Western Spirit Football Club is preparing to welcome former players, current members, sponsors and local supporters to Kippen Park for its annual Old Boys and Girls gathering and sponsors’ evening.

Speaking with Rach Z on Radio Springfield City, Western Spirit Director, Technical Director and Senior Men’s Head Coach Joe Fenech said the event had become an important club tradition.

“It creates a really good tradition, which occurs annually,” Joe said.

The day will feature football from morning through to the evening, beginning with junior teams from approximately 9.00 am. The under-23s will take the field later in the day, followed by the senior men’s match against Bayside United.

Joe said Western Spirit’s under-23 squad included a talented group of young players who were working towards opportunities in the senior team.

A Full Day of Local Football

Supporters and community members are invited to attend the matches at Kippen Park on Eden Street in Goodna.

Entry is free, with food and refreshments available from Wingies Canteen throughout the day.

Joe said the gathering provided an opportunity for former and current players to reconnect while sponsors, families and supporters enjoyed the football and club atmosphere.

Western Spirit currently has more than 500 registered players and continues to grow each year. The club also has a developing female football program, with its teams already performing strongly.

Volunteers Make the Club Possible

During the interview, Joe acknowledged the volunteers, parent coaches, committee members and supporters who help keep Western Spirit operating.

The club welcomes people who may be interested in assisting with coaching, team management, equipment, ground maintenance, canteen operations or other volunteer positions.

“Everyone’s welcome,” Joe said.

He also recognised the club’s committee and the many people who contribute their time behind the scenes.

“Without them, the club would struggle. Most importantly, I’d like to acknowledge all the volunteers and parent coaches and everyone at the club, because it’s what makes the club.”

Community members interested in playing, volunteering, sponsoring the club or simply watching a good day of local football are encouraged to visit Western Spirit Football Club at Kippen Park.

The interview was featured on Lunchtime with Rach Z on Radio Springfield City.

Step Back into the ’90s These School Holidays at Orion Springfield Central

Families can rewind the clock and experience the sights, sounds and memories of the 1990s at Orion Springfield Central these school holidays.

Rach Z spoke with Yasmin, National Marketing Manager for Mirvac, on Radio Springfield City about the centre’s new Rewind Room—an immersive experience designed to introduce children to the decade their parents grew up in.

The experience features a collection of nostalgic ’90s-themed spaces, including a video store, high school locker room, poster-covered bedroom and a familiar animated living room inspired by another town called Springfield.

Visitors can explore the music, movies, technology and pop culture that defined the decade.

Yasmin said the experience gives parents an opportunity to share their memories with their children while young visitors discover items they may never have encountered before, including video tapes and corded telephones.

“One of my favourite experiences was explaining the corded phone on the wall and how your brother could pick up another phone in the house and listen to your conversation,” Yasmin told Rach Z.

“It was so cool to re-experience all of those memories with my kids.”

Alongside the Rewind Room, Orion Springfield Central will offer a range of school holiday activities, including pizza-making and slap-band workshops, a mini Comic Con experience with QBD Books and other family entertainment throughout the centre.

Affordable fun supporting an important cause

Entry to the Rewind Room is $5 per person, with every dollar donated to The Hope Hub, which assists families affected by domestic and family violence.

Yasmin said the initiative allows families to enjoy an affordable school holiday outing while supporting an important local service.

Online bookings are recommended because sessions have been filling quickly. Walk-in visitors may also be able to book using the QR code at the entrance, subject to availability.

Throwback Thursday prices

The nostalgia will continue throughout winter with Orion Springfield Central’s Throwback Thursday promotions.

Special offers will be announced each Tuesday through the centre’s social media channels, with upcoming deals including 50-cent Paddle Pops and Bubble O’Bills.

Rach Z said the Rewind Room offered something entertaining for children while allowing parents to revisit some forgotten memories from their younger years.

