On today's show, we’re going to take a trip to the top of a city car park and discover an unlikely native bee sanctuary. We’re going to celebrate Harmony Day. Then we will take to the skies with an autistic pilot, before finding out about the right way to buy souvenirs. And we tour a lighthouse that makes beautiful music. QUIZ QUESTIONS: What types of bees are Jacob and Connor trying to attract? What is the name of the day Australia celebrates multiculturalism? Why do 'real' Indigenous souvenirs cost more than 'fake' souvenirs? Who did Hayden use to fly with when he was a little boy? How many seconds did a music note last bounding off the walls of the lighthouse? BONUS TRICKY QUESTION: What is the name of the organisation that makes the rules for pilots? ANSWERS: Australian native bees. Because they take longer to make. Harmony Day. His grandfather. 8 seconds. BONUS TRICKY ANSWER: Civil Aviation and Safety Authority
