Brunswick

I was just thinking about the 3am pub openings.

Now I used to work as a DJ at Bombay Rock in Brunswick back in the early 80s and I just feel that the band culture has really died away since probably the late 80s, early 90s and I think having some of these pubs back open to the three o'clock in some areas is really going to bring that.

Melbourne was always the band's capital, I feel, of Australia.

And I just think it would bring that feel back again.

That's not bad.

He also played 27 games for Brunswick apparently.

Brunswick? In the VFA.

Oh.

Who hasn't though? Just quietly, is Keith still with us? According to Wikipedia, Keith Gregg's still alive.

The London Tavern is great.

If you're a Brisbane fan, the Royal Derby or Derby, I don't know how to pronounce it.

Yeah, what is it? That's on Alexandra Parade and Brunswick Street.

Because Geez, he was fantastic.

Dr. Tim Reed, MP for Brunswick, died Saturday morning of skin cancer at the age of 64.

And it's clear from the tributes flowing from people across the political divide, he was a special, wonderful human.

Tim was generous with his time, knowledge and spirit.

Now, the Gimme Five, Happy Health Communities, the election, Monday mornings, trip over your tongue and do more than two syllables.

Okay, it's going to be a Tuesday, September the 29th from 5.30 to 7pm at the Duke of Albany in Abbotsford.

And I'll just bring a little bit more detail up about that because we had one last week for Brunswick, Melbourne.

Ah, come on, little Faraday cage of a studio.

You'd be mad to miss it.

It's at Brunswick.

It's at Humdinger Studios.

So many good people are going to be there.

Now, if you don't know Humdinger, They were the studios that were born with Aunty Donna.

Aunty Donna and Haven't You Done Well kind of started that whole place.

So it's a fun home of comedy and comedy making in Brunswick, in Melbourne.

So look forward to seeing you there.

We had a great night.

Then the next morning, we got to Mediterranean Wholesalers in Brunswick at opening.

So you can imagine that was a big drive because...

The American football was on at the MCG.

This is the story of Georgina Sweet.

She was born on the 22nd of January 1875 in Brunswick, Melbourne, the elder of two daughters of George Sweet and his wife, Fanny.

Her father was in the y- her father was, in the early years of life, a plasterer.

He became in time the proprietor of the Brunswick Brick, Tile, and Pottery Company.

He was also, in the hours outside of the business, something else entirely: an amateur geologist of serious standing, a fellow of the Geological Society, a man who'd built up an extensive fossil collection that eventually went to the Museum of Victoria, who corresponded widely with Australian geologists, who was second in command to Edgeworth David on the Funafuti coral atoll expedition in 1897, and who was elected president of the Royal Society of Victoria in 1905.

A plasterer and a businessman who was also a respected scientist.

It was the first time a woman had won that prize.

She had, by this point, been judged by those qualified to judge such things as Australia's foremost parasitologist.

Think of what was once the working class suburbs of poor suburbs of your city.

Here in Melbourne, places like Fitzroy, Burnley, Coburg, Brunswick have transformed with the implosions and explosions of the city over time and become affluent areas due to their proximity to the city centre of Melbourne, as urban sprawl has spread further outwards and those places are now closer to where the money happens.

Factories have become luxury apartments and microbreweries.

Red bricks, which were a common building material for working class suburbs, are now heritage designer choices in these places.

So meeting outside the U.S. consulate at 533 St. Kilda Road at 2 p.m. on Sunday to celebrate the International Day of Peace and demand an end to AUKUS.

Happening tonight is a showing of The Return, a play by Alaa al-Qaisi.

It's hosted by the Return Project in Free Palestine, Melbourne and happening at the Brunswick Mechanic Institute at 270 Sydney Road.

There are multiple performance dates, but today, tomorrow and on Sunday, it will be held at the Brunswick Mechanics Institute before heading off to Ballarat, Keesborough and Castlemaine.

Anyway, but we've got a really jam packed show for you guys today.

So yeah, starting off at 7.15, we're going to listen to two of the speakers from an event that took place at Balambalam Place in Brunswick.

And it was a discussion about the historic 1986 Nurses' Strike in Victoria.

So we're going to hear a speech by Irene Bolger, who was a registered nurse for 20 years and first worked at the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation before being elected secretary.

Become an Australia Western Sahara Association member at awsa.org.au. Australian Western Sahara Association is a 3CR supporter.

You're listening to Tuesday Breakfast.

On Saturday 22nd of August, there was a public meeting and discussion about the historic 1986 nurses' strike in Victoria held at Balambalam Place in Brunswick.

On today's program, we'll be hearing from two of the speakers from that event.

... um, interesting flavors that we can then put into our cocktails at Mr West.

But when searching for a warehouse, we found this warehouse space in Brunswick that we became quite enamored with.

[laughs]

And-

Yeah, yeah

...

in, in East Brunswick, which is still going today.

I was actually there on the weekend.
