How Great Are Holidays?

Over the last few weeks, I have been having a few days off from my 4MK radio show, so that meant no 4am alarm to get up and go, but it did allow me to do a few other things that I don't normally do.

I got to see the sunrise from my bed. That I just don’t get to see during the week, and I love it.

I live in South Mackay near the beach, so I love getting up and going for a walk on the beach with a dog on the lead. Right now, I don’t have a dog so if anyone wants a dog walker give me a call when I get back to work.

The other thing I love to do on holidays is have a cheat breakfast day, every day of the week. That means bacon and eggs when you wake up. How great is that? Like I say, a cheat day to many people could be sweets, biscuits or even alcohol. To me the good old bacon and eggs are the bomb and I’m very lucky to be able to do it during the week.

Holidays also allow me to get out and explore a bit more. Last week I was up at Finch Hatton Gorge going for a swim. I’ve been having a beer at the Eimeo Pub, and I’ve also taken the drone up near Walkerston to check out our beautiful cane fields. It’s just the best view from 100 metres in the air.

That’s all stopped now because I’m back on the radio and loving it.

If you’re still on holidays now that the kids have gone back to school, that’s great. If you’ve got kids with you at home for any reason, I’m thinking of you. I hope you’re having some of your own time as well.

A reminder if you’re looking for things to do and see around our Mackay region, please go and check out the volunteers at the region's visitor information centres. They have all the details and ideas to look outside the box.

One suggestion from me, go up the Diggings at Eungella. You’ll love it. Guaranteed.

You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK!
