AUSTRALIA ALL OVER

LISTEN TO AUSTRALIA ALL OVER on Sunday mornings on ABC Radio. It's from 6 am to 9 am or 7 am to 10 am. A couple of hours at least. I don't know. My brain doesn't do well on Sunday mornings but it is worth reaching out from under the blanket to switch on the clock/radio. That's 774 in Melbourne. 

The show is about Australians and Australia. The host Macca, gets calls from all over the world, from all kinds of Aussies. He doesn't get many calls from motorcycle riders talking about what a great country this is to ride a bike in but. 

We especially want riders to ring in about their local Christmas TOY RUN.

We also want Aussie riders touring or living overseas to tell Macca about TOY RUNs where they are. In Canada for example, TOY RUNs are held in September and October due to the harsh winters.

The talkback number is 1300 700 222.

RACV SUPPORTS THE TAC ANTIBIKE TAX

RACV gives very little to motorcycling and it supports the discriminatory TAC tax. Royalauto runs far more bicycle stories than it does motorcycle or scooter stories. Now's your chance to have a say. Submit your feedback and pass this link on to as many riders as you can.

AUSTRALIA ALL OVER - CALL MACCA

AUSTRALIAN RIDERS from across the country and overseas should ring MACCA over the coming month and tell him about your TOY RUN specifically or just the joys of touring OZ in general.

You might be Fred from Adelaide doing the Perth Charity Ride or Jan from Hobart who is doing the Vancouver TOY RUN this year. Or maybe you're Tim from Brisbane who is taking in the view from high on Mount Kosiosko. You get the idea.
Who's MACCA?

What!!

Australia All Over. ABC Radio. Sunday Mornings. Do not admit you've never listened to it. Asio will hear and you'll be deported.
The phone numbers are 02 8333 1020 or 02 8333 1500.
The talkback line is 1300 700 222.
Please get these numbers on facebook, twitter, websites, blogs whatever. There must be riders or X riders out there who have something positive to say about this great Australian Christmas tradition, the TOY RUN.