Ipswich Cup Day once again brought racing, fashion, music and thousands of racegoers together at the Ipswich Turf Club in Bundamba.

Broadcasting from the event for Radio Springfield City, Rach Z caught up with Ipswich Turf Club Chief Executive Officer Nathan Exelby to discuss what makes the Ipswich Cup such an important occasion for the city.

Nathan said the event has built an incredibly loyal following, with many people returning year after year.

“The City of Ipswich and Greater Ipswich take ownership of this day, and they make it what it is and has been for 160 years,” he said.

For Rach Z, who has attended the Ipswich Cup for around a decade, the day is about much more than the racing. It is also an opportunity to catch up with people, enjoy the food and entertainment, and see the wide variety of fashions on display.

Nathan described the racetrack as a “melting pot” that brings together people from all sections of the community.

From sophisticated outfits to colourful and creative suits, he said Cup Day allows everyone to add their own personality to the occasion.

The event also provides an important economic boost for Ipswich, supporting local fashion providers, hospitality businesses and other suppliers before, during and after the event.

This year’s infield music festival featured food trucks alongside live entertainment, while the Turf Club’s hospitality team worked to provide plenty of options across the venue.

Racing remained at the centre of the celebrations, with strong fields assembled for the day’s feature races. Before scratchings, approximately 160 horses had been accepted across the program.

Nathan said Ipswich Cup Day has a reputation for thrilling finishes and hoped racegoers would once again see some exciting contests on the track.

Beyond Cup Day, the Ipswich Turf Club is preparing for a busy 2026–27 racing season, with 43 meetings scheduled.

Annual membership costs $170 and provides entry to all 43 meetings and access to the members’ area. Members are also invited to two dedicated members’ days featuring complimentary food and drinks.

Nathan encouraged people interested in racing and the Ipswich Turf Club community to visit the club’s website and consider becoming a member.

Queensland will be fighting to keep the State of Origin series alive tonight following a dramatic loss in the opening game.

Ahead of Game 2, Antoine Vidal was joined on Radio Springfield City by Origin expert and the station’s “18th Man”, Shaun, to discuss the team changes, key matchups and what the Maroons must do to force a series decider.

Shaun believes Queensland can take plenty of confidence from its Game 1 performance, despite the result.

“I think we were unlucky in Game 1,” Shaun said.

“If we play the way we played in Game 1, minus the controversial moments, I think the outcome could be very different.”

Team changes could shape the contest

Queensland enters the match with a relatively settled side, although the absence of Patrick Carrigan will require changes through the middle.

Shaun said the Maroons’ speed around the ruck and their ability to move the ball through the forwards could again trouble New South Wales.

He also highlighted the inclusion of Reece Walsh in the squad as a possible attacking option if Queensland needs to change the momentum of the game.

“It will be interesting to see, if Queensland is behind at any point, whether Billy Slater thinks Walsh is the man to spark something,” Shaun said.

New South Wales has also made changes following injuries, with both teams expected to bring plenty of speed and physicality into the contest.

Shaun believes the forward battle will be relatively even, meaning the game could be decided by which team’s halves make the most of quick play-the-balls and attacking opportunities.

Shaun backs Queensland in a close finish

Shaun is tipping the Maroons to win by between one and 12 points.

He is also predicting a big performance from Queensland forward Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, who is expected to play following the passing of his father.

“I think we are going to see a man-of-the-match performance from Tino,” Shaun said.

“He will want to stand up, make his dad proud and lead from the front.”

For those looking for a possible first try scorer, Shaun believes Queensland hooker Harry Grant could capitalise on some quick play through the middle.

His final predictions are:

Queensland to win by one to 12 points, Tino Fa’asuamaleaui for Player of the Match and Harry Grant to score the opening try.

A Queensland victory would send the series to a deciding Game 3 at Suncorp Stadium.

