“Victorian people might know about Aboriginal culture in a broad sense, but what about local culture? What about local language, the local traditions and the histories of this place? Those are the things that help you to identify with and feel like this is our history, not just Aboriginal history – it’s our history.”

Devastating news over the weekend that we lost Daphne Camf. Daphne was a formidable singer, songwriter and synthesist for many well-loved and often-played bands on Triple R, including SaD, NO ZU, Rat Vs Possum and more. She also regularly co-hosted the program No Pants with Sara Savage on Triple R on Sunday nights in 2013.

Triple R’s April Amnesty fundraiser is nearly here. We were blown away by the number of people who supported Triple R last year – but to weather the full impacts of COVID-19, we need to ask for your support again.

Due to COVID-19’s impact on Triple R’s sponsorship revenue, listener support remains essential to keep Triple R – forever. If you can, please consider donating and subscribing during April Amnesty. You’ll go in the draw to score some sweet prizes, too!
