There is no lie that North Queensland has been hammered with rain over the past week with widespread flooding, rivers at record highs and it looks like there is much more on the way. Last week on the program, we had a number of listeners texting in about the Bradfield Scheme - a long-debated plan to capture floodwaters and redirect them inland to drought-proof Australia.

Member for Traeger, Rob Katter, joins Burty to discuss the scheme and why it's just "common sense".

A 26-Year-old Brisbane man is preparing for an extraordinary challenge. His name is Oliver Foran and he is aiming to become the fastest person to travel from sea level to the summit of Mount Everest. A journey that tests the human body to the max, but this journey isn’t all about breaking records - It’s about honouring his late mother. Oliver chats to Burty about his motivations and the preparation needed for such a feat.

The state of WA could not escape the headlines this week. From fishing laws hurting local tackle shops and caravan parks in fishing towns, to three men being charged after allegedly dumping 200 kg of shark heads outside the Fisheries minister's office.

It is clear that anglers aren’t happy in WA. Burty chats to Shane Younger, a small business owner from Seaport Tackle in Jurien Bay about what is going on and the lessons we can learn here in QLD.
