Valley Sunrise Edition 827
0600 ~ 0900 AEDT

I invite you to start Sunday, my way on TYGA-FM 98.9 and on-line at www.tygafm.org.au/listen-live/ for great music you won’t hear locally on mainstream radio.
Included today, chartbuster hits from this month in 1972.

🖼– Today’s photo: A creek, which borders part of my son’s property near New Norfolk. Under normal flows, most of the exposed rocks are under water.