Ipswich-born and Goodna-raised country artist Brooke Seabrook joined Antoine Vidal on Radio Springfield City to discuss her musical journey, her connection to Australian storytelling and the inspiration behind her latest single, I Took My Town Away.

Growing up as one of seven children in an old Queenslander on a hill in Goodna, Brooke remembers a childhood filled with country music, family noise and stories.

“Our house was run on an old wood stove, and the walls were filled with a lot of country music and a lot of noise,” Brooke said.

Music and storytelling were always present in Brooke’s family. Her father would occasionally pick up the mouth organ, while her grandmother’s poetry from the late 1800s and early 1900s helped inspire Brooke’s love of words and Australian history.

A Love of the Country

Brooke released her debut single, No City Lives in Me, in 2025.

The song explores the feeling of living in one place while longing for another. Although Brooke grew up in the city, she has always felt a strong connection to the bush, country towns and the stories found within them.

“It was about being in a place but yearning for another,” she said.

Brooke’s songwriting has also received recognition through lyricist and songwriting competitions. She said being recognised for something she loves has been a proud personal achievement.

“I never thought that I could get there, so it’s something that I’m really proud of,” she said.

‘I Took My Town Away’

During the interview, Brooke spoke about her latest single, I Took My Town Away, which was released following her win at the Thornton Young Award in Tamworth.

The award is affiliated with the Country Music Association of Australia and recognises artists who continue the tradition of Australian heritage music and bush ballad storytelling.

Brooke said the new song was partly inspired by questions about how someone raised in Goodna could describe having a country upbringing.

The song reflects on Goodna and other familiar places that have changed so much over time that they can become difficult to recognise.

“This one is really quite special because it speaks, for me, of Goodna and of places that we hold really close to our hearts that you just don’t recognise anymore,” Brooke said.

Brooke worked with award-winning musician and producer Lindsay Waddington to bring the song to life in the studio.

She said the song has already encouraged listeners to share their own memories of hometowns, communities and places that have changed.

“That’s what I love about songwriting and storytelling. People come and tell you their stories,” she said.

Brooke also revealed that she has another two singles planned for release this year.

Opening for Luke O’Shea

Brooke is preparing to open for acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Luke O’Shea at Studio 188 in Ipswich on 1 August.

The opportunity came unexpectedly, with Brooke initially wondering whether the invitation was a prank.

She will perform a 30-minute supporting set at the historic Ipswich venue.

“I’m so excited about getting up there and doing it,” Brooke said.

She described Luke O’Shea as one of Australia’s finest musical storytellers and singer-songwriters.

Supporting Local Music

Radio Springfield City’s Antoine Vidal thanked Brooke for sharing her story and celebrating her strong connection to Ipswich, Goodna and Australian music.

Listeners can follow Brooke Seabrook and discover her latest music at brookeseabrook.com.

Supporting local artists helps ensure the stories, people and places of our region continue to be heard.

Last Saturday on Radio Springfield City, Rach Z was joined by Donelle Whiteley, President of the Rotary Club of Greater Springfield, for a warm and inspiring conversation about community service, local projects and the power of people coming together.

Donelle shared that Rotary is not only a service organisation, but also a group that knows how to have fun while making a real difference. One recent example was Project Kade, a heartfelt fundraising effort supporting a local family. Rach spoke about attending the event and leaving with “a full cup” after seeing the generosity and compassion shown by the club.

The conversation also highlighted the wide range of projects Rotary is involved in, both locally and internationally. In Greater Springfield, the club has helped install a Peace Pole at Robelle Domain, featuring the message “May peace prevail on earth” in multiple languages.

Janelle also spoke about Rotary’s work overseas, including sponsoring a classroom in Siem Reap, Cambodia, helping children access education and work towards breaking the cycle of poverty.

Rotary’s broader impact was also discussed, including its support of Bloodbikes, ShelterBox, and the global End Polio Now campaign.

