheers for coming on this morning to give us a recap. Thanks very much, Keegan and Rich. Thanks very much for the support from ZOOFM and the coverage. No worries. Cheers, mate. You're on ZOO's Brekkie. A little bit of excess here. Tuesday morning, an absolute classic 5 to 9 ZOOFM breakfast. It's over 30 degrees in Narromine today, currently 15.5 chilly morning, which should hopefully be lovely and sunny today. However, I'm not a meteorologist, so I don't exactly know, but that's what the piece of paper tells me. The Dubbo Guide Dog Support Group invites you to twilight drinks and canapes on Saturday the 6th of April from 6pm. This fundraiser event will be held in the Regent Park Homestead Garden at 7 Avalon Place here in Dubbo. The Dubbo Guide Dog Support Group Committee has been raising funds to help train guide dogs for over 40 years. Twilight drinks and canapes. It sounds absolutely lovely, doesn't it? Tickets are available from 1-2-3-6 until April the 2nd. Doshi, what it is. Tuesday morning ZOOFM breakfast. Wrapping it up next and throwing you into your 80s hour at work as we head into an absolutely beautiful day ahead. Doshi, a couple of minutes to 9. ZOOFM breakfast, basically wrapping us up. Brought to you by McDonald's in Dubbo in Wellington. Macca's Surprise Fries is on now. You can peel your fries and win a prize. But hurry, the magic ends on the 9th of April. Top of 30 degrees in Dubbo today. 29 in Cobar. Your full weather just a few minutes away after the local and national news. And a reminder, they're on the Mitchell Highway going down to Wellington. If you're travelling between Wellington and Dubbo today at Yoolmogo Road, it's absolutely chockers because of the roadworks. It's slowing right down to 40km an hour, stopping in some places and it appears that the traffic is barely moving. So if you're heading in either of those directions, I'd certainly either reconsider your options or bring a bag of chips or something. Zoobricky.
