Have I missed something?
I 'm fairly sure that regular radio transmissions began in Australia in 1922.

Nowhere have I seen anything about this anniversary.
Nothing on the news, Radio waves, nor have I seen any thing here.

I have read more about the beginning of radio in Australia, in the 1980's than now.

I must get out of my cave and keep my ears open.

I thought the same till I did some digging and found that the first regular transmission was from 2FC at a stately home in Castlecrag on or around the 23rd November, 1923. I think 1922 was when all the licences were issued.

Somewhere else on this site I have a photo of a plaque that was attached to the footpath on the corner of Eastern Valley Way and Edinburgh Road in Northbridge. If I can track it down I will link to it here, or I will go and take another photo as I live nearby.

I have to say that it would disgust me if the Commonwealth Government didn't come back from its eternal holiday in time to celebrate this event. Whilst Australia wasn't the first to broadcast radio, we were certainly involved in the pioneering world test transmissions, radio links between Australia and England and one of the first nations to broadcast radio programming.

And, as we all know, Australia was at the forefront of manufacturing too, making everything from military equipment down to the screws and nuts that held it all together.

I, like you and others, have not heard a word. I may even write to the Prime Minister and Minister for Communications this week (with a copy of the letter published here) to give them every encouragement to provide the 100th year of radio broadcasting with the recognition it deserves.

UPDATE:

I found the photo which is below. I took these back in 2013 for a thread about the 100th Anniversary of AWA. There wasn't much discussion about that outside AWA and this website either, sadly.

As the plaque is hard to read in that photo I will take a better one today.
