where is our farmerthon26 venue?
The Cricket Club Hotel is located in High Street, Charlton in north western Victoria. Owned and managed by local couple Greg and Leanne, the CCH plays a key role in the township, serving as a focus for all sorts of social activity.
Charlton (population 1100) is located on the Calder Highway, around 250km from Melbourne and almost exactly halfway between Melbourne and Mildura. The town's economy is based on agriculture and services. Grain (wheat, canola, oats and barley) has always been a staple of the agricultural activity in the area. Sheep and cattle farming are also prolific with the largest beef feedlot in the state, situated in Yeungroon just south of the town.
The CCH is great place to come along with family and friends for a cold beer and a mouth watering meal. Whether you are a local or travelling along the Calder, drop in and say hi!
what is mylocal.radio?
mylocal.radio is an online radio station, established to be the soundtrack of pubs, clubs and other hospitality venues but, literally anyone can listen, anywhere in Australia. As long as you have wi-fi or 4G access to your mobile device, you can download the app and listen for FREE, forever.
We might be biased but we think that the music is the very best music of the past 75 years. It really is radio as it should be.
24 hours per day, 365 (sometimes 366!) days per year. Great music whenever you tune in.

how do I take part in farmerthon26?
There are a few ways you can participate! We don't mind how you participate - as long as you do!!
* drop in to the Cricket Club Hotel in Charlton
If you are anywhere near Charlton (250kms NW of Melbourne on the Calder Highway), drop into the Cricket Club Hotel in High Street. The radio program will kick off at 3:00pm but the pub will be open from 11:00am.
Drop in at any time of the day - have a feed, have a drink, listen to some great music, make a request. Be a part of the event!
* send through a request and/or a cheerio
We have eight hours of radio to present - your selections and cheerios will make our job easier AND who doesn't love hearing their name on the radio. At the bottom of this page, you'll find a form where you can send through your request or cheerio.
You'll be able to send through a request during the day but you stand a much better chance of being included if you get in early.
* make a bid on one of our auctions
We'll be offering up some valuable auction items throughout the day. All auctions will be conducted via SMS - you'll be able to send through your bids and if yours is the highest bid, the prize will be yours!
More information can be found on our Auctions page.
* listen through the day!
We promise that we will be playing eight hours the very best music of the past 75 years. You'll hear plenty of songs you know, the sort of music you want to sing along to. There'll be the occasional guest, the auctions, the requests, the cheerios - what a day we will have!
To listen, just download the FREE app or visit the mylocal.radio web site.
how can I donate to farmerthon26?
At the bottom of each section of this web page, there are two buttons - one that takes you through to Aussie Hay Runners' secure payment platform, the other that takes you through to BlazeAid's secure payment page. You'll be able to process your donation(s) on their platforms, which means you can be absolutely certain that every dollar goes to the chosen organisation(s).
Another way to donate to the organisations is to be the successful bidder on one or more of our Auctions. Every dollar raised through the sale of these auction items will be split 50/50 between the two organisations.
And then there is Artie Fishall & The Intelligence - scroll to the next section to see how to purchase a copy of the VERY limited copy of An Artie Fishall Christmas - a CD and digital download of their Christmas album.
an artie fishall christmas!
Looking for a unique and fun way to support Aussie Hay Runners and BlazeAid?
Artie Fishall & The Intelligence is a fictional band that produces music using Artificial Intelligence (even their name tells you that!). They have their own channel on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.
Because we are all fans of real music, we don't want to see an AI tool making money so the commitment from Artie and his bandmates is that any money they make will go to charity.
In this instance, every sale of the limited edition album will generate $10 for each of Aussie Hay Runners and BlazeAid. Maybe that's another way you can support these amazing organisations.
make your farmerthon26 request!
This event will only be as good as the level of participation!
Feel free to send through a request - try and make it reasonably mainstream so that most people can sing along while they are listening. If we can find your song - legally - we will play it during the program. The requests will be done on a first come, first serve basis so, get in early.
Please limit your requests to one song each so that everyone gets a turn.
AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE A REQUEST ... but do want to send out a shout-out, that's fine too. You'll see that you can leave the song request field blank.
