live on the free Heart.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Now with the.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Podcast Brisbane River looking majestic this morning, and we have
Alana from the room. It does look majestic.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well it hasn't.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The sun isn't high enough for the brown to show
through yet. It's this is this is the time, the
golden hour.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I talk about it all the time. This is the time,
this is the postcard moment. Even the ripples look dirty. Well,
there's talk, there's talk, Alanta.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I've heard you mentioning that we could be doing something
with the pontoons.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yes, so council has decided. You know, we've got a
bunch of pontoons sitting around, which are those spots by
the water where you can kind of dock water vessels
of some description. And they're for public use right now.
But you know they thought, well, if we make these
for commercial use, it unlocks all these tourism of the
unities that can really make the brown snake sing ahead
(01:15):
of the Olympics, you know, like us using the river
as kind of because they.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Don't use them much.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I will say when I I remember taking my fishing
boat to South Bank and there's one there, and I,
you know, we tied up and we went and had lunch.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
This is it was really awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But I remember thinking and I think we did it
twice and both times we were the only boat there.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
No one I did wonder. I didn't wonder whether we
were allowed to because this is legit. I'm just dying
up here and it seems okay.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
But I just feel like letting off your kayak or
like going of boats and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So the eight of them Murray north Shore, Hamilton, Kingsford,
Smith Drive, Newfarm Park, City Botanical Gardens, Dutton Park River Hills,
and there's one at west End which is under repair.
But just talk about making them commercial. So getting up business.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Business is so using like water taxis could come and go,
or like seafood cruises or adventure seafood cruises, go catch
your own fresh catching balls might be illegal.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I mean I do like having seafood by the water,
but not necessarily this water. What about thirteen one O
six five.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
If you've got any ideas that, what do you got, Corey?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You've got me first, Yes, a floating nightclub a.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Nightclub that's good, So you get on. So does it
stay there? No, it floats off. How do you get
it back? A motor on it is a driver.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
That's what the water taxi is for to and from
the nightclub.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Okay, that's what I'm saying. They take you out there.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Vomit cleaner than the water taxi to and from the nightclub.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
If you do throw up on a you know, at sea,
it's pretty easy over.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
The side clean up. Maccas are float makers.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It's like a drive Macas float boat through. Yeah, she's
going to be handy if you are in the taxi.
If you're on the water taxi, you want to go
to the water makers through boat wash. That's actually that's
actually a legit idea. Well, I think plenty people with
their boats on the water.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yes, b w s drive through the letters. Have you
changed the letters.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Boating or beer beer wine w B Yeah, beer winded
boats beat.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You don't want spirits on the water, ball shark cage diving.
So you go out on the pontoon. You get in
the in the brown in a glass case. What about
the visibility. You can't see anything, But there's actually something
scary about not knowing what's around. Yeah, it's like the
(03:50):
I know, the fear of unknown, unknowing or not knowing
what's going.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
To just smash it.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Bang into that boat in cinema.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Okay, so you bring your tiny yeah, and then we've
got a big screen out there.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Or a floating mechanic. For all those people that have
no idea how to fix an engine, well, that'd be
handy as well. People do that. How do you get
there though? If your engine's broken? Oh, you need someone
towing you? Okay, so I have to have tow trucks boats.
It's RACQ on the water. Yeah, RQW.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, that's an idea. I hope Adrian Struner is listening out.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Hope.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
We need to write these down and.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
If you can expand on them. Thirteen one oh sixty
five six point fifty after seven o'clock this morning. One
of the wildest confessions for cash you will ever hear.
