Alpine Radio will be broadcasting live from Tavare Park at the Harrietville Bush Market on Sunday 13th January 2019. 

The Harrietville Bush Market hosts lots of interesting stalls and local producers serve up great food and coffee. Tavare Park is in the heart of Harrietville, alongside the Ovens River. It is located near the Pioneer Park Museum and toilets.

Look out for Alpine Radio's stall, come and say hello to our presenters and request a song. We'll be there from 8.30am to 12.30pm. It's a great location and it will be a terrific day! ​

As the 2018 Captains Ride came to an end, we had a visit from Harley Medcalf in the studio to talk about the adventures and fundraising work done by the volunteers and supporters of this amazing yearly event.
