01:01And what a privilege it is to be the editor in its 90 year.

01:04A massive happy birthday to QCL.

01:40G'day, Ashley Wormsley here, Queensland Country Life, Bundaberg Bureau.

01:45Well done, Queensland Country Life on turning 90.

01:48To paraphrase the late, great Malcolm McCosker,

01:51what better job is there than to be able to point the car towards the bush

01:55and go tell the stories of those people.

01:58Here's to another 90 years.

02:00G'day, I'm Sally Batt, based in Chartist Towers

02:03and sending our big happy 90th birthday to QCL.

02:07Hi, it's Niamh Duff, the Queensland Country Life Roma-based journo.

02:11The thing I love most about Queensland Country Life

02:14is the amount of people I get to meet through the newspaper

02:17and doing my stories and the amount of country I get to see.

02:19Hi everyone, it's Penelope Arthur here,

02:21just coming to you from the family farm just outside Roma.

02:24Just wanted to say a massive happy 90 years to everybody at QCL.

02:28When I think about why I love QCL,

02:30I'd have to say it's probably because we do put the farmer

02:34at the centre of everything we do,

02:36but also because of all the opportunities that I've been given

02:38by Queensland Country Life over the last 26 years.

02:42I've had some amazing adventures,

02:44met some great people, told some great stories

02:47and created some lifelong friendships along the way.

02:50So a very big cheers to everybody at QCL for the 90 years.

02:54Hi, it's Tony Steinhart from the Queensland Country Life newspaper

02:57and I'd like to wish the QCL a very, very happy 90th birthday.

03:03And I just love how the QCL connects us city people

03:06to our country farmers.

03:08So have a good one, QCL.

03:10Happy birthday.

03:14G'day, Ringer here.

03:17Congratulations to the Queensland Country Life

03:19on 90 years.

03:21Not everybody makes it to 90.

03:24I told her that mince had turned.