It's an engaged couple and we'll find out whether the
nuptials ever go through after this confession.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But we've been talking about the pontoons. There's these public
pontoons protons prawn turns on the Brisbane River.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Interesting you mentioned that because prawn star the old trawler
boats where they sell prawns. Are talking about maybe that
coming back to Brisbane if they're allowed to have commercial
vessels using the pontoons.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I think we do have a great seafood culture here,
maybe not in the Brisbane River.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
We can go away from stuff that was called a
malula bar and sent to us.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Could there be a legit thing and like they can
be like a fresh seafood restaurant and they go out but
the boat, like the boat cond is the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, that's what that they're going.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, I mean they don't use it anymore as a troller,
but it used to be a prawn troll. And you
sit there, they've got them on the sunny coast.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Oh good, yeah, yeah we need that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yes, especially if you don't and you know, when you
go fishing and you don't catch fish, still.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You do a lot. That's what you still get to have.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Can take your photo for socials, which I know is
what it's all about. You need a new profile pic
with your fish about the point.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, yeah, it's Wendy, Wendy out of hill. Chris. Hey,
when do you got an idea what we should be
doing with these pontoons?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Remember years ago with the flooding, all the pontoons floated
away on the river.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Yes, there was a restaurant and sox is on the wharf,
a Nation drive and it was.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
A seafood rest Yes there was. Yeah, and it was beautiful.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
And it floated away literally down the river.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, seafood and everything was yummy.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah, that's the one that took out the walkway. Yes,
that was the.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Wow. Another one, yes, I like it when let's probably
nail it down to the floor at the bottom so.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That again will attach it better. Yeah. Thirteen one oh
six five.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
If if you've got an idea, if we turn these
public pontoons private, turn them into businesses, what we do?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Look, call up, it doesn't matter if it's it's a
realistic idea, just any idea.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, we've got the Olympics coming, thank you. Yeah, we're
gonna be an international city, think big.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Thanks silly, I mean this is perfect as we get
closer to the Olympics to turn into things like water
taxis or are the more inventive ideas. If you've got
one thirty one oh six five.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
A floating course, racecourse? How does it work? Like a horse?
How does this work? Maybe dogs?
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Race.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Dogs are a bit lighter maybe dogs or cats are they?
Are they swimming now?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
The floating Oh, it's like as a whole track. Well,
that's going to block the river off, so it doesn't
work anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It's got to be to the edge. It's got to
be adele out. None of there's no bad ideas, just
bad people. What do you got, adele?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
I think we should have fishing pontoon tours fish.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Actually that's not bad if you in.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
At the top where they have a million dollar fish
to catch.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, let's put one in the Brison River and call
it the b are one million dollar fish.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
I'm sure aging be able to come up with a
million dogs shrinner.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yes, yeah. So what we do is we released like
a thread fin with a tag.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Eat any fish in the Bristle River.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
No, you wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
You might have to catch all the bull sharks because
they might eat the fish.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well, there goes a million dollars bonus points. I like
it a Dell Chris out of Wellington Point. What do
you got more?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Go?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I reckon. We've seen to have plenty of pontoons. So
what we'll do is we'll have a couple out in
the middle of the river with a big one. Have
everyone standing on the side of the banks. We have
a circus, so you have people swinging from one pontoon
to the other. You have a big ring mask with
a couple of tigers. Everyone's safe. Everyone gets to watch
a free circus sort of like a bit of circus away.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Like the circus that's happening out there in the river
and you're the randstand is the sides of the river.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's it. Everyone gets to watch. I do believe tigers
can swim though.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'm just saying I think that is a good idea. Yeah,
Casey out of Wellington Point, you've got an idea, Casey.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I do, Hi, Kip and Corey, I reckon we need
one of those big duncy inflatable play things like they
have done on the Gold Coat.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yes, on the Tonte the water the big water park.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, kind of.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Things that are inflatable. You'd have to try not to
fall in.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
That is the issues.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Do you go in the water when you get those
or is it just is it just on the water.
Is there any chance that you're going to get a
little mouthful of water?
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I think you in last jacket.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Jackets, Yeah, as long as you had all your shots
and things.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I mean they seem to think it's fine with the
Rockhampton River.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And they've only only yeah, they've only they've only spotted
five mini crocs.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That's that's all that we are good. Yeah, Rebecca a
Bridian Redge, what's your idea?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I reckon transport is going to be a bit dicey
during the Olympics, so why not either flying foxes or
zip lines on the pontoon and you can get them
one side of the river to the other.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Two problems. Flying foxes fun, you know what you know?
Useful everywhere?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Do it every couple.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You save all the money on all these bridges. Yeah,
flying foxes out the ying yang yep, yes.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Ah, flying foxes, that is that's a winner. I don't
you don't need those pontoons for that. We should just
have them. Yeah, yes, Rebecca, you have to see cats.
Well done, amazing, Thank you. My daughter will love that,
love it.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
