Talk:Blue Hills (radio serial)

Synchronicity

There's something to this Wikipedia. Yesterday I created the Blue Hills article, purely on a random whim because I had nothing better to do at the time. This morning when I woke up, what was playing on ABC Classic FM? Ronald Hamner's "Pastorale"! Coincidence? I don't think so. JackofOz 21:48, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

would be nice if you added a little bit more detail - which state? what kind of things typically happened? (but actually just the idea of the series gives me a nice feeling as if I had drunk 5,000 cups of tea listening to it) Soane 20:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

World record?

The longest-running radio serial in the English-speaking world is assuredly The Archers, but it had any number of scriptwriters. Every word of Blue Hills was dictated (though not written) by Gwen Meredith. This must constitute a world record, but is not mentioned in my Guinness Book of Records (1990).

Broadcasting

As a kid in Papua New Guinea in the 1960s, we regularly listened to the program on the ABC’s stations: 9PA Port Moresby, and 9RB Rabaul. I’m sure it had wider broadcast currençy in Australia too, than the limited list in the article. Ptilinopus (talk) 13:06, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

The punchline is in the words "and regional networks". There would have been some 30 ABC AM transmitters in country areas throughout Australia, plus the inland shortwave broadcasts out of Shepparton, Vic, all of which took twice-daily helpings of Blue Hills.