For those wanting to get involved, the Rotary Club of Greater Springfield meets every second Thursday of the month at Springfield Vista, formerly known as Aveo. Janelle said anyone interested in community service, friendship and making a difference is welcome to come along.

Listeners can also find out more by searching for Rotary Club of Greater Springfield on Facebook and sending the club a message.

It was another great local conversation on Radio Springfield City, showcasing the people and organisations working hard to make Greater Springfield an even better place to live.

Radio Springfield City’s Rach Z was joined on air by Maddie Moulds, Marketing and Loyalty Manager at Club Parkview Goodna, to chat about an upcoming community event with heart.

Club Parkview is hosting its first Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event in support of Cancer Council Queensland, bringing the community together for a morning of food, conversation, fundraising, and connection.

Maddie shared that the event will feature special guest speakers, including Jenny Jenner from Kalbar Sunflowers, Gail Rogers from Ipswich Hospice, and a representative from Cancer Council Queensland. Each speaker will bring a unique perspective on cancer care, community support, wellbeing, and the impact fundraising can have locally.

The morning tea will also include a delicious spread, with classic favourites such as finger sandwiches, scones, fresh produce, and plenty of morning tea treats.

The event will be held on Friday, 26 June from 9am to midday at Club Parkview Goodna.

Tickets can be booked through the Club Parkview website, via their social media pages, or in person at the venue for those who prefer to book directly with staff.

Rach Z praised Maddie for her continued support of local events and community initiatives, with Maddie teasing that there are plenty more Club Parkview events to come throughout the year.

It is set to be a meaningful morning of community spirit, fundraising, and support for an important cause.

Radio Springfield City’s Rach Z welcomed newly elected President-elect of Zonta Ipswich, Leanne Roberts, to the show for a Saturday afternoon.  A conversation about leadership, community, and an exciting opportunity for young women in business.

Leanne, who was elected President-elect earlier in the week, said it was a privilege to help lead the Zonta Ipswich club and continue its long history of recognising and celebrating women across the local community.

During the interview, Leanne spoke about the upcoming Zonta Women in Business Leadership Award, a $1,000 award designed to celebrate excellence and outstanding achievement by women aged between 18 and 35.

The award is open to women in business in Ipswich who are showing leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, and a commitment to making an impact, whether locally or more broadly.

Leanne said the award focuses on young women who are already running successful local businesses and enriching the Ipswich community through their leadership, passion, and drive.

The $1,000 prize is flexible, giving the winner the opportunity to use it in a way that supports their personal or professional growth. This may include developing new skills, undertaking training, supporting a cause they are passionate about, or investing in their future.

Applications close on June 29.

Those interested in applying or finding out more can contact Zonta Ipswich by emailing ipswichzonta@gmail.com and requesting an application form.

State of Origin is back for 2026, and so is The 18th Man on Radio Springfield City.

Shaun joined Antoine for a special preview ahead of Game One, taking listeners through the big talking points before kick-off, including the Blues’ line-up, Queensland’s squad selections, the new six-man bench rule, and the players who could decide the result.

For New South Wales, Shaun looked at the impact of Mitchell Moses being ruled out with a hamstring strain and the inclusion of Matt Burton in the squad. He also highlighted the Blues’ strong forward pack, including big bodies through the middle, and suggested their game plan may focus on quick play-the-balls and targeting the middle third of the field.

Queensland’s side also came under the spotlight, with Shaun backing the selection of Kalyn Ponga and praising the Maroons’ form in the outside backs. He also pointed to Cameron Munster’s ability to rise in the Origin arena, while tipping Sam Walker as a player who could make a major impact.

The discussion also covered the new six-man bench rule, which allows teams to name six players but use four, giving coaches more flexibility if injuries or head injury assessments force key players from the field.

Shaun also spoke about Queensland’s debutants, including Jojo Fifita, Max Plath, Sam Walker and Briton Nikora, as well as the updated eligibility rules that have allowed players with strong state connections to represent Queensland or New South Wales.

