Bush Telegraph

Michael MacKenzie Presented by Michael Mackenzie, ABC Radio's Bush Telegraph is an entertaining look at rural and regional issues around Australia. Each day Bush Telegraph is heard at 11:00am on Radio National.

It's current, it's topical and it's an in-depth look at what makes life outside our capital cities so unique. Our far-flung rural reporters take us with them as they experience life in rural and regional Australia - on farms, in towns and in the bush, and we hear first hand from the people who live there.

On Fridays we explore the fascinating world of food, from the way we grow it to the final pleasure of eating, and all the delicious bits in between.

Each day Country Viewpoint offers a unique social commentary from people who live outside the capital cities. And for those who want to keep up with the Rural News, there is a daily look at the news headlines.

Bush Telegraph is broadcast Monday to Friday between 11:00am and 12:00 on ABC's Radio National. » Find your local Radio National frequency.
