3AW’s Ross & John announce OB to help post-bushfire tourism

Ross & John have announced a live OB from the bushfire-affected area of Gippsland on Friday, January 31.

The move from the 3AW Breakfast team follows fellow Nine Radio host Alan Jones, who spent Tuesday and Wednesday this week broadcasting from the fire-affected Batemans Bay.

3AW’s Ross & John are calling on listeners to join them from 5:30am at the Albert & Co restaurant at Bellevue in Lakes Entrance on Friday.

The broadcast is being supported by Visit Victoria, with the aim to help advertise the area and encourage tourists to return after recent bushfires.

Speaking on 3AW Breakfast recently, Tourism Minister Martin Pakula said that towns in the area are crying out for tourists, with many not directly impacted by the fires.

He then extended the invite to Ross & John, telling them that Lakes Entrance is still in “pristine” condition.

“You and John should get down here yourselves, it’s just a glorious part of the state.”

3AW is also broadcasting A Moveable Feast with Ross and Kate
from Albert & Co restaurant at 11am this Saturday.