When it came time for bold predictions, Shaun tipped Selwyn Cobbo as first try scorer, Sam Walker as player of the match, and Queensland to win by eight points.

It’s passionate, it’s local, and it’s everything State of Origin should be.

Residents across Ipswich and Greater Springfield are set to benefit from new federal budget measures, according to Federal Member for Blair, Shayne Neumann, who joined Radio Springfield City this week.

Speaking with host Rachel, Neumann outlined key elements of the budget, including tax relief for millions of Australians and targeted reforms aimed at improving housing affordability.

One of the headline measures is a $1,000 instant tax deduction, expected to benefit around 1.3 million Queenslanders. This initiative simplifies the tax process by allowing workers to claim a standard deduction instead of tracking individual work-related expenses.

In addition, broader tax cuts and offsets are being rolled out, with the average Australian worker projected to benefit by up to $3,000 by 2028.

Neumann emphasised that the reforms are designed to address growing economic pressures, including the global oil shock, while supporting workers, businesses, and the wider community.

A major focus of the conversation was housing affordability—an issue impacting many in the Ipswich region. Neumann highlighted that house prices have risen significantly faster than wages over recent decades, creating barriers for first-home buyers.

To address this, the government is proposing changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax arrangements, aiming to level the playing field between investors and first-time buyers.

“We’re trying to give people a fair go,” Neumann said, noting that current conditions often see young buyers competing against investors at auctions.

The reforms are expected to help an additional 75,000 Australians enter the housing market, while existing schemes—such as the 5% deposit initiative—continue to support local buyers.

Neumann also pointed to broader goals of building a stronger, more resilient economy that works for more Australians, particularly in growing communities like Ipswich.

The full interview is available now on Radio Springfield City., Housing & Fair Go: Shane Neumann Breaks Down the Federal Budget”

Federal Member for Blair, Shane Neumann, joins Rachel on Radio Springfield City to unpack the latest federal budget and what it means for locals in Ipswich and Greater Springfield.

From tax cuts and the new $1,000 instant deduction to changes in negative gearing and capital gains, Shane explains how these reforms aim to support everyday Australians. The conversation dives into housing affordability, helping first-home buyers compete, and creating a fairer tax system for workers.

If you’re wondering how these changes could impact your wallet, your home ownership goals, or your future—this is one interview you don’t want to miss.

Residents across Springfield and Goodna are being encouraged to better understand upcoming tax changes following a recent federal budget update.

Speaking on Radio Springfield City, Division 2 Councillor Nicole Jonic—who is also a registered accountant—joined host Rach Z to explain what the changes mean for everyday Australians.

Councillor Jonnick reassured listeners that while there has been widespread discussion around taxation reforms, particularly negative gearing and capital gains tax, the impact on the average worker is relatively modest.

“There are some small benefits coming,” she said. “The government has introduced a $250 working Australian tax offset, and there are slight reductions to the lowest tax bracket over the next few years.”

The tax rate for the first bracket is set to decrease from 16% to 15% in 2027, and then to 14% in 2028—offering gradual savings for workers.

However, more complex changes apply to property investors. New rules around negative gearing will only apply to newly purchased properties moving forward, and only if they are not brand-new builds.

For those with existing investment properties, Councillor Jonnick emphasised there is no immediate impact.

“It’s really about new purchases going forward,” she explained.

She also noted that capital gains tax changes may affect individuals with long-held assets, particularly those acquired before 1985, and recommended seeking professional advice in more complex situations.

With many Australians already contacting the ATO for clarity, Councillor Jonic encouraged people to access reliable information online or speak directly with a tax advisor.

“There’s a lot of information out there, but if your situation is unique, it’s always best to get tailored advice,” she said.

The interview highlighted the importance of local voices helping break down national policy into practical, easy-to-understand insights for the community.

Monday Madness has returned to Radio Springfield City, with Paula back in the studio alongside Antoine for a morning full of laughs, local stories, sharp opinions and classic on-air chaos.

After what the pair jokingly described as Paula’s “long service leave” — self-imposed, of course — the much-loved Monday Madness energy was back in full swing.

The episode opened with plenty of banter between Paula and Antoine, including missed messages, accidental ghosting, giant wraps, and the very relatable chaos of busy family life. Paula shared the story of accidentally sending Antoine a message meant for her husband about oversized wraps, sparking a hilarious discussion about text mix-ups and modern communication.

The pair also reflected on their recent role as co-emcees at the Mater Chicks in Pink Springfield event. They praised the community support, with Paula noting the incredible sea of pink and the more than $100,000 raised for the cause. Both agreed the event was a huge success and hoped to be invited back next year — although Antoine may need to work on his Nutbush skills before then.

Listeners also heard about Paula’s busy Easter, complete with family visits, birthday celebrations, and a memorable Easter egg hunt involving boiled eggs that were later discovered in the garden in less-than-ideal condition.

The show then took a more serious turn as Paula shared her thoughts on the Federal Budget. Drawing on her experience as a tax accountant, she discussed proposed changes that could affect small business owners, investors and everyday working families. Paula stressed that the changes were still proposals and encouraged listeners to seek professional advice before making any decisions.

Of course, Monday Madness would not be complete without plenty of side conversations. The episode covered everything from Canberra travel stories and the Australian War Memorial, to Radio Springfield City’s music programming, country music, Harry Potter audiobooks, Netflix watchlists, and Paula’s unforgettable novelty chicken-feet socks.

The return of Monday Madness reminded listeners why Paula and Antoine make such an entertaining team: unpredictable, funny, local and full of personality.

If you’re heading to the Ipswich Show this year, there’s one stop you won’t want to miss — the Rotary Club of Ipswich City’s famous strawberry sundaes.

Rach Z caught up with Rotary board member and media lead Matthew Taylor Farrington during a special lunchtime broadcast on Radio Springfield City, highlighting the incredible work happening behind the scenes.

For many showgoers, the sundaes are a delicious tradition. But what many don’t realise is that every single purchase goes directly back into the local community.

“We’ve been doing this for a long time,” Matthew shared. “All proceeds support our local projects — and there are quite a few.”

Among those initiatives is a powerful partnership with Eat Up Australia, providing sandwiches to local schools for children who arrive without lunch. To date, the club has helped make close to 80,000 sandwiches.

They also run a fruit box program delivering fresh fruit to schools, ensuring kids who miss breakfast don’t go without.

Beyond food programs, Rotary Ipswich City is deeply embedded in the community, running events like the Tough Kids Triathlon, delivering magical experiences for children with special needs through Razzamatazz, and supporting older residents through their Life Reflections project.

And yes — the sundaes themselves live up to the hype.

This year they were located near the main entrance of the showgrounds, across from the information booth, the stand serves up a classic combination of fresh strawberries, locally supplied ice cream from Ungermann Brothers, whipped cream, and a strawberry on top.

Priced at just $8.50, it’s a small price for something that makes a big difference.

So next time you’re at the Ipswich Show, grab a sundae — and know you’re helping support a stronger, more connected community.

Launching on June 6, the day that celebrates Queensland’s identity and independence, the release pays tribute to the region’s rich heritage and pioneering spirit.

Distilled, aged and bottled in Ipswich, the whisky is the result of years of patience, craftsmanship and a deep connection to place.

“This isn’t just a product launch—it’s a milestone,” said Chief Distiller Jason Hannay.
“We chose Queensland Day deliberately. It represents identity, independence, and that same spirit is captured in this whisky for Ipswich.”

The limited release will be available at the distillery’s cellar door and online, with strong demand expected.

Imbibis Craft Distillery Address: 5/1 Gliderway St, Bundamba QLD 4304
